Thanks to all who’ve taken time to post, and to
@sonny1 who had the balls to second my proposal.
To be fair
@Andy we’ve not yet been turned down.
@ChrisParish has at least intimated they’ll consider changing it to Small Ribs. As long as this has no hard caveats on length and power, then at the very least I see this as a move in the right direction.
Yeah always good to get new members, and it has been quiet on here recently, but I don’t think relaxing the limits in rib section is going to result in a massive influx of Ribnobbers. These guys have there own well established forum on the other channel, where they happily play hardball and rip the shite out of each other. Hell, we already have more than a few ‘dual nationality’ members who seem quite well mannered.
I fully agree the emphasis here should remain focused on small portable craft. I also understand no one is going to be banished, or asked to leave, due to the size of their
dick boat. However, that really doesn’t help existing active members who now have craft which fall slightly foul of the rules.
Yes, we have The Darkside. It’s a great name, it’s fun and a worthy category, but it ain’t the place for members with ribs.
If the management decide it be called Small Ribs then that’s fine with me as that’s exactly what I’ve got.....a small rib.
