If you have a problem with something or someone, deal wit it. its real easy.

If something about the site pisses you off, let everyone know.

If some one on the site pisses you off, let them know directly.
Let it all out.. who gives a phark!!

Enough of this melrose place bullshit :roll:

Thanks to this forum, i"ve met some really nice people and shared many stories and years of knowledge.
You honestly wont get so many people with such great senses of humor all in one place.
Sure, there"s always going to be an idiot here and there, i do my best to ignore them, but if it gets out of hand, simply tell em to fark off!!!

Life is simply too short for this bullshit, honestly. This is school boy stuff.

This is a public forum and your going to get a huge mix of people, and yes some of them will be little immature, inbred, mentally ill, wankers, thats life. ;)

Finally, Dave and the crew, thanks for all the hard work and dedication towards the site, keep up he good work


I'm with SoundGuy all the way :lol: :lol:

Don't change a thing, this is an OPEN FORUM (one of the better ones around), I think change could possibly be more harmful than good because this place is constantly evolving & will continue to do so in its own way :D so let it.

I can only speak for myself but I've stuck here for a few years now because it is what it is and 99% of the people here are cool. The 1% of knobheads get pissed on or exposed as dickheads and disappear (you still here Kishy????).

I say leave it :D

If you change too much you wont be KSRC! :cry: Familiarity breeds contempt, and absence makes the heart grow fonder. I notice that people come back after a dummy spit. I personally think the judgement and balance is cool, and core membership are fuckin gold online and in person and have no issues with the admin whatso ever.
The medium this community uses (internet) aint perfect and never will be. This forum seems to work better than others I have seen. If bods want something different its all out there at a click of a mouse please dont try to be right for everyone if they are bored they should go for a goodride and come back and tell all. or find a donut.

I also chat on a US-based forum. It was huge and almost impossible to keep up with all of the threads.

Then they sold out to a corporate mob who introduced banner ad's and changed the whole look of the board. Today, it's a ghost town, kept alive by a handful of people. The main bulk of members have deserted it.

IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT!

Dave,

The forum is made up from members, and its what those members do/say that makes a forum worth while or not. No "re-programming" of the site is gonna change that .. in fact, the more restrictive, the less appealing its gonna be.

From a newbies point of view, I think its the ants pants :D ... Ive learnt so much, and love the fact that so many people here are willing to share their experiences with anyone who asks.

Also, with 2000 odd members all thrown into the ring, theres always gonna be a bit of conflict, especially by those who have been here a long time and know which hot buttons to push .. personally, I find alot of the banter quite funny!

Soooooooo ... leave it the way it is, and Im sure most here will agree with me too.

What sorts of changes are you referring to Dave? Structuring of the content or more of a look and feel type of change?

Yeah, leave it as is, I would hate to see this site have advertising to the point of having banners :roll: or changing away from how it is, yes some older members have dissapeared but I bet they still have a look every now and then, newbies will adapt if they like the general way of things IMO

Personally I don't post much anymore as I am not the chatty type online and my attempted wit gets lost through the keyboard especially now that I don't drink 'n' post :P Prefer to just read mostly.

I appreciate everyone’s input good or bad, this forum is based on Kawasaki’s and all things related to riding, it is even ok to own a Hoonda or a Yamaha let alone dare I mention it, a Suzuki ffs and still be a part of this forum :lol:

One thing that makes this place so great is the way that members here will go out of their way to help, I could almost guarantee that there would be many members in every state that would put you up for the night/s as you pass through and they do it without having previously met you before. :D
More than likely that night would turn out to have many other local members in attendance to meet you, give you a hangover from hell, ride you out of town (in a good way) and be a night to remember 8)
The wealth knowledge of all things technical is fantastic, even if it means many phone calls or sending manuals or parts it happens. That to me says volumes about us! ;)

The antics of some are hilariously funny, some of the human tragedy stories here also are equally important to all of us to know that the support of members is there and we are really a caring bunch. It is a reflection of the admins and owner that this takes place, the lack of use by the "big stick" is also good as we can sort it out by ourselves as a community. After all it is about the feeling we get riding a motorcycle, how we get there, and being with like minded people.

Anyway, enough of the soft warm and fuzzy shite, HTFU, leave it as is, get on with it, if you don’t like it go and join a knitting club. :twisted:
