Certian people can do as they please but what pisses me of is when some fuckin wannabe thinks hes a bike mechanic because he changed his spark plugs tries to tell me how to rebuild a bottom end.

Way too much preaching at RAT. Lots of folks talking about things they do not know much about.

I know That is pretty funny because the same guy the week before wanted to know
how to put air in his tires or what oil should I use.
He spends a couple of weeks on the forum and now he's a fucking professional mechanic.

A pm I finally recieved from Monte about the topic I started today...





[quote=mecscc]I hope you understand that we are trying to work out a balance here and that sometimes it won't always seem that way from any one individual's position. You are a respected and valuable member here and I take your concerns seriously. In the future when you feel we are going overboard, or astray, or however you feel, I would appreciate a PM instead of your posting it in the forums. If we can't work it out we can get Shawn involved. It won't generate as much dust and noise, but it might actually get serious attention on its merits.



Take care,[/quote]



And my reply......I thought the thread was getting serious attention...100+ views and 3 pages of responses with less than a handful in opposition to what was generally agreed upon by everyone else would seem to dictate that someone need's to look at what is going on.





1 individual sending you or any other mod a pm would be just that....the opinion of 1 individual.





The bottom line is, the damage here is done. No change at this point will bring it back to what it once was. People have been banned, suspended...or god knows whatever and have left this board for other forums.





A word from you when you seen the thread...either by pm or within that thread itself imo would have carried merit...rather than just deleting it.





I dont wanna turn this into a fuckin soap opera...or drag that shit over here and get everyone all wackt out. I'm just really disappointed in the direction that the board has taken over the past 8 months or so.....I'll leave this dead horse lie now.

Bill I know what your saying. I think that there are some good people over there. I wonder how many of them would do what you just did or take it to someone?

I couldnt take it anymore and started a thread today titled " Anyone noticed...." And then inside proceeded to make note of how much the forum had changed within the past say....4 months.


People came out of the woodwork agreeing...hell even Bonafide agreed with me on a +100...which suprised the hell outta me. We had a couple minor scuff's in the past there...no biggie.

100+ views and 3 pages later...with maybe 3 people in disagreement with the topic and the thread gets deleted.

Bonafide said it best..." asking a 70 year old preist to moderate a buncha tonup boys isnt going to work"


That may not be exact...but it's what it amounted too.


I added some stuff to that pm above..I also sent it back including both Shawn and Mare as well.

Well if you think that is bad read the horse shit Shawn posted to explain what has been going on it is about 500 words that doesn't say shit other then he is combining forums. Didnt address shit but did make the normal threat of I could turn it off at anytime again . I could give a shit about the site anymore in fact I took it off my addresss favorites. Mother made ya Mother you get the picture with out me even finishing the statement LOL>
