V20 Site Problems

I am not a fan of Google and their bots. I think they are more trouble than they are worth.

I hear you about google bots. I was only suggesting to MJ that they probably threw a crawler at the site when he applied for AdSense, which couldn't crawl the site.

Like I said this is a great thread, and has lead to something I think is going to be great!! I have not spoke with Valiant yet, and a few more things, but looks like things will get better in a month or so, I will update you guys soon!

It seems fast this morning.. I would gladly contribute, can't get this kind of commeradere anywhere else.
Great site MJ. Thanks for all the hard work. Valiant too.. I sit back and watch while folks make comments about speed, I have wanted to mind you, BUT I hesitated thinking you already had enough on your plate... Good to see your back to posting often, a sign that you are on the mend..
Willy and others make a valid case for contributions/dues. I am sure there will be a bunch of willing participants.

A little faster this morning, but still much slower than in times past.

I look forward to the solutions MJ and Valiant come up with. Thank you for your dedicated service and sacrifice to keep this site going.

Even though I no longer own a V20, this is still my favorite boating forum and it has everything to do with the quality of friendships formed here over the years.

I, too, would be willing to contribute an annual membership fee if needed.

Whatever you do, if you decide to sell please do not sell to an outsider (unless the offer you big $$). I myself would be interested and probably some of the other guys that frequent, if you ever were to sell that is. I just want to see it stay in the family so to speak!!!

Thank you for all you do. Slow or not, I ain't going anywhere. Ya'll are stuck with the Blue man.
