I was gonna get mad you called me old and bald, but you also called me different. That's a compliment of the highest order, so...you're forgiven. So many new names/faces on the signup sheet. I dunno, fellow Poobah - we might have to hold a seminar on proper C-Brat behavior. Maybe we can find...

There's a better than even chance a big green boat will make an appearance. And, I've been told there's a non-zero chance the former owner might show up as well.

Time does indeed, fly. I'm so blessed to have had y'all in my life. Many of you were here on day one and still check in regularly. Others no longer own C-Dorys, but still pop in to see what their C-Brat friends are up to. Some moved on to other interests, and many - unfortunately - are no...

This is related to the "Big Changes Coming" post that describes upcoming site upgrades, but it's important enough to give it its own topic. As mentioned in that post, there will undoubtedly be some bumps in the road doing a migration of this scale and magnitude. One of them just surfaced -...

The annoying ads are gone. Revenues were simply not adequate to put up with the site interference they caused. I've reverted things to how they were previously. The ads showing now are a mixture of Google ads and past sponsors - we currently have none. Good progress is being made on the site...

The one I supplied works fine. colby's had a quote error - I fixed it.

This is a separate issue from the site upgrade, as you're seeing this behavior on our current, old system. The "new software" is still a ways off. Still, know I'm not a fan of how the ads are now working. They annoy the hell out of me (I don't block them, I eat my own dog food) and changes are...

Work on the migration is progressing, but as expected - it's very complicated. The biggest challenge to the developer has been migrating the photo albums. Forum content is actually pretty straightforward to bring across to the new platform, but those lovely pics we've been collecting for 2+...

I'm buying back the dink I sold with my Nordic a while back at a good price. It's an Alaska Series, but it's the big one - 270 TDS coming in at 8'10". I really liked it previously as there was plenty of room for wife, dog and anything going to/from shore. However, in measuring the cabin top of...

Trust there's still a bit of guilt on my part there, no matter how much he reassures me it was what he wanted to do. And, he knows the helm is always available to him. He just needs to take a 4.5 hour drive north now. 8)

Zero. :mrgreen: Again, we're always grateful for these donations - but we never want it to appear we're asking for money. We're not getting rich from the C-Brats, but the opposite is equally true. Neither of us will end up in the poor house over these expenses. Ads will cover the migration in...

Hey fella - long time no chat! How's that fine red boat treating you? I know a guy who has regretted selling it many times. :mrgreen:

Thanks for thinking of us Colby, both in reminding folks we exist as well as mentioning the Tip Jar. I know I can speak for Mike in saying both of those are appreciated by us. Finances right now are fine. We might go in the hole a little bit over the next 6 months paying professionals, but if...

It's been a while since your C-Brat nerd has posted a novel 'round here. If that's something you've no time nor interest in, I'll cut to the chase. Big changes are coming. You won't recognize this place in the coming months - and that's a good thing. For those interested in all the gory...

Based on feedback, a couple ad changes were applied yesterday. - The interstitial ad unit (pops up, must be closed to continue) has been removed. - The floating footer has had a few tweaks made, including disabling it for tablets given the amount of screen space it takes up on those devices.

So, the "secret" is out. Couldn't be happier - thanks again, good buddy. I know it's a bittersweet development for you but trust the ol' gal is in good hands. Over the last couple of years, Mike's made comments to me several times about selling. I of course, did my my best to dissuade him. It...

I'll be chatting with the ad folks about some changes in the next few days, likely cutting back on locations/frequency until we have new forum software in place. In their defense, the sites they typically manage ads on have far more capabilities for ad placement and ad availability than we do...

I've offered up an easy solution - any modern ad blocker will eliminate them completely. I've also said we'll take in feedback and act accordingly and that site updates currently being worked on - at considerable expense - will offer ad free options. Interestingly, the web site you chose to...
