Why A New Forum? My Explanation....others will add their stories

[leeatmg]

I was asking more out of curiosity than anything else (about whether he can edit the content without attributing the edits.)

If he owns the content that is posted there, what does that mean for those of us who may have posted the same content here (as in, posted the same photo in both places, etc.) I just want to be clear. I'm not trying to stir anything up here, and would really prefer for all this to calm down at this point.

Mel, I hope you don't think I was offended by your post and I certainly hope I didn't offend you I was just trying to keep you grounded. You flyboys like to keep your head in the clouds

I'm here because I like the people here. Plain and simple.

Agreed. I am calm. I'm attempting to share facts to keep people calm and not get wacky ideas.

[edit: original post said "Brian does own..." but it was a classic iPhone auto-correct blunder ]
1. Brian does not "own the content". But he has rights to do with it whatever he wants.
2. None of all this "content" on either site has been copyrighted. You are just as free as he is to copy posts. You can even secretly alter them before reposting. We may not like you after that, but you are free to do it.

No Mark, not offended at all. I just don't want to offend anyone either. And I am more in the "turn the other cheek" crowd than I am in the "take no prisoners" crowd. But I feel that what he has published on his website may be his intent, but it or may not be the law. And I don't know the law...the only way you can find out what the law says, is to challenge it...and yes, that takes some money. I don't want to spend money challenging or defending, as such, I try to live my life in a way that I am not having to do so. I am still banned there apparently, or at least my IP address is blocked.

Mel, you are flying all over the place and connecting from all sorts of locations, so if he's blocked your IP at home, he can't do that for the whole country! So he's banned your account like he has mine.

To those who say we shouldn't stir things up by asking that our content be deleted - my opinion differs. 11 years of content is a lot, and I see no reason that if I can't access it, why anyone else should either. My counsel says he is obligated to delete it if I request, and I have requested. That said, my counsel has also suggested an alternate option that I am contemplating. But posting publicly about this is silly and the community doesn't really need to know and it doesn't really matter to anyone but me (or whomever else wants their content removed).

So lets return more interesting threads!

I found this thread an interesting read
http://yamahajetboaters.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=61112
I wonder who from this site posted it?

If you are banned and want to see it, I can pm you the contents.

4 Day trips? What a walk in the park…I just did an 11 day double Mumbai…
But I digress….thank you everyone for this thread. I don't live anywhere near Texas, but it's good to finally read what all the excitement was about.

"
You are not authorized to read this forum".
That's all I can see lol.
In the way of commercial entities if we post something and he changes it without our permission , and that change, or deletion causes us economic harm
I believe
there would be valid grounds for a cause of action .
If someone wanted to go that route.

I was first informed of this new web site after I learned of some discontent on YJB. I checked out this site and see that many experienced Yamaha boat owners with good advice had moved here. I gave it a try and now am about 80% here and 20% YJB.

It is quite clear that the software used for this site is superior. It looks much better and is easier to use on my smartphone which is a big attraction.

So the combination of active and good advice here, coupled with better software, is peaking my interest in participating here.

Well said jdonalds!!

@jetlagged When you say "Double Mumbai" I assume you mean US to Mumbai round trips?? I can't imagine doing two of those in 11 days! I do one of those in 11 days and I'm fried! I assume you don't attempt to get on local time at all though? You must be a United Pilot....can't imagine you flying for Air India....

 

[Glassman]

I thought a "Double Mumbai" was a cocktail, whew. Thanks for clearing that up.

 

[jetlagged]

Okay, it's two roundtrips from Amsterdam to Mumbai, so it's only about 9 hours each way…I swore I'd never do it again, but now there's a 2 day AMS layover in the middle so it's not quite as brutal as it used to be. And yes, cocktails are definitely called for on the layover!
Northw……oops, I mean Delta...

@jetlagged , @Suchawittygal @Glassman @txav8r @Bruce

Perhaps that should be the forum's official drink? A Double Mumbai? Now how to make one?

 

[jetlagged]

I think you're on to something there…I'll consult a couple of bartender friends!

I think that's a GREAT idea!!

 

[Suchawittygal]

Maybe that's what I should start to call my two shots of raspberry vodka, ice water, and Blueberry Crystal Light and for you folks out there watching your waist this is one of the lowest cal drinks out there. only 1 point on WW!!
