Another idea. 3 Weeks, 2 Days ago  
I think the deletion of the Non-Motorcycle Topics and the Miscellaneous forum threads would go a long way towards any future arguments about God or Trump. We wouldn't have to endure anymore How Bob Replaced the Water Pump on his 1974 Ford Pick-up threads either. After all, it's a motorcycle site, right? Stick to the subject. Of course, the bikes don't often break, so if people only come here for tech, the census will be even lower than it is now. But, if that keeps people from getting their precious little feelings hurt, then it must be done. It's like those kid's baseball leagues where every kid gets a trophy win or lose. I get the feeling we have a few of those kids here. I don't buy the theory that a few bad apples ruined the site. The site is dying because the bikes died. Of course there will always be a handful of mavens struggling to "keep the dream alive", but that's the extent.

At least one of the Mods had the balls to call out the site-killing (in his opinion) perpetrator in open forum, and I applaud him for it. Right or wrong, at least he took a stand. This place was so vibrant, so alive before. We played games, had treasure hunts, and there was a general sense of camaraderie that made you want to come back for more. The thing is, even in the nastiest of debates, no one actually got hurt! It's just tiny little words on a computer screen guys. The epitome of a third world problem.

I dont mind the non mc or miss threads. I have the willpower to not reply if i dont like what i see. Lets face it, If you feel a certain way that i disagree with it still has no bearing on my life outside of that moment.

I 100% agree with Smokes. and What kind of treasure hunts, that sounds fun.

Re:Another idea. 3 Weeks, 2 Days ago  
A few years ago when I turned 60, started feeling like a dinosaur walking towards a tar pond. The only adventure that turns my crank is passing stuff on the highway and practicing police type skills in a parking lot.

Playing in bands is like joining a drama club with an extra slice of drama for dessert. That part of my life has fizzled out. Been there, done that.

With this forum, I have never been insulted, and if I was, I have forgotten due to a failing memory. the beauty of that is the ability to watch the same old reruns over and over and it is a new experience each and every time.

If this site closes that means more quality time to on the snowblower forum. I have 3 snowblowers, two of them are vintage (old). The other has a seized engine. I want to mod the 1969 MTD and Honda blower with bigger engines. I'll keep the 1992 Yamaha stock.

Maybe a non-motorcycle topic thread room would be an idea for those who go down the off-topic rabbit hole.

I never liked mixing my peas with french fries. When I eat steak, the only side dish I enjoy is another steak and a steak for dessert. Reading motorcycle posts is like eating steak. More is better.

I just fell asleep and dropped the laptop, twice. Back on topic, I enjoy the motorcycle topics as Pobasturd mentions.

If it is broke, fix it. If it is not, make it better!

I don,t like sand in my vagina,s and I love a good vagina now and then but it never stopped the forum from functioning, the key was that we have sensible moderators for the most part that realize censorship is a rabbit hole best left alone for the most part.
