To The Mods/Red Hot Sloth

It's just hard sometimes for new members to understand when we first joined this site was ALL about mountainbiking and things on wheels!! YES good stuff. You'll notice many of the founding members have stopped posting out of frustration. I remember way less than 100 posts a day able to read every one. A great site for learning. The past year or so it's taken a turn that makes it hard to get to the good stuff with all the unrelated posts/threads. Not flaming just explaining how I know many feel about so many random posts a day makes it hard to find the bike related stuff we're here for.
PEACE

Not picking on you Danny at all we all do it just opening up some discussion for what we'd like to see STR really be?

 

How about locking this thread....for real.

 

Dude in closing, those who know me, my intentions are all good, I just like to talk to people and love to ride.My intentions were never to annoy anyone, but I guess I have.So on that note if I did any harm I apologize.

 

If your post has nothing to do with bikes, DONT POST IT.
(or post your stuff in the pub)

Its very fustrasting for people trying to read threads their interested in and having to deal with a ton a off topic posts that most of the time make no sense to them because they dont know the people or they are inside jokes.
(run on sentence, but I hope people agree with me)



One thing I don't get, is how to do people have time in the day to post BS stuff like you tube videos and jokes all day long. GO RIDE.

 

Its not even like that :?:

Just tone it down a bit like i tried to do..
Im sure your an awesome person face to face, its a wonder what the internet cant do eh?
Just everytime before you hit reply, ask yourself

• is it necessary?
• can it help anyone out?
• Does it express emotion towards something, or an opinion?

I say you keep posting though, on a toned down level
besides, middle of the day posts?
Dont you have a job?

 

I don't see anything wrong with sharing a funny joke you get in an email on here.

At any rate, some day you too will have a desk job and you'll understand that you can't "go ride" whenever you want :lol:

 

Well you could, you just wouldn't have that desk job when you got back to work

 

These two threads suck...

It seems they are such a waste of time, but we still read and respond to them, and complain about something or whine about another thing. :?:

 

ecept usually things get posted and nothing happens except poeple lose out on good info.
This way at least, the people who input ideas, and take time to reply to this "stupid" post, there will hopefully be "justice" at the end.
Meaning we're all happy and nobody is harmed :lol:

 

What's with all the censure?

There's only SO MUCH to talk about as far as bikes are concerned...

 

This whole time I thought I was the only one who thought that.

I agree with brandon. There's more non bike related threads than bike related. Kind of odd for a bike forum. Brandons idea would help out for those who are just looking for bike info. The non related bike stuff is cool, but not something I come to these forums for.

 

bh8, its not that you are doing harm, but you are flooding the pub with pointless stuff....im sure i speak for most when i say i enjoy the RR's you post, just the other stuff i'd say its probably better to cool out on posting...

 

where is this said post of one soiling one's trouser?

I dont mind danny that you post no sequitur things i simply skim it and move on. no biggie. I know being single and having nothing else to do at night can create some challenges so you turn to your online family and post irrelevant things that you would probably bring up with a buddy(ies) at a bar or hanging out. I figure once you get settled with your family situation you wont be doing this so much (posting that is)

 

A big hug for Danny BIGHIT!:?: It's not just you. Its me and everyone who posts before thinking. I do it too. Don't worry about it. I think we are all thinking out loud and its getting diverted into your direction. It's not you alone though.
I think we all get exited and post up things that interest us that might be lame to others and unrelated to mtn biking.

I do think we need a place to put the random posts that really have nothing to do with anything.

 

Ok I will say this, i find it hard to believe that people who complain about what I post even waste there breath on me.If you see a post by BIGHIT skip over it.Why do you feel it necessary to spend the time to bash me.I have never done anything wrong to anyone here. This is a "public forum" that has to do with bikes. So from now on when somebody tells me they had a baby, ill just say "dude" do you think I care. Nice Turner!My dad crashed and broke his face, "I dont care", nice hubs!My mom just died," who cares" did you get that single speed yet? Sorry, just saying.

 

I only rode with him once but Red Hot Sloth is a good dude.

 

Right back at ya :wave:

 

nm

done with this.

 

Not that anyone cares what I "say" (most don't) but, post away B-hit. As long as you are not posting offesive material they should not be offended by your post count.

I think I will go flood the newbs with a bunch of thanks now!

 

Is it just me or this this thread contradicting the message it was intended to convey? I kinda don't understand what's trying to be said here. If we knew each other in person would we be expected to edit ourselves during conversation? Community should embrace individual personality and character. So long as no one's being a jerk let them speak as they please.
