In retaliation for the harsh winter and added cost for heat, I just saved $584 on car insurance!

Oh, I am so going to steal that. Hahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!1one!1

Nope. Full on blizzard. It just wont stop...

It was raining like cow pissing on a flat rock at the house yesterday. 

You sniff some heavy glue, dude! Are you saying you have a cow pet that pisses on your caves roof?

Awesome writeup and tons of cool pictures!

Gents - please don't misinterpret my registration comment as criticism. I know you guys are waging a battle against the bad guys and my hat is off for your efforts. It sure is nice to come learn and share, or even blow off a little steam with like minded nut jobs after a long day. I think I found Jason's site a few years back after the dust up at the SPA, it didn't help that their forum was a frustrating mess. Actually, I think the same 10 y.o. was running the EAA forums back then too. ;-)

No such misinterpretation on this end, besides constructive critique is always good. I remember the frustrating mess on the associations forum, I was the moron volunteer trying to fix it between 2008 and 2010. Everyone eventually hits their stop, so I started my own site, just to see how a functional, uncensored memberdriven website for seaplane pilots would work. Many ups and downs later, no regrets, other than feeling like I should have started it much sooner.

Who's got snow? More than a foot in the forecast for tonight and early tomorrow.

Maine sucks like a Dyson this time of year.

Did you guys see the Katmai type elevator? I wonder if he got sued for that... Patent Infringement, no?

I very upset you no like my design!

Fly like charm! Up not much but chick dig it! Left right work good!

Gotta give the guy credit for trying. Beats my last Cessna 150 I rebuilt with my bare hands.

Hi dholly, thanks for the welcome!

Registration hoops are not what anyone (including me) likes a lot, but a new age of spam robots make things tough to manage these days. Its a fine line between making something too smart for a robot to figure out, while easy enough for normal people to figure out.

As a forum owner, you want to keep your membership safe and sound while preventing the software from being destroyed.

I am seeing straight out 25x more fraudulent activity with hijack attempts, DDOS attacks than I did 4 years ago and some groups seem to focus in on small sites, instead of going after the big ones. Staying one step ahead is almost impossible. I am sure Lenny can sing a song about the pains associated with all this stuff, it is downright mindnumbing.

Running software like this is the equivalent of being married. You do some totally harmless looking thing today and suffer for it days, weeks, months or years later. Its literally one thing that brings the whole show crashing down. One stinky little thing you didn't consider...or couldn't budget a fix/ patch for.

Thanks!

Not sure where I found this avatar picture but there's tons of them out there.

You should be able to right click those, save them to your computer and then upload them as your avatar.

Thank you for the nice welcome, gents!

Just wanted to say hello to all of Lenny's members. Thanks for the invite, Lenny!

Live in Maine - 39 years old, flying since 1989 (gliders) and interested in anything that flies.

Cheerio!
