I just have one question... When it says your registered date, it says Novemeber 13, 2002? Was that when you got the new board? When was this first created?

Checkmates may not be the fastest boats on the water, but they are the nicest looking!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Yeah, November 13 was when I registered on the new board. The dates I gave you were when JW and Gus registered on the old board. I was the first one to register on the new board, as I had to test it out and get it running. It took me about a week and a half to get everything set up...and then I told everyone at the same time via email and I posted a notice on the old board.

Some people weren't too happy about the change...for instance....

JW wanted to keep both boards going. He suggested adding additional setback to the old board to make it run faster...

And Gus was pissed when he found out, and wanted to rip apart the old board, reinforce the server with plywood, and keep it going as he was attached to it.

I tried to be funny!

Let's try again...

Rick suggested, I should have brought the old board over to the shop and he could have had a look at it...

Bill suggested, if I had of waxed the old board with the right wax on a regular basis it would have lasted longer than it did...
