Well, whatever you do - dont point out their age or profession to a third party. That's worth 3 demerits and limited access to a ridiculously over-moderated forum.

HA!
I discovered the demerit system for the first time not too long ago...
I felt like a 2 year old....& got spanked like one.

Ooops, did I point out someones age?????
Oh wait...that is my age.


It is peaceful & calming over here...........

I don’t generally post or read in the BOF or Twin Talk because there seems to be quite a bit of BS going on over there.

I like the club café because everybody seems to be pretty cool and sedate. You rarely ever see a flame war or people talking about booking flights so they can duke it out face to face.

Now granted I don’t post all that much but that doesn’t mean I'm not here reading every day. As somebody already stated I really don’t want to have to sift through a bunch of useless info or threats from some 17 year old who just got his Black Belt from the official Chuck Norris correspondence course.

I dont see a bunch of threats over there. Not sayin it aint happening - heck, this IS the internet. Which to me, is nothing more than the CB radio of a new generation. But the Twins have more of an older rider base. I'm sure the S3 or Day675 section might have something like that - but I just dont see it in the Twins area much.

I do see a BUNCH of useless bologna, same questions/threads/icantfindthesearchfeature BS, and let's not forget the kindergarden style moderation. My fav is when I see a totally useless thread and the first three to respond to it are postwhores who somehow managed to convince someone around here to make them moderators.

Group hug anyone??

Bonafide, there is a Site Happenings Forum just been established where you can air your views in respectable manner.

We're all reasonable people around here despite what you may think.

Ride on !

Like surferjo, I don't post much either, but I certainly do read everything.
I'm new to Triumphs and motorcycles in general, but there are people in the Club Cafe who know quite a bit and will answer questions more directly. It makes for easier reading.

In all honesty, I didn't notice the changes. I visited the BOF once and found nothing I wanted to read, so I never went back.

I would like to see someone address mjs****ord's complaint. The "naughty language filter" is stupid, childish, it messes up the flow of people's posts and any information they are trying to share.
**** censorship.
There I said it.

Look what the NLF did to his name!
I rest my case.

I definitely get the gist of what you are saying & see the humour in it...
And I agree with Bonafides POV as well.


I managed to go from "Zero to Irritated " in about 5 seconds on the biker hangout trying to talk about some new bike that was coming out & after about 50 posts of the same lame comments & weird little attacks ....I couldn't handle it anymore.
(Apparently there cant be too many of the same threads in any forum at one time......so it got merged over there.)
(Moderators: I am not trying to stir up ANYTHING I am just pointing out what I perceive.)

Tbirdnz Bonafide, there is a Site Happenings Forum just been established where you can air your views in respectable manner.

In Tbirdnz defense as a moderator (as I dont actually know him personally).....He handled my issues very diplomatically & is quite personable on the emails & information superdriveway.

While I definitely have some issues with this site......I love the no BS attitude in the forum.
And dig how it is self policing.
