No shit throwing = No fun.

[Morcs]

So this is where KB has failed now IMHO.

Ive been at work all day, going on here regulary just to see if there is anything new and exciting - the only thing that made me laugh was a post boomer made to virago using smilies, and he got a farking infraction for it.

Come on this is waaay too much of a nana site now, KB is famed for its legendary shit fights, general abusing and taking of the piss.

A good debate that escalates into an argument is not a bad thing - its damned good entertainment. Its only the internet FFS. but no, it will be moderated, moved, deleted, and infractions handed out.

We are the ones who make KB what it is.

So let us do that.

And yes before anyone has a go at me, of course there is a place for all the useful and informative threads, but what about when you dont need information and help and just want a fucking good giggle.

Beers after work, and going sideways round corners in the wet is what ill have to do for fun tonight...

[imdying]

If it was only the internet, then you wouldn't have posted that post.

[Grahameeboy]

We can also make it what it should not be too remember.....

How many of us have been sin binned. Is an infraction a major.......answer "But a few" and "No".

But careful you don't get sin binned at work for being on KB.........:dodge:

[Morcs]

If it was only the internet, then you wouldn't have posted that post.

True. but there isnt anything else to do at work.

Mind you, doing work does seem like a novel idea...

[Oakie]

Perhaps we need an unmoderated 'Anything Goes' area where people can bitch and moan, be rude and abusive to each other and make statements founded on hardly any truth at all and suffer no consequenses. A bit like parliament I guess...

There already is such an area. Its called Pointless Drivel. Anyone is free to start a new thread in there, reply to posts already made in there, etc.

[Morcs]

Yes but PD is crap. You cant search, the threads dont come up in the new posts, and the red and black colours drive me insane (and im sure a lot of people agree)

We shouldnt have a segregated area for human nature.

This is good shit though that Mods are not overly bothered about and I am sure they get to know which members bounch off eachother and rub necks.

Much I respect and like SixPack, he does dish out shit that is worse than Nats dishes out and that is bad enough so he is kinda his own worst enemy when sin binned.........but he is cool about that and just ends up on www.sportbikerider whatsit site...........

Do a search. Go look at some of the long threads from around 2005. Note the names. The ones where you say "Oh yeah, him, he was good, hardly ever see his name now". Lots of them.

Not just the ones who have been exiled .(Technically, only Mr WINJA ever got banned. But there's a lot more who know that any attempt to return would have them bounced out again in no time, no matter what they did or didn't do.). But also the ones who , from being major contributors , are now seldom heard from. KB has become a resource site, somewhere you go just to check on rides, ask a question . Rather than a community where people hung round just because it was a fun place to be. Even you, Mr Scumdog, are but a near silent shadow of what you once were.

BTW, has anyone noted the geographical bais of both the exiles and the mods? Almost all the exiles are from Auckland and north. Whereas the only mod I can think of from there is Mr Frosty. All the others are from the south.

Dunno what that means, but it might explain why KB has become sort of the motor-scooter auxiliary of the Fendalton Senor Citizens Knitting and Crochet Society. Doubt it's purely coincidental.

EIT: Forgot Ms Riffraff. She's Dorkland.

[Deano]

the new CBR600 has really caught my eye...quite a track weapon and looks pretty sharp.

If only our local dealer had a demo - I would love to take one for a burl.

I have heard that Sportsbikes.co.nz has mostly Northerners (Auck) as members.

I pasted a link to my sprint thread there and got my hand smacked - apparently it's a no no. One member said a few of them cannot access KB, (exiled?) which didn't quite make sense as surely they can still 'lurk' without logging on.

The reason for the hand smacking is that quasi started the site, and its a site in its own right, and understandably gets fucked off when people kept linking and talking about threads that were on KB. A bit of overkill in IMO, but hey, anything else goes on that site.

Hmmm maybe it appears like that to you - but no way have I been forced or modded into a 'near silent shadow'.

I still poke people with sticks, wind people up :innocent:- as well as offering advice, support etc.:yes:

Just like I always have and nobody has threatened to kick me out of the sand-pit.

I once got a yellow card from a mod :shit:- who immediately apologised as he had issued it in error and that is the only time I've been 'modded'.

(I don't count posts being relegated to PD as 'modded')

Absolute crap but then it's always been a long held KB tradition to make unsubstantiated statements and pass them off as fact,


But also the ones who , from being major contributors , are now seldom heard from.

people and their priorities change, it's not much different from a community in the real world where people come and go, if you cant handle it find some Amish to move in with.

I've certainly reduced my posts and surfing time on KB coz I'm finding it harder and harder to find anything here that is interesting, funny or relevant when compared to the time I first logged in looking for advice as a noobie on a 2 fiddy. Pretty soon The_Dover came round for coffee one afternoon and I've never been the same since!:shit:

But there were a few shit fights that were hilarious and no one cared coz it was guys who were mates in real life.

If only life was so easy. There is a big difference between playful banter and malicious bullying abuse. The former is acceptable on Kiwi Biker. The latter is not -- even in Pointless Drivel. Most people who have been members for a while should know where the "line in the sand" is on this matter -- even the pitiful, bitter, shit-stirring, sad old men.

Arggghh! You should have a warning on that picture - I've nearly spat my coffee all over the keyboard laughing.

Although I prefer fucktard over fuckwad. More satisfying rolling off the tongue. . .

Fucktard is a close second to my current favourite word, pudding.

As for internet bullying - amazing how people become nine foot high and bulletproof behind a computer screen, but bugger all have the nerve to say the same stuff face to face.

I don't know what happened or why and make no judgement about the reasons but:

I am a pitiful, bitter, shit-stirring, sad old man and I liked most of the crap that used to get chucked around on here.

4/ No Abuse of another member, ZERO tolerance !!!!
5/ No Threatening Behavour

7/ No Spaming unless you have asked and had permission granted by me only
8/ No Posting in incorrect forums
9/ No Shouting ie CAPS on (includes Winja)
10/ No Offensive member names or Avatars

basically all of the above equals no problems, which is what we have......no problems, and coupled with no Reputation points, its a no prob no hassle site, we got all of the so called trouble makers and they contribute heaps and they are fucking great members to have

No matter how ugly you are Scummy, if you ever make Wellington let us know, we'll have lunch with you and go on a ride. Hell we even put up with Colapop, we're a nice bunch really and that includes the 'rapa crew.

[Skyryder]

On here I use a forum name. Out on the road I prefer my real name. In fact I don't like to be called by my forum name out on the road. Face to face that's personal and I prefer my persoanl name. But then that's just my me. It's not about hiding behind the net or any other such rubbish. It's word play. So there was the occasional shit fight. Hell no ones walking away with a fat lip or bruised eye. So some egoes get knocked a bit but no ones admitting to that happening to them. There were some good old scrapes in days of yore but as with most things all things change. KB is no exception. Maybe one day the rules may lighten up a bit ..............but I'm not holding my breath. KB like so much here in NZ has got PC.

I often wonder these days what has become of KB. While I find it has become a bit dull and boring (in my eyes) its difficult to pin down exactly what I think is the reason for it...but mod-bashing is fucking boring and an unimaginative solution.

I've spent a LOT of (my employer's) time on here, and while I do lament the old days of KB, I'm not going to lose a lot of sleep over it. While we are the site, we don't own the site, nor do any of us 'normals' put any real work into running the site. Donated to Spank yet?

Why yes we have. I dont think that makes a blind bit of difference though, we do that for personal reasons, we actually enjoy being here and have made some wonderful friends, so it is a bit ho-hum at the moment, no doubt that will change once we all stop going on and on about how KB "used to be"
