    Senior Members

    With this being my 350th post, I now get to ascend into the ranks of the Senior Members. While I am humbled to be among such company, I realize it was a long and hard road with many learning experiences along the way.

    Let me share them with you, and maybe a couple of the other "old timers" will as well.

    1.) Sarcasm does not translate well on a message board. I seem to forget this every single time I post.

    2.) Pay attention to what you are writing, or your dumb comments will be called out. Thanks to talltigeguy, Ray, Nicky, Tweirch, Matt, TigeMD, and all the others that have pointed out when my foot was in my mouth.

    3.) Everyone has some sort of trouble with their boat. Some are small, and the guys on here usually help solve them in a couple of posts. Thanks to MD and lee for all your insight into the dark corners of our boats.

    4.) Tige owner's are the strangest bunch of people. The personalities on here never fail to make me laugh.

    5.) I first visited here when we ordered our boat in 2004 and I was looking for a picture of the "west coast graphics". Having picked them without seeing them, thanks to those of you that posted in the galleries. It made a semi-tense situation much better.

    6.) Tige owner's are extremely brand loyal. I don't know if it comes from years of defending wooden stringers or what, but they are certainly bulldogs when it comes to their boats.

    7.) There are some big dudes on this board, check the Wakesurfing forum for the board recommendation thread and see what I mean. @ 6'3" & 215lbs I'm a middle of the road big guy!

    8.) Probably the single most usefull tip I have gotten from this board is to check your bilge pump for carpet fibers. I know, I know how simple is that. Guess that shows you something about me.

    Well, that's enough rambling! Thanks tigeowners.com heres to another 350 posts!

            To become a senior member do you have to hit the age of 50? Congrats on your milestone. I appreciate all the questions and answers from all the guys here on the site. I have gained a ton of knowledge on the Tige brand and hope to have plenty of questions and input over the next upteen years.

              Thanks for the congrats guys!

              Just to be clear, I wasn't trying to toot my own horn * ok maybe a little* but I think the other 5 guys will chime in with some fun stuff.

              Wrangler, I have been on message boards long enough to know that post count does not = credibility or intelligence. For proof of that, look at some of my posts.

              Another thing, Senior member does not mean I'm old! Having just turned 30, I have to belive that puts me in the lower half of the guys around here...maybe not.

                  I guess I will never get to be a senior member.

                    Carter, I understood! Just trying to be funny in my own way!


                    lee I liked it better when your status was "I changed this because lee doesn't like junior member"

                    That always made me smile!

                      So true... This board seems to run a little counter to logic though... It's a much more civil and informational place than most. Plus, we all have a common "love" that we share... I probably spend too much time on here...but generally really enjoy it. I even like sparring with the G boys...

                      Enjoy and congrats again...wrangler

                        Hell, I was born with my foot in my mouth Son! It is amazing how much different you sound to yourself when you go back and read what you wrote. I don't know how many times I've read something I've posted after posting it and said "Who the hell is this guy?" I liken it to hearing yourself on tape. You sound totally different to everyone else as opposed to what you think you sound like. No matter, its just the internet.

                        Keep Rockin' the Rock.
                        You'll get your chance, smart guy.

                              I think it would be interesting if age was listed after member name and location in the posts.

                              To save you all the question I will be 36 at the end of the month.
