What is worse, I believe it has changed the atmosphere of this site. Winnipesaukee dot com is just not the same. I do not have a Go Fast boat. Never did. I regret how the whole Speed Limit situation has irreversibly changed this forum which I loved so much. It took away something very special.

No Joke
SL just increased the divide between lot owners and lake users IMO. So, the divide on this site just mirrors reality.

I've been on this site a long-time and there has always been that undertone of us vs them. The SL just painted the elephant bright yellow and put a bullhorn on its trunk. False sense of entitlement.
