[Quasievil]

Yeah I dont mean to be offending anyone but back in the day we all knew each other well and it was a smaller and tighter KB club, somewhat different today dont you think.

Please do :yes:

[merv]

Please do :yes:

What do you mean? Moderate the moderators and let people enjoy themselves again huh?

[Mental Trousers]

What do you mean? Moderate the moderators and let people enjoy themselves again huh?

Nothing wrong with what the Moderators do, just what everyone thinks they do. Apparently getting a warning 6 months ago means they're all Nazi's.

They're alright, you have to watch out if I get involved though.

When was the last time anything you did was on the wrong side of the rules??

[Pussy]

They're alright, you have to watch out if I get involved though.



You gonna hit him with your handbag?? :whistle:

[Katman]

When was the last time anything you did was on the wrong side of the rules??

Yeah merv, you're such an armature.

[Mom]

Veterans? Tame? Fair weather riders? :facepalm:


Um.....................bunch of old pussies? or just posers?

You call it :yes: We are still here too, been such a long time Ms Thrush :shutup:

[Virago]

Yeah merv, you're such an armature.

Pfft - pot / kettle. You're almost respectable these days. Feeling your age...?

[Katman]

Feeling your age...?

Recharging batteries.

[Virago]

Recharging batteries.

Let me know when you're up to speed - I'm out of KY Jelly...

[Mental Trousers]

You gonna hit him with your handbag?? :whistle:

I borrowed yours

[Maha]

Dunno how long its been since I last came on KB but see a few changes!:facepalm:

Who is still here?

Im almost rideable again.....:innocent:

I pop in every now and then...but um...remember these?
Two of my fav' pics of your good self.

[007XX]

Please do :yes:

Be careful what you wish for my dear... Besides, you might have to un highlight my name first: we wouldn't want the Mods to have a rogue amongst their ranks now, would we?

[007XX]

Let me know when you're up to speed - I'm out of KY Jelly...

Oh my... Is it several degrees hotter in here all of a sudden or is it just me?

But forget KY... look up Astroglyde, thats the stuff!

[merv]

Yeah merv, you're such an armature.

Obviously 'they' don't like me asking questions either.

I'm a nice guy so shouldn't fall foul of the mods but I don't contribute as much as I used to because they've still shoved my stuff around, joined it to other threads, put stuff in PD etc - so I think the point of this thread is the place aint what it used to be and in my opinion it won't be if people can't be themselves on here.

[Mental Trousers]

I don't think the Mods should be significantly more active and on the offensive like they used to be merv.

[merv]

I don't think the Mods should be significantly more active and on the offensive like they used to be merv.

Maybe not, but then I've never liked how much they have interefered with conversation as it has flowed.

What's the chance you can actually explain why the OP posted what was said at the beginning?

Why do you think this place has changed? Do you think it is for the better? Is it now bland and boring because mods were so much on the offensive? Was that the aim of the place?

[Mental Trousers]

It's the usual problem.

Do you have one thread that has all the discussion on a particular subject or 50 threads all talking about the same thing. Like most forums, KB merges them all into one.

Change is inevitable. KB is no longer the same because, like everywhere else, the sheer weight of numbers of new members has changed things. Those new members all come in and want to be accepted and therefore not offend anyone. So the whole place ends up a lot more polite (and therefore fucking boring) than it was because the older members gradually disappear.

[Crasherfromwayback]

Fuck that. When I arrived it was all guns blazing!

[Mental Trousers]

Fuck that. When I arrived it was all guns blazing!

Exactly. It was fun. But membership is 22,000+ now, not about 2,500 back in '06 and sheer weight of numbers changes things.

If the Moderators were as active as they were back in '06 we'd have about 80 of them now. Screw that.

[Kickaha]

Nothing wrong with what the Moderators do

Pffft Of course there is you Mods are all such bastards


I don't think the Mods should be significantly more active and on the offensive like they used to be merv.

Ah yes but back in the "good ol days" there were members who were significantly more active and on the offensive


When I arrived it was all guns blazing!

Yeah but only because you're a prick

[Crasherfromwayback]

Yeah but only because you're a prick

And your point?:innocent:

[Ronin]

Well Crasher is still a cunt so...

Unmoderated this place would degenerate faster than a truck full of spastics.

You have to know when and how far you can go off topic as well as how far you can push common decency. You will find those that feel over moderated often know none of this.

[merv]

No worries crasher at least a few of us keep talking no matter what.

If it is true that there is less moderation, perhaps Mental you could do a campaign to bring the "old" people back and warm the place up a bit coz they won't feel so screwed now?

Ronin threads always die when they get boring and past their use by date so I see no point them being consigned to PD. If they are still busy at that point then they must be still interesting to someone so why bother changing their status? That has always been my beef. While you think crasher still is one I don't reckon he's bad to have around here all the same.

As for Katman, I'm a Hawkes Bay boy myself so he's probably OK too lol.

[Mental Trousers]

I do. But people have things in their lives that meant they stepped away from KB (like having a baby or just getting a life) so coming back as much as they used to doesn't happen.

[Ronin]

AFAIK threads (or posts) only end up in PD if they are wildly of topic, offensive or in the case of anything by DB, both. I have seen I think 3 threads deleted in all the time I have been here. Trust me, in terms of other forums around, this is a free for all.

[Mom]

I don't think the Mods should be significantly more active and on the offensive like they used to be merv.

Me either, I quite like the attitude these days, mind you there is SFA to get upset about, apart from the odd member that has a very small penis and needs to say disgusting things in order for his member to begin to get a semi...


Fuck that. When I arrived it was all guns blazing!

You haven't changed Pete...


Pffft Of course there is you Mods are all such bastards
Ah yes but back in the "good ol days" there were members who were significantly more active and on the offensive

Yeah but only because you're a prick

What you talking about Willis? You were the worst of them weren't you :girlfight:
Please dont take offense I have run out of bling due to may old age :yes:

I agree! Love this comment :yes:

[Usarka]

I don't think the Mods should be significantly more active and on the offensive like they used to be merv.

At the time Ixion was arguing that the "activeness" was killing the site. Maybe he had a point as he was being riddled with bullet holes....... :innocent:

[Kickaha]

Maybe he had a point

He didn't....

[Usarka]

He didn't....

Did :bleh:

[Hitcher]

Some Mods have always been attracted to passiveness. Over-zealous enforcement creates way too much work and generally only ever ends in tears.

Although this is a member-driven site, the bottom line is that the Golden Rule applies.

Yes, there has been a drop-off in the site's characters, some of whom are missed. People often go through stages in life's journey, which can include actively contributing to KB for a while, before moving on to other things. When this site was invented, there was no such thing as Facebook.

A lot of discussions have also been had many times before, so there's little point in us Crusty Old Farts(TM) joining in on those... again. I only laugh at my own jokes twice.

[FJRider]

.... I only laugh at my own jokes twice.

You do jokes ... ??? :blink:

[Hitcher]

You do jokes ... ???

I think so. I don't do abuse though, which occasionally limits my punchline choices.

[Crasherfromwayback]

I think so. I don't do abuse though, which occasionally limits my punchline choices.

Time to branch out!

[Usarka]

Time to branch out!

Speaking of abuse...... how'd your start go here :lol:

[Crasherfromwayback]

Speaking of abuse...... how'd your start go here :lol:

I handed out some, and got plenty back! Wouldn't have it any other way.

[Maha]

.........if all those that tell the protagonists to 'fuck off' stop telling the protagonists to 'fuck off' then the protagonists wouldn't 'fuck off' and the site would be as it used to be..(to some)...it hasn't changed that much from where I sit. Its just that the protagonists have cleared off or have been banned.......but thats what the 'people' wanted right?
All that needs to happen is for 1-2 to say that the site has changed , and to some (if not most) its just easier to agree.

...in essence.......be kind to the protagonists, let them be, they are a big part of the 'fun times'.

The one or two that are still around have gone soft and wained to the many.
Why?...because thats what the many want...and thats what the many get.

[Maha]

...the site has grown, and if that is translated into 'changed' then so be it.
Alot of the early joinees left after only a year or two....
That evident when you look back at early threads...some of the 03'-04' members made '103' post and that was that!
Kiwibiker was never going to stay 'tight'...
If thats really what you want, start your own site...TGA slappers did (but they still pop in here also)

It did go through a manstration period whereby, a few deaths ensured that a 'Group Ride' policy was put in place which only killed off group rides...well done to whoever came up with that idea.
...the over moderating has calmed down....now, the admin/mods just do a good job.

[Maha]

The funniest moment on here for me was when the Regional Weekend Ride threads all got binned.....Tauranga/Hawkes Bay and the Manawatu...to sit here and watch that unfold was weez making!
Two lots ended up towing the line and one lot ended up crying so hard they couldn't come back, so they started thier own site........it can be done.
Moderarting at its best/worst?....Ken that was legendary.

Maha, no idea where you got that pic of me scoffing my face full of food! Those leg warmers brought me doom....I should have listened to Dmntd haha.....

Is there going to be a july pissup? :innocent:

Mom, if I change my name will that remedy the thrush problem? :shutup:

I am debating a July bash with myself. We have done many "July birthday" parties, Marks is still to come. Always had heaps of fun too. Much as I want to, I think this year is for the rebuild. It has been a very hard 12 months for this gal. I am almost 12 months since I lost my Mom and I recall being terrified that Mom would spoil my 50th last year, she didn't...

Stand by for next year. Maha turns 50!

You are a July baby too eh?
