i remember when wakeboarder.com had alot of interesting discussions and people...but now it sucks.

its like these boards are filled with weekend wallys who essentially dont care about the sport.

WHAT HAPPENED? WHERE IS THE GOOD CONTENT THIS SITE USED TO HAVE? IT'S USELESS NOW.

Guys, of corse the disscusion boards are filled whith useless poo, there have all ways been dumb posts. Take some advise that I got from some one when i was an acctuall newbie. if you dont like the post, dont click on it! it will just fall to the bottom. thank you i hope that you will follow me in my crusade of ignoring all of the stupid posts, to make them go away faster.
Thank you

i too think that this board has started to suck ever since it was remade. since everyone had to start over with their post counts, people have started to make stupid and pointless posts so they can have the highest amount of posts.
what can be done about this? nothing. hopefully over time all the kids with too much time on their hands will get bored and find something else to do.
or maybe it IS just winter.

once again, if you don't like the content than post something interesting. I'm getting tired of people complaining about lack of content yet they don't add any good content themselves Crying or Very sad

This thread isn't going anywhere, and doesn't need to be in the General Discussion forum...so it's being locked. If you want to improve the quality of posts, don't waste your time with threads like this.

I guess nobody has been on forums in the winter before. The winter is always slow and discussions usually don't have much wakeboarding involved because nobody is wakeboarding, except those in southern climates. The new forums have nothing to do with that.

My suggestion is to post about things you'd like to talk about, and ignore the stupid stuff.
