Just a test....my theory was right.....

[Ryan8R]

Hey...my last post as you all know got lots of attention...it was..."I have a dream.." ya know how could you forget that one. I did that for one reason....i mean really...so many of you jump down peopls throats for "stupid threads" and things like that. Its like yaw all think this is your life..it kills me really... I just think some of ou with the "thats friggin stupid" comments need to chill and realize this is the open forumm..nuff said..outta here...later

Your not completely right or competely wrong, but the one thing that gets overlooked is that this is a QUAD realted site and the majority of people come here to discuss QUAD related topics.

Now the times when there are more BS open forum threads than QUAD based ones anyone could understand how this would upset someone who is here for information on QUADS and not who farted in school today or got dumped by their GF etc.

So for me at least the whole idea behind the open forum is to post threads and stories that dont fit the normal mechanical or suspension or trail ride etc but that are still QUAD related. Things like ride area closures, problems with the local police, riding questios or anything else that some how comes close to fitting the basic idea of the site.

The majority of the open forum threads would be more appropriate for psychobabble.com

Open forum, off-topic posting allowed.

True that, but he commented about people jumping down his throat for "stupid threads" and now you can do the math. :D

this is a bit hypocritical. Why do you care so much then???

Its really very simple, People need to read and follow the rules at the bottom of the page. I know most people hate rules, but they are there for a reason. If a person cant follow them, they will not be around here for long .

It's just like a newpaper, they don't really print the truth, they print what people want to read.

Topics that are not quad-related still get alot of attention. If they get attention and responses, then obviously people are interested in them. So now you want to close down things that people are interested in, just to suit you?

Heck, I hardly ever read the "Where to ride" section, or "Freestyle Riding" section, or the "Maintenance" section, so we should close those down simply because I am not interested in them. Doesn't it follow the same logic?

It's the Open Forum, post what you want. If you have a problem with that, don't come into the open forum. Stick with the other sections, they are always quad-related.

I agree 99%:p

I come here to learn and BS about quads. I don't mind the occasional off topic post, some are even quite good. It is when some people post chit that isn't even remotely quad related on a regular basis that gets irritating. It makes me wonder why they are here, for attention maybe?

lemme see.....

my take on alot of this stuff thats posted and obviously not quad related or even topical to the site is the power of people wanting to feel needed. most of the troublesome posts (even if they werent started for that reason) are simple one members way of trying to fit in. the majority of these members are 13 to 16 years old and havent learned the ability to properly communicate and or express themselves as themselves yet (damn)

so when the have something that happens in thier life that to us seems petty or not worth our time remeber that its important to them to a point. i agree that some posts are made out of sheer boredom and easily spotted...but its ironic that these posts get huge responses ...sometimes all good responses at that.

so when you see its a thread that you really dont want any part of...stay out of it. ahhhh....but you cant. constantly pushing the buttons in one form or another is your way of dealing with this in your own way.

dont take some of this stuff so seriously...you might actually smile once in awhile if you remeber back to when you were that age:)




ok...now get off my couch and pay the pretty lady at the door:devil:

Dont shoot the messenger. :)

I was just explaing the reality of it all.

Sure i am not a big fan of some of the seriously stupid stuff (monkeynuts and slapboy included :tired: ) but hey it seems to be fun for the feeble minded so it seems to be here to stay.

Now if anyone ever trys out my idea of having a quad related and non quad open forum that could help but what I hear from the members who seriously get upset by all the juvenile non related stuff is that there just not going to bother sifting thru the BS and just wount offer their experience and knowledge and this is the where we are the ones who loose.

Remember though there may be some big names and even some experienced people here lately (and I am glad they are here) many are really interested in advertizing and not completely unbiased etc.

So for me I would give up the gossip and BS for the knowledge of some of the older members who no longer post.

But hey thats me I am one out of many thousands and I even enjoy some of the off the wall threads, but I just wish they werent becoming the majority of the threads because it brings down the real value of the site to those who need help.
