nebs - your social experiment to destabilize the forums and cause internal chaos has begun to work!! soon you will be able to sneak in under the radar and overthrow laurie ....bwahh ahh haaaahhh haaahhh HAAAHHHH!!!!
Grow up!
And get a haircut........
Surely 8 pages of people voting to keep the red thumbs is enough to turn it back on? This thread is turning into dribble.
If you're not going to turn the Reds back on, make sure to give the options of "angry, sad, surprised etc" so seabreeze can be just like facebook.

Because the plebian is without a clue and the hero is the only ome who can understand the genius of the plan.....

I think there a quite a few people who said they wanted them gone, over a few years, so the fact those who like to redthumb people are vocal in this thread is hardly persuasive. Laurie has all the info.... and it is his site.
Move on. This thread was dribble straight after Laurie told us what he'd done.

I agree with Greenroom, can't we go back 10years when it was fun.....?
Seriously, and all will agree, that back in the day the forum was cool before the blow in's blew in and the thumbs arrived.
How hard is it to just get rid of them?
Why keep them?
They clearly are causing tension and are a problem. Why cant everyone type what they want without being subject to a red or green thumb?
We all cop it in other aspects of our lives like family, work and social so why put us under scrutiny on here?
It doesn't belong in our already divided forums eg windsurfing/kite boarding, short board/long board.
For me I windsurf, surf and SUP to get away from the bull poo in life and by coming on these forums I can get my fix when not on the water with like minded crew.
Get rid of the thumbs
in it's place - can we bring back "who's perving at your profile" ? that was a good feature. it gave seabreeze a kind of RSVP / Adult Matchmaker feel to it (so i'm told)

Well I've been perved at 14000 times
I have delayed posting to this thread for a few reasons:
1. Most of the breadth of opinions were canvassed by the second page, so I had nothing sensible to add.
2. I think it is useless to try and convince others to change their opinions. That is the beauty of opinions; they don't necessarily reflect sound logic or rational argument.
3. The surf has been quite good lately.
4. The red/green thumb issue won't have any material effect on my life
5. I think if the administrator wants to act as a benevolent dictator in this instance, then that is fine by me.
So why post now?
well I want to see if this post can go to 10 pages, and thought I should put some skin in the game.
C'mon breezers, lets get to 10 pages on arrows, then we can settle down to the really important issues in life, like asymmetrical boards, 9/11 and if sharks really have a place in our ecosystem...
ok, if you want another post to get closer to page 10, I'll add some skin as you said.
I joined a few years ago when I was surprised to find people still windsurfed, and I wanted to get back into it.
Finding the sailing and landyachting sections forums existed also was a bonus.
I don't post much, but have come to learn there are some Sb's who offer some good information and points of view, and others maybe not so much.
I'm not really bothered if you like a post I put up, I'd prefer you do but if not, that's also cool by me.
In truth, it was a long time before I realised what the thumbs were for anyhow.
It should all be thumbs up, we are all meant to enjoy the water in some form.
you people must just like flogging a dead horse ?
the reds are gone ........... get over it and move on .

I am not the only one who complained about red thumbs and it was about 4yrs ago I last mentioned it, so save your stalking for somebody else.

You agreed with whatshisname.
That makes you complicit.
^^^ seems you agree with whomever dished out 2000 red thumbs and about 10 green ones, so you therefore are complicit in the cancelling of red thumbs. So u complain about what you caused. Same logic, door swings both ways.
FFS its Laurie's site, move on.

That magic figure of 2000 was such a red herring, hey ?
Wow, couldn't Laurie dream up a more believable number ....like 1984 or something ?
the reality is, the type of person who would dish out 2000 red thumbs would be too busy playing with themselves to have time to dish out 2000 red thumbs...
i should know
yaawwnnn 
Are you clowns still yelling over red thumbs, I cant believe people got so upset over them they complained lol, thats funny as.

Get rid of the thumbs
Without thumbs you wouldn't be able to enjoy 'windsurf, surf and SUP', we'd all be no better than apes and then have to resort to throwing poo at each other, at least it wouldn't be anonymous

The 'reds' are gone, now how about getting rid of the 'greens'? If this is all about open commentary and debate why should "disciples and fan club members" (or the authors) be able to boost the ego's of their "idols" anonymously.
Ban the thumbs (irrespective of what colour they are), get rid of them all 
9 pages,
it took 9 pages laurie for us to stop careing and move back onto tracking children with watches, swimming with watches, silly signs that say anus in them with a bit of health insurance is a scam and so are hoverboards.
this concludes the experiment now its back to business as usual right?
