Apart from regular pruning of posts that were weeks old and had not been responded to (this is considered a normal activity by web site administrators), other posts of an irrelevant and damaging nature were hastily "cleaned up" without the "group vote" as I guess should have happened.
I guess that it was a good will gesture to the administrators of the other board, hopefully in return for similar "censorship", yes "censorship" if you like to call it that. I hope that everyone can return to the main reason for having these clubs/discussion boards, which is to benefit from the enjoyment, knowledge and satisfaction of riding a Hayabusa (regardless of which club/discussion board you choose to ride/post in).
I have endeavoured to make sure the new board does not deteriorate into the in-fighting, heel snapping and generally unpleasant environment that the original board has unfortunately become…with difficulty.
I’m so sick of hearing and reading about Les’ incessant obsessive ramblings about Pete (as I’m sure you are too). Les can babble away as much as he wants about me, as I really do not care what he thinks. One thing for sure is that this crap is wrecking both boards. This nonsense really needs to stop, as the "discussions" are detracting away from the main focus (which was something about motorcycles I think). Some people are becoming far to touchy and others are only posting for one reason which is to destroy the livelihood of certain people (no points for guessing who). What is this, Hells Angels and Bandidos?????
To those who are hell bent on filling both boards with total bullshit, it's really quite easy starting your own discussion board. Please do it and don't waste time posting here (you know who you are).
It's a matter of drawing a line between the ridiculous and reality. I guess that I should have consulted with the other founding members on this, but I fear that no progress would have been made.
To those who have a problem with what I have done or find it unacceptable, let me know as I am a bee's dick away from throwing in the towel. I have no problem at all in "resigning" from my role and letting everyone else to run the site. Any continued interest and participation in either group has become difficult to say the least.
Disheartened,
