Kb?

[Mental Trousers]

well there are so many other threads on this site that actually need dealing with when it comes to being malicious/threatening/abusive.

They'll be dealt with eventually. The main problem is the amount of tears and wahh the Moderators have to put up with when they try to stop EVERY thread from turning into 99% shit. Shit talk has it's place. But the majority of it starts elsewhere.

Its not that expensive and I've never been charged for "traffic", dont have a server or been charged for storage space as that is the hosters job and they charge accordingly.

It's still an ongoing cost. KB is hosted in the US and costs a little bit more than I what I would expect you are assuming.

The amount of traffic KB gets with the number of Database executions a second would crash any standard website hosting plan, as most of them are shared plans where there will be 100's if not 1000's of other websites using a same server. This is the most common website plan and what most people have for their business and private websites...

KB is not hosted on a standard shared website hosting plan... its on its own dedicated server. With this come extra expense, of looking after and hardware, upgrades etc... The software that is used (vBulletin) is not free and is an on going yearly cost for the upgrades and security patches... Depending on the plan depends on how much traffic is allowed... if you go over that it could be an extra charge, it could be the limit the speed, or it could be you get time outs server over load... it could be that you the close the site till the next months bandwidth is allocated or you pay extra and upgrade the plan.

and its not as cheap as you make it out to be

Alright but lets keep it mutual, I agree with some points you raised, see above post.

You get one song in the hit parade and your ego expands to gargantuan proportions.

Wind your neck in sport. I don't care what you want from KB, and neither do the other thousands of people who use KB in the way they choose to without the terms and conditions being dictated by someone with an obvious borderline personality disorder.

In the grand scheme of things, neither you, KB or I are of any particular significance. Your (and my) challenge is to take or leave the things that do or don't provide you with a measure of comfort at being so very insignificant.

So I guess I ride the wrong bike too, and the fact that I'd love a Harley-Davidson Rocker in my garage means I'm completely without hope? There are other fights out there to pick. Don't open Rant & Rave dude. Simple. Don't go back to threads that have been sent to the oblivion of Pointless Drivel. Simple.

HuH? I didnt get any hit songs what are you on about? No big ego, im not a significant person in KB neither do I view myself as one, neither do I care.

LoL to the personality disorder, a fair bunch have met me in person on this site im not a unsocial crab, you're welcome to meet me anyday that is if you arent so riled up from what I said.

Yes I get it im a fly a fly on the wall, im insignificant on this site no need to get your panties in a twist

If the RR threads (which by majority prove to be bollocks) werent up in the first place then we wouldnt have to deal with them in the first place now would we. Its a trolls breeding ground.

[Ixion]

.. Id promise you would see more noob biker Dean...

Be still my beating heart.

[FROSTY:Me]

Dean--Nope dude RR was created for a reason waay back when to stop the trolls from taking the serious biker topics off topic. Basicly a place for people to smack talk or argueably talk shit.
I would argue perhaps that R and R could possibly be Non viewable by non members of KB.
There was an argument awhile back that if ya don't own a bike then you shouldn't be a KB member. That can't work because theres a few of us temporarily between bikes.
I personally would support the notion that if a person doesn't intend to ever own a bike or ride on a bike then what the hell are they doing on a biker site.
Kinda like a homophobe going into a gay bar really. -You can do it but why the heck wouldya want to??

I think KiwiBikers layout should look more like this

But my Ex never intends on getting a bike, but was a happy pillion and would have enjoyed this site if was around 10 years go... it would have been right up her alley... And she would have had a few good tips for those that are just pillions...

edited suitably thank you --Yep Pillion would agree with your post. She couldn't ride but was happy to go on the back of my bike and gopher at race meetings/trackdays

It's the pre-Xmas fuckstick looming towards their rectums (I don't know, this thread is so full of shit I thought I'd add some more. Haven't people got better things to concern themselves with than arguing on the internet about where and what should be posted here? )

I think we are misundrestanding the meaning between RR and pointless drivel, but you made some good points and I guess I agree with you on it. Thats fine to have non members to not view RR, and to cure the pillion problem the pillion could, assuming its a person of close relationship - use the same account as the biker who she/he pillions OR they make a special tab on the username like with mentors so people can see they are a non biker but pillion or getting one. This could be enabled when you are temporarily out of bikes at one time, or searching for a bike, or you dont have one but pillion.
