A call for Admin to expand pd

**Maha** · 29th May 2015, 15:35

As the title suggest's, can I suggest that any *obvious* Rant & Rave threads be included into PD sub forum? This site has lost it's value over the past few years and the amount of motorcycle related threads, seems to have been overawed by a copious amount of inane threads on non-motorcycle related threads.

The Activity Stream is 70% bollocks 100% of the time.

I would like to hear the Admins/Mods view on this suggestion.

*That add no value what so ever to the site.

Then what would be in the Rant and Rave forum?

Perhaps if you deem Rant and Rave to be pointless drivel you should just not click on them

PD isn't even pink anymore ffs.

It could be put directly beneath Points Drivel Posts as a Sticky?

Firstly, you should have added a poll.

Secondly, nah, there is still things not bike related which are worth yarning about; fucking heaps which aren't too, but no reason to throw them all down there. Just the ones that are pointless, possibly determined by age/post count/adherence to the original topic.

Of course it all much of a muchness unless spank bring the fairys back anyway...

But I like the movie review thread.

And it was -5 or something in Christchurch this morning so little thought of motorcycling other than I need to clean the dust off it ..... must ride this weekend.

No need to change a good thing. Just read the threads that interest you.

Is there any reason to do anything that might save time at Lake Maraetai?

This I agree with.

Slack moderating.

I doubt many come here for real talk about motorcycles.

i come here to also read about other riders - experiences, rides, gear
there are some excellent riding blogs and pictures for me to think about

The whole site should just be PD.

When you own the site ... you can.

PM greater minds than our's and suggest/ask politely ... The decision/choice is not ours ... or your's ...

Some years ago, there was quite a bit of objectionable stuff being posted on the site, it was decided to form a sub forum (LOA) where you had to subscribe to view. Whilst a large percentage of R&R threads are not objectionable, the subject matter being discussed belies the pure essence of what this site should be about. All I am suggesting is that, there should be section away from the Activity Stream for, out and out non bike threads.
