Project bikes section?

[skidMark]

Current blog software is crap. New one is much better. Wait for the upgrade.

Okay blogging a project, that covers perhaps a personal covering off it, but it would be good to have discussion input, stuff easily accessible its not the same, even if the blog is updated to the better version, we have a forum for everything else right down to mini motos buckets....everything covered.

Just wondering why you are so intent on making it a blog.

I really can't be fucked making my own forum, nor have the funding to do it.

You his bitch or something?

The sometimes the squeaky door gets the oil... if he's anything like me, it'll just getting a fucking axe taken to it.

Perhaps the new software will cover those possibilities... Why don't you do something constructive like visiting the vBulletin developer forums and have a look for yourself?

In a blog you have control.

• You can customize the look just like profile pages.
• You have control over the comments made and who can make them.
• Entries can be categorized.
• In a thread your posts are mixed in with everyone else’s. A blog displays all your entries with a link to the comments others and yourself have made.
• blogs will be full searchable

A blog will stand out more than a single thread in a mass of threads.

Nah fuckit, spanks obviously adement.

i just think its stupid to make a forum for the people, then not take on board what they want, it is counter productive.

I didn't realise that blogs aren't searchable... that pretty much knackers that as a practical alternative.

I think I may be wrong about that. It looks as if they are searchable, its rather weird because it SHOWS you the ordinary forums but searches blogs!.

That would be nice... that's the one area that using threads for projects falls down.

[skidMark]

Is there any way a subforum can be made with threads in it that only link to project bike blogs?

to seperate those blogs from all the rest? bah ive never used blogs, sounds like too much fucking about.

You better bow down... he's been very generous to you. I would've just pushed the delete button on your account and not thought any more about it.

Okay spank meet ya in the middle, can you please make a project bikes section under blogs? i just went to make a blog but it only gives me the usual forums sport/road bikes etc.....

can you make a section in blogs for project bikes?

that is all i ask then, since you seem so adement on blogs,

so just a section for project bikes under blogging please.

[skidMark]

Thee is now a Project bikes section under blogging, chees spank.

So after some searching I managed to find the Project section in blogging. But what happens when you have already started a blog? Can I then start a new blog for each of my projects if I want to? Or will all new entries be added to my current rambling?

I can see that this has become a "I said no and so I will not change my mind as I would look like a dork" situation.

Or perhaps there would be a chance that many of the ones with more knowledge suddenly would only care about the "Project Bike" section, and that is the reasoning behind the "NO!"?

Personally I would have no problem with any commenst a thread of mine re a project would get. Why should I? Free country.

I just can't see the logic behind the decision to be against a sub forum for Project Bikes. Perhaps I should get drunk and it would make sense.

I've put a vote in in favour of such a forum, even as a sub forum of General maintenance... That would put it off the main forum listing, so expansion of the current forum listing would be limited. As far as the blogs go, it is a much more cumbersome system to use and view, even with updates the format isnt going to beat a subforum for ease of use.

Not only that, but as has been mentioned, sources for parts etc cant just be listed in a thread, and as with all blogs, its primarily for a person to express their opinion and progress, but not as a path by which they can seek advice and discussion on the topic at hand (This is where a thread wins hands down, it takes only a glance at this thread to see how this is so: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ect+Kro&page=2 )
I notice how the Motards forum has come about, if there is enough support could a Project forum not rise from the ashes?

Edit: Alternatively, Dirt bike projects could go to the dirt forum, Sports to the sports forum... and the parts source in the General maintenance... thus keeping the same layout while if you're interested in them, you can find them where you'll be looking already... For some reason i like this better.
