Apart from a couple of threads, when did you see a successful one off ride planned from KB?

Yes, 2011.

KB is a dying site due to poor moderation. Have seen it before on other sites.

To get the word out on rides I believe the only way these days is FB if you want to hit the masses. No you wont get everybody but such is the nature of advertising.

What Leathel said was ''absolutely it should be on facebook but many choose not to be on there and if you cover all basses it must be better?''

Even you get 65 from here to an event it's better than not right?

Active members have gradually lessened on here since the the inception of FB by about 1000, but I would hesitate to add that they are all on FB, they just don't post on here any longer.

It would be interesting to know how many active members still ride. And how many just come to vent frustration at not being allowed to ride anymore etc.

As ive said before, KB is no longer a place to get motorcycle talk or advise. I go to overseas sites for that which are strongly moderated. KB is now a Trademe forum with a motorcycle side.

I will concede that you are probably right in saying they might have got some extra if the event was posted on KB.

Me, a mere male, took the time to sew! Yes I said Sew, the cloth badge for this ride onto my (finally found a use for it, Hi Viz Vest) shitty old bright yellow vesty thingy.
Along with a number of other important, to me at least, badges that I want others to see ,when I do ride.
Spokes, you are right, a lot of people fail to show up here like they used to.
But "poor moderation" isn't the problem, the problem is no fucker gives a damn anymore, not one iota.
As Mods the hardest thing in the world is, looking at a post and saying, what are they going to think? should I get in first and get rid of it?, or do I let it out and see what the others make of it.
We're all supposed to be adults here, censure-ship isn't what is expected here, what is expected, is that us Mods try to moderate without destroying what has been said, you guys make the rules work , or not, not us.
