To crap or not to crap...

[cowboyz]

ok. serious question.

It was voted that this forum be used for crap-talking and not rides.

people talked crap (in abundance)

over a year, 7000+ posts and 90000+ views gets binned for following the forum rules.

Knowing Spankme's insistance that posts don't get deleted is it not more likely that it has all just been moved?

It's a pity about the talk crap thread, although if we're honest, some of the others were getting out of hand.

The cheek of it.

My post count just plumeted, Monies gutted she was building up to her 200 and now shes under 100. That sucks

[ynot slow]

All I say is having all the threads with a common theme of Manawatu in same forum was easy to find,you knew where the rides were,crap etc.Now we have rides under events,crap under another forum.

I think I voted to keep it all together,maybe ride seperate,and just for rides would be ok.

Eventually the non used threads would disolve after unuse and the important threads would always be at the top of the forum,or am I wrong(again)with this.

Erm, I think it's fairly easy to talk crap without talking crap, if you follow me?

If not: as I see it, this forum is to talk about motorcycling, as it pertains to KBers in the Manawatu. One particular subset of that wide range of topics, planned rides, goes in another forum. I don't really think that eliminates all possible topics of conversation.

I've tried to illustrate that by example with the two threads I've started in the last fornight. The first, about buying a new bike, I figured was primarily of interest to the locals, so I posted it here. Plus I'd planned to deliberately be a bit of a tease prior to the BBQ. Mission accomplished.

The 2nd, about the chain et al, I could have posted in other places. I figured I'd post it here to start with because I was looking for local knowledge (along the lines of "hey horse I've seen good heavy-looking cheap chain at XXX on Blah St". Instead I got an even better offer from another local - thanks Bonez.

Now, when it comes to ride threads, if I start one I'm going to post about it in both forums with links in both directions, and I'm going to encourage the discussion to take place at this end. Not all of it will - BFD!

But at the end of the day, you can't fight the mods. You can try, but you'll always lose.

Your quite welcome Horse. Not surprised at all the other threads were shifted to PD.

As usual you're the a beacon of sanity in the Manawatu assylum.

Off to change my nappies now.

It sure is a pity. MT throwing lighning bolts around the MRF, ditching the number 1 crap thread, while leaving all the other crap. Good thing the ride thread wasn't here to be targeted eh!

Cuddles anyone?

[SixPackBack]

Where the fuck is manawatu anyways??

The fact that the Hawke's Bay chaps (and chapettes) also conduct their affairs with a degree of maturity may have something to do with it as well.
