    Unhappy This forum

    I don't know what the rest of you think but I think it's about time we used this forum to discuss the wonderful machines we have the pleasure of owning.

    when I first started to use this forum I thought it was great that there were so many people out there willing to share their experiences and knowledge with a new comer like me that has never owned a bike before.

    Now whenever I look at this forum most posts are people slagging each other off and bitching.

    Lets get back to talking about our bikes and getting on with each other. People have a right of expressing their opnions as long as it is not going to hurt other users and fellow bikers.

    if you want a slagging match I'm sure there are other forums you can join ! ! !

    About time

    It's about time somebody mentioned this. I realise Craig is a busy man what with trying to save us all some serious hassle and money but this site should be moderated a bit more often, maybe another moderator to assist Craig??

    Problem is all this happened betwen 3am - 12 noon.

    As i was still up at 3am. So i dont fancy moderation the board 24/7 if you get me?

    If you noticed all posts were deleted as soon as i came on, it should quieten down now since franky says he's left. Hell he can come back as a new name i wont mind, he can even use his old names, but as long as its all stays as it was before christmas i dont have a problem.

    It is really getting out of hand, this section produces 72% more reported posts than the whole of the board!

    Lets hope it returns to normal.

    Craig, I don't envy you being moderator on this forum mate. I think you do a really good job.

    yeah, don't get me wrong, I'm not criticising craig, he's doing a fine job, but as he says himself, it's a lot of work.

    If everybody was more responsible & mature then we shouldn't even need a moderator in the first place!

    Rigth on Key, although i must say that today it has gone back to a real forum. Big amount of decent replies on serious questions, very nice to see.
    When you think you are going too far, go further.

    and cut down on the 'look whats on ebay' posts! everyone knows to look on ebay, and if your bidding on something then its posted on here youd be right pissed off when your 'bargain' nearly reaches the new price suddenly!

    ok, maybe just a personal thing, but there you go, lol

    but yea, its good board when people keep to bikes n related stuff, theres email and msn for everything else

    hello to all recent new people too

    The way i see it is (no im not sterotyping) most people who ride the rs are quite young we are talking 16+ id say around 90% of rs riders are teens and we all have been there ourselves and know how easy it was to get upset/uptight over some things said or done.

    Also about the ebay posts, Craig should make a sticky topic that states "post all ebay auctions in here" simple and will keep the forum less cluttered, because lets face it some of us do miss out on some sweet deals.

    Right,

    I know e-bay posts sometimes get on my tits, well only when im bidding on that part thinking no one esle has found it.

    Only prob is we cant make a way of doing it so this doesnt happen, although an e-bay post is a good idea, ill have a think about it!
