Okay friends, I am putting my Saki down for an actual serious moment.
I was on another site last night and someone had posted about how that site needed to bring some class back to it's forums. He felt that things were deteriorating to where people kept getting flamed, people were posting stupid things, and threads were getting unceremoniuosly jacked.
I posted a sale of a tail piece there last night and not only got stupidly jacked, but also flamed for no apparent reason.
I am coming to realize something about this site - even though relatively new - that I also noticed on motorush (sorry to mention it jetblast).
Firstly - A LOT of the people that were on motorush are on here now. Most of the people on here are actually people I would call friends - strange as it sounds. I have met a lot of the members who are here today, or have at least spoken with them - one on one.
There are very knowledgeable people here too - moto(Believe it or not), sporty, LDH, Clear-a-path, jetblast, evad, etc. etc. etc. Sorry if I did not mention your name - too many to list.
Anyway, no matter how we joke around or sling barbs at each other, I think we still maintain a good sense of humour and mutual respect for it other.
What is the point of this thread?
Well, it is to say that I hope as we DO GROW (Last thread), that we will maintain our integrity and mutual respect for each other as individuals.
1: If a newbie asks a "dumb" question, don't just flame them or say "Search asshat", actually direct them with a link or something.
2: If someone is posting about something, don't just jack it, ask to be part of it if it's to save on threads.
3: Don't post about how you broke the law by doing 180 MPH on a street, etc.
Things like that.....
Your thoughts guys. I am sorry, but what was said on that other site actually bothered me :thumbdown: . Can you imagine me having a sober moment ?!?!
