UPDATE: based on 71 and counting Yes votes, we decided to set this up...


https://surferunderground.com/



Still has a ways to go to implement all the features for embedding videos, etc. so you will see new features showing up from time to time.

Would be willing to set this up and host it, but only if the usual suspects and OG's are in. You all make it what it is.

I don't think Reddit cuts it. The format for threads, and quoting seems sucky, and leaves a lot to be desired for customizations, emoji's etc. Plus, its Reddit. ??

Could be fun. We could nominate Mods and copy over a lot of the threads / content straight away, and keep it rowdy / true to the counter culture.

Just some thoughts. What say you all?

Reddit thread format is shithouse.

And heckling of any wavestorm gopro kumbaya efforts will be mandatory.

i'm not an OG - only been here since '09 - but this place rocks and it always has...the erBB is literally part of the history of surfing by now and i have no doubt it deserves a chapter in Malcolm Gault-Williams's Legendary Surfers archives, at this point. so i'm down with whatever, if it will have me, and no, Reddit doesn't cut it.

It's about time someone recognized my "Mad Moderator Skills".

I'd like to thank all the little people that made this possible. Go ahead and give yourself a high five.

Can we still be crude? Can we say bad words, like "poop"?
It would be underground / independent, so Yes, of course. I suspect it would be mostly word of mouth for new members as well or take a lot of time to start showing up in the search engines.

Still, we would need some level headed moderators so things don't get ridiculous or violent. The forum sections would mirror what we have now:

Surfer Discussion
Design Forum
The War Room (everything from Politics to Hot Chicks)
Etc.
