Your group chat on Insta reaches how many people? And is it specialised (ie they are all wavesailors or freeriders and all Qld etc)?

Its not the same as a forum

You're kinda like saying get rid of Wikipedia as there are a heap of smart people on Insta chat groups.

The format is different. Its a different purpose.

No I'm not involved in these group chats I prefer seabreeze.

Then why are you complaining about it? Trying to make it like something you're not involved in???

Puzzled!!

I'm not complaining just mentioning the site looks stale how is that puzzling for you.

For most sites, yes it would need an upgrade, badly
But most on here are in their senior years, took them a long time to work out how to navigate around here, hell, some still cant work out how to post pics without them being upside down lol

So to change this site would be devastating for some.

So, yes it does look stale and old fashioned, but no to changing as Laurie would have to work overtime teaching some what buttons to push on their computer machines lol

Spot on Mr wind. I'm about to post a pic showing my age, and I just hope it comes out the right way up!

In this day and age the site looks stale, so 1990's
Instagram is smashing this site ,look at the old limited emoji's and the layout for a start.
Time to freshen up and lift your game.

is there some way we can get internet points
you come across as a tech savvy guy

Maybe I should start a "go fund me" or kickstarter account, promote it on social media, use the funds to build new emoji, and then charge a subscription for access to the new swisho forums? Sounds like a cool plan...what could possibly go wrong?

Hmmm ... Instagram has a billion dollars in revenue .. it should be a smashing site. If I didn't have to manage so many flare ups in the forums, I might have time to actually build something...

Don't forget to claim the rights for all the images and videos posted on the site as well as selling the personal data.

Use facial recognition to log in, sell that data to whatever agency wants to use it.

The possibilities are endless Laurie, you could end up as another Zucherberg.

Yeah I understand that ,but one point I was making is that a lot of ex seabreeze members have made groups on instagram and stopped using your site for many reasons and one is the bulling that goes on,I'm purely speaking for others here not myself.
I get it that windsurfers use seabreeze for weather, however do people still windsurf?

If insta gives you what you want then why worry about seabreeze some good reasons for no change including from da boss. I think insta will go the way of myspace before seabreeze does you were commenting on the staleness of the site which you most certainly are entitled to do but response from others and the single green thumb you got suggests others do not have the same opinion.
