Hi there,
I thought I would take the opportunity to reply to this thread, as I am one of the people who dont post on this forum much if at all.
I joined the busa forum in 2003, on the eziboard forum before it crashed and we moved. Back then there was a lot of constructive input, as well as some good friendly banter. There was always a good laugh between the states, and we rode our bikes.
NSW rode every last Sunday of the month!!!!
Then things changed. It was like people had bottled up their negative thoughts, and it all came out in one hit.
We also have posted events, and not had a single response, even though people view the thread. Even if it was to say thanks but no thanks at least you responded.
Now there is little added to the forum in the way of constructive articles, the most popular thread is the "freedom of speech" thread. I came to this country in 2002, got a job, and have never bludged on society in this country, yet some would hate me for my country of birth.
So until we take this forum back to what it used to be, I'm happy not to post anything on this forum at all. For those of you who have PM'd me for help, I am happy to continue to provide assistance to fellow motorcycle riders.
And in closing, not all forums are like this, some are really good, some are vertical and breathing, and some are in the place that we are now, at a crossroads where we either turn it around or shut it down.
