This Forum (Manawatu) is being deleted on next upgrade

[chanceyy]

chanceyy gave us the heads up on this the other day. She said with all the personal attacks (which were all deemed to be misunderstandings) all the SG forums will be wiped.

I believe I also mentioned the "bugs & issues" caused by the social groups as part of the reasons behind the removal of the social groups.

I swear you guys ONLY JUST got enough people to make your own forum and now they are shutting it down. Sucks eh, i even joined up so you could make your own forum and i havn't even met you lot yet.

Ahwell.

so...where does that leave us? homeless, or are we just being moved along?

Kiwikat - Obviously there's no vindictiveness in this. I thought the Forum had sorted itself out nicely.

Mr KiwiKat....What you have posted, was ment for you eyes only and probably not the smartest move posting it in this thread.

Kiwikat - Obviously there's no vindictiveness in this. I thought the Forum had sorted itself out nicely.

Then why post it in two seperate threads?

[KiwiKat]

Thanks for the comments Maha.

Sometimes topical things need to be discussed. Honest reasons should be given for actions taken. Hopefully the good that has come out of the forum will be recognised. It's definately been a plus for Manawatu Riders.

Smart is is subjective term.

Let me just say this clearly, and for the record:

For Fuck's Sake!

The owners of the site, are of course free to do whatever the hell they want. That includes standing by people playing out petty vendettas in their roles as mods[1]. From my 19 years of participating in various online communities on the Internet, one thing I know that is 99% of people are simple-minded sheep who really don't give a flying wotsit and will just go with the flow no matter how much you screw them around, so I don't anticipate any great revolution of the people. But this is completely fucking amateur hour.

[1] I'm saying this in direct response to "With a group that has caused such a big problem Spank has said fuck em and turned off the mod." That's BS and many people know it.

[Dak]

I'm with him ^^^^

[Dani-D]

The first twilight ride is going to be SO colourful!

[yod]

meh

my whole standpoint from the start was pretty much; what's the difference either way

I really am not concerned in the slightest that I'm no longer a mod

if the standard of debate in the MRF is some sort of 'fuck-em' benchmark, half the threads on the site should probably be deleted

[KiwiKat]

Where do we post now?

I believe I also mentioned the "bugs & issues" caused by the social groups as part of the reasons behind the removal of the social groups.

What bugs? I'm sure we're well aware by now of the issues and the pettyness of them. And what were the other reasons prey tell?

Im with you horse i,ve had a fucken guts full. We are obviously supposed to say nothing that upsets anyone and some of the mods seem to be on a power trip
I though KB was the best thing to happen to the biking comunity for a very long time but it seem like nothing has changed since bloody school, the bloody whiners whine loud enough to get thier own way. Lets hope they are all happy

Amazing really. People have no idea of the repercussions of their actions. Give them a little freedom to move and they prove it was a bad idea. Then wonder why the whole thing gets canned. So it's back to the status quo and having the rule book waved around.

We trusted a group of people to act like they're grown ups but that didn't happen. So the entire thing is being canned even though the mess is cleaned up and sorted out. Unfortunately it's too late, the damage was done. That sort of trust and respect will no longer be given to any group in that manner again. Ruined it for the lot.

Social Group Forums experiment 0-1 Failure

So why didnt the mods take out some of the offensive posts and put them in PD like they do in the main forum, Works there.
Thought this was sorted anyway, obvoiusly someone still very unhappy
