Et tu Reaper?!!?
I don't understand why a message board about Ambergris Caye (and by extension Belize) should have to have a USA Chat at all.
Back in the day, this board didn't even have a chat session, but some of the frequent boarders got so involved with each other, that they were filling up the About Ambergris sub-forum with all their chitter-chat. Marty thought it would be a good idea to creat the sub-forum Chat. Seemed like a great idea to me at the time. I was relieved to see the chatty stuff moved off of the info sub-forum. Eventually, I got caught up in the Chat too, and it became fun . . .but even that wasn't enough . . .so Marty gave us a BIG CHAT area, that we could go to and be as mean or as silly or as chatty as we chose, without it impacting the AC board. But even that wasn't good enough for us, so he went so far as to give us mini-chat, that you see on the righthand side of this page. And even that wasn't good enough for some of you. So Marty gave you USA Chat, but even that got abused, so it was taken off the board . . .and I'll weigh in and say rightly so.
Though I had no problem with it, because I didn't need to go in there and expose myself to it in any way, if I didn't want to. Regardless, why should it be a requirement? Why should a message board that is supposed to be supporting AC and Belize, have a sub-forum like that?? If people want to discuss, exchange ideas and argue their fool heads off about USA politics and the like, why shouldn't they create their own Facebook place to do it? Why does it have to be on this board? Why do you feel so entitled? Sheesh.
Hey, I love Roatan too. Hey Marty, my friend, please start a Roatan sub-forum. I think that the boarders would like that and it would be good for this board, you know, comparison purposes, healthy competition, boarders having the right to say whatever . . .(and for those among you that are impaired in certain ways, this paragraph is total sarcasm . . . except for my love of Roatan.) :^)
