The quickest way to kill a fledging forum...

[Peters]

... is to talk religion or politics. I have my personal views on both but there are other forums for that.  It would be nice to keep this forum about Kymco scooters.

Hold on, let me get this straight. You're complaining about posting stupid threads? 

If we can't get on here and learn from each other and have a little fun doing it, what's the point? If the forum was all technical talk it would be boring as hell and the people that are pretty much experts on these things would have no reason to get on here.

I don't care to read about religion or politics either, even so, sometimes the thread is entertaining. You don't have to click and read it!!!

You've officially brought everybody on here, but you, to a consensus. That's rare. Good job!

Too bad you did not stick to Grand Dink, you sound like one.

There is something to be said for keeping a thread on topic, if people are going to sidetrack the thread just beacuse they don't care to comment on the OP then it detracts from the forum as a whole. Nothing wrong with an offhanded comment but things here seem to get very carried away at times. I imagine that the OP feels he/she wants their points addressed without the sidetracking.

its easily done though, all it takes is for one person to mention summit and the topic is taken completly off course. usually happens after the person has had there question awnsered. i would name a couple of people who side track threds myself included. we all just wanna have fun, theres no point in being serious 24-7 that kills the forum let alone the thread. i welcome people to have a joke because it shows we aint obsessed with the machines in which this forum was made, yea we will awnser and help with any question you have but you cant expect us to be really anal and not expect us to have a little fun now and again.

Nobody has to read anything , If a thread goes astray or irritates anyone they can just quit reading it . Easy peasy . Now if I can only remember to heed my own advice........

Agreed but if the OP is not answered then the OP has wasted their time and the forum will sooner or later lose that member. Jokes associated with the question seem reasonable jokes that just go off and take the thread on a whole new road I think are wrong. The OP, whoever that may be is asking for answers to questions important to he/she. Now if you think the OP is a troll that's another story.

..yes, i agree that sometimes we drift...

..but, it IS how we roll...grow accustomed to it if you plan on hanging out with us...   

..sometimes, this forum is as much of a social network as it is an informative, endless well of knowledge...

..btw, 080...do you even own a scooter?


..wanna talk about it??

[whiteknight]

Very true, kicks f.b's ass anyday. Love it as it is.

Generally questions get answered and opinions are given to posts, then it moves on and evolves into something else entirely. No bad thing. Imagine you were at a diner meet or car park meet talking with other scooter guys about scooter problems or scooter related things, hell even just talking sh**. Someone asks a question about pistons,they all talk about it for a bit then someone say "Damn,remember that time Johnny threw a piston at 120mph".The conversation moves that way for a while and onto other things no-one would ever say "STOP!! Listen guys we are discussing MY piston problem.Please stop telling stories and get back on topic".Wouldnt happen.

..btw, 080...do you even own a scooter?

 

Here we go again
