There does seem to be a fair bit of cliquiness and bitching going on of late.  Sad really, but wft?

It seems the few are spoiling it for the many.

  its all to fùck...................

and its turned into a place,that if your not a regular and you post something up it gets the pìss ripped out of it.as i  have said before how many people are still here from 3years ago and post regular,i can probs count them on 2 hands... .......used to be a damn site more than that.

I know people come and go over the years, BUT WHY, stand back and take a look.. .....its not coz they brake the rules(ok some do)but most of them dont... ....
Its coz of the power happy mods(not all of them)and the my dads bigger than your dad stereotypes.

I couldnt give a flying fùck,wether anyone takes notice of what i post or not its a forum for having a laugh and meeting new people(trackdays dont float my boat)id rather spend my money on my kids and family but i dont harp on about it...............if you want to do trackdays crack on fairplay(dont outcast people for not doing them)were all bike riders from different backgrounds,and different tastes lets get on as one group and stop all this cliquey,nanny state bollox.

Peaks and troughs.


If 50% of a forum decide to take up trackdays or racing then naturally that's going to be the focus of their attention.

At times I log on here,click unread posts and see absolutely nothing of interest to ME.

Does that mean this place has suddenly become shìt?

I don't think so.

Quiet perhaps (and less interesting at times) but that's the way of fora and the way of SBf over the years.


Yes,a lot of long-term members have left for various reasons.

Some I miss,some I didn't even realise were gone and others positively cheered me up with their sharp exits.

A few deserved to be booted for causing nothing but upset and bullshit.

A few have left for (what I believe to be) silly reasons but we're all adults and we can make our own decisions.


If there are issues on here I have no problem discussing them.


What we need to do is focus on what everyone wants from this place.

We have members from all backgrounds,all walks of life and all parts of the country (I suppose that's the beauty of 'biking') - obviously we aren't all going to get along all of the time but a little common respect goes a long way.



Good bit of advice I was given some years ago:

Too quiet for you?
Then say something.

Nothing nice to say?
Then say nothing.

Chris have a look at the first posts of this thread and maybe you will see where I'm coming from

Nobody can criticize this forum without people getting personnel.The fact is this site is not half of what it was in any area (trackdays aside) than 2 or 3 years ago,this used to be a fun place to be and there was plenty of banter and laughs,now its depressing,the treatment certain people on here get is shameful,whatever happened to attack the post not the poster some people on here think they can say what they like about anyone/have an idea what there like without even meeting them face to face,its easy being a keyboard warrior.I have met loads of people of this site at various rideouts and got on well with most of them and had some right laughs along the way both in the flesh and on here,i don't know whats happened on here,but we have lost loads of good posters over the last year or so for one reason or another and it needs to stop

Some of you will say well just pìss of then,i have thought about it alot recently,i have been a member on here since almost the very start and it would be a wrench to go,i do care for it believe it or not   Legzr says peaks and troughs  got to ask when was the last peak a long time ago my friend

its not so much quiet though legz.its the bitchiness that really boils my pìss,I used to be on here everyday when it first started about 3-4 years ago.........don't bother much now as theres too many people with too much to say about themselves(think there better than other people)

We have members from all backgrounds,all walks of life and all parts of the country (I suppose that's the beauty of 'biking') - obviously we aren't all going to get along all of the time but a little common respect goes a long way.

yeah and thats the problem with alot of the posts............no respect for the poster.just rip the post to bits.

hate to say it but this site will lose alot more people over the coming year unless its addressed in the proper manner..........PEOPLE NEED TO GET OF THERE HIGH HORSES AND KEEP TO A TOPIC, NOT RIP IT TO shìt

[rotax81]

there are people on here that continually rip posts apart, especially newbie posts, it hasnt gone un noticed 
us as mods and managers are limited to what we can do but are continually looking into the 'problems' looking for the root cause.

its not easy as rules is rules

   It ain't just newbie posts, Tony.
