"(from people who wanted to see the new outdrives,")," huh?
R-i-g-h-t.
The cost of the bandwidth is the problem. The video was disabled even before I posted the URL. (I didn't state you
could view it, just that
Biggus was featured.)
Thousands of Big Boaters, including
Biggus, Cal, (and maybe
Rob and Will - naaah - not
Will) from all over the country know why the video is disabled. "The call" went out to overload the server, driving up the cost for Sebago's
www.lrslr.com from the Big Boat sites, (
www.fastboat.com,
www.vdrive.com, etc) hence, no video at
www.lrslr.com today.
Remember the "Accident on the Broads" thread? Five thousand, six hundred (5,600) views, from guess who?
Not "us-folks", I'm sorry to say.
Google other "performance" sites yourself.
Caution! Some sites are definitely
not family-friendly,
and promote risk-taking behavior in boating and um... other things never viewed at
www.winnipesaukee.com.
Big Boaters don't
just want to disturb lake residents with their "thunder" (what we hear as noise), they perceive their power to extend to nearly everything else.
You wouldn't believe what's going on their sites. They defend the choice of drinking vodka while boating (over Gatorade, water), and defend the carrying of firearms
on board as one of their boating rights. See "Lake Lice" and "Speed Bumps" (and other terms for lesser boats) in print!
Pressure on government agencies, intimidation of Marine Patrols and "tracking down" persons who want to restrict their "fun" appears also. When one of their own collides with a lesser boat, their concern is their Insurance!
They've even ripped our own Webmaster!
"From people who wanted to see the new outdrives," huh?
R-i-g-h-t.
Unless they're just "talking the talk", It's a virtual
Marine Mafia out there!
I kid you
not.
