ScubaBoard needs your help...

[formernuke]

Ever join the broader scuba groups on Facebook? About half the posts are "yay-I-got-such-and-such-card-look-at-me" pictures.

One of them is all about split fins suck.....actually that reminds me of here in 2008.

I'm not going anywhere and when I die, there are a couple of people who will take over without a hitch.

As positive as you sound, that's not necessarily protection against ransomware or legal threats. I'd hope you have shared/offline backups of public stuff (non-PMs, private account info, etc.) to give to people. Archive.org only goes so far.

Split-fins, Shearwater, PADI, etc. Same old jokes repeated for ages. Gets cringey after the 15th post about why divers roll backwards off of boats.

The community here is truly second to none. You all are almost like a family to me. Seeing that the Board couldn't even afford stickers was so sad. Seeing that level of hardship and financial distress really stuck out to me. The advice, expertise and friendliness of everyone here has truly made this my favorite forum on the internet. I really would be upset to see it go, so it's nice that I can chip in to help the board continue. I'd love to have my kids be able to use this invaluable resource.

A big thanks to all of the mods, staff members, supporters and members of this site who make it the great place that it is.

Take care of yourselves!

Stay healthy, happy, and safe diving!

Respectfully,

Thank you, OctoHelm! I've noticed that some voices in here make me feel very fond of them too. I want to keep hearing them. And though not every section or thread on the board interests me, the others do interest me endlessly. So much to learn!

Excellent points!

Excellent points!

I see you got you account fixed. I remember a FB post saying you were having issues, just don't ask me to find that post.

As for scuba board there is a lot of good information here. Unlike FB groups this site is actually organized and searchable.

Also a good place to find locals to dive with.

Thanks for all the work you guys do to keep this great resource up and running. I'm happy to pitch in..... Hell, if it wasn't for this site I might still be risking my life in split fins
CHEERS

We don't moderate for content, not even for advertisers, only for kindness. The mods and I have tried to make this a great place for you to come get unvarnished opinions on agencies, instructors, gear and dive destinations.

Unfortunately, this is no longer true. The mods do emphatically moderate for content, specifically Colliam7 & sleepy in Canada (or something like that). Colliam has also been snotty to me as well. I just wanted the Chairman to know that I carefully considered sending some money your way. But, having been burned repeatedly after supporting some forum, I was waiting to collect experience here before doing so. Now I can't see how I could support scubaboard financially.
