The first thing that came up when i looked at the site was a banner ad entitled "Asian women for dating".  I'm glad to know that there is finally a Glastron site that has my Asian dating needs covered.

No disrespect to the creator of that site, but I'll stick to the (banner ad free) CGOAMN!

Maybe you guys have tapped a new market ... women who love guys who love Glastrons/Carlsons?  Not sure how many members are single.

I have AdBlock installed as well...but I have zero interest in an ad-supported site, or diluting the pool of expertise across additional websites.  That was the entire reason for hosting the Iowa forums here.

A performance section was added to the main site...that's good enough for me!

I don't know why I figured it was just another forum for this site, thats the way I did mine, I figured I'd add it to my hang list, but I've not figured out how to block those adds, I just gave up.

If you limit your knowledge to the people on this sight - - you limit your knowledge.

I don't pay any attention to ads (somebody has to pay for it), I also check out Scream and fly. I joined, and we'll see how it works out. My hat's off to anyone who goes through all the work to set up a web-sight for all of us to use.  This is still home.

I tend to try and find as many sites as I can about whatever vehicle I have at the time. My favorites gets kind of full, but as Jerry said, "If you limit your knowledge to the people on this sight - - you limit your knowledge." I'm still trying to find a replacement site for the old Merc inline forum that got me started in boats in the first place.

Yeah, I tend to agree. But on the other hand anything Glastron/Carlson is cool in my book. I joined up? I can't forsee it diluting things all that much. Jerry says our knowledge is limited anyway ...

Y'know being an elderly single gent, I don't mind the ads ...

It uses a Google thing that reads yer cookies and gives you ads you may be interested in, so If you are getting sexy ads we know what you are doing.

Hmm. So evidently I've googled "Johnson" too many times?

I thought the same thing, too.  Another reason not to sign up, I don't want to know what I looked at online once upon a time ...

we need to elect a CGOA delegation to hang out on that site and bring the knowledge back to all of us.  :-)
