This is really simple, but for some reason a lot of folks here can't figure it out.

This might help:

Imagine CycleForums is a huge building, owned by Rezin. In that building, there are many public areas, and also some private apartments. The Sportbike/Northwest/Washington forum is an example of a public area, where everyone is welcome, visitors and residents alike.

The NSR forum is like a party at a private (NSR's) apartment.

It goes without saying that at a private party, one needs to show the hosts (and their other guests) at least a modicum of respect. If you show up to a party without an invitation, then insult the hosts, or pick fights, or complain, you are being rude.

If you don't like the party, leave -- it's not your party!

If you feel like you're not welcome there, perhaps you're not. Not everyone is welcome at a private party. Maybe it's time to leave, and go to a PUBLIC area, where you will feel more comfortable with "less restrictive" rules.

Also, please remember that even though some say "it's just the internet", that doesn't justify being an ass. Real people that you probably know, or will know, are reading your posts. A LOT of the stuff posted here would NEVER be said face-to-face, or even over the phone.

Is there any beer or hot bitches at these "NSR" parties? Cuz, if it's like any of those other parties I've heard about where it's guy on guy fondling and molesting, I want no part of it.

Hey Grant, nice analogy, but it still won't get through some of the rockheads here. It's never ending.

Thanks Eric. I don't think it has to be never-ending. Once it's widely known that this is NSR's PRIVATE party, and ill-behaving guests are tossed out on their ear, things will change. People can't wreck the party if they can't get in the door!

Now, who's gonna be NSR's bouncer? :laughing

 

[Hypnotiq]

Bouncers: I vote Snatch and Skeletor (Cary).

With bodies like they have...everyone should be skurrrrrrrred!

Good analogy.........................

NSR IS a private area. However it is not a closed area. We are currently addressing the current NSR situation, trying to find a good plan that will keep NSR a bit more drama-free

 

[R1ceRocket]

I think peoples' main gripe is the fact that NSR is not an "OFFICIAL" club with a secret handshake, dues, and all that bullshit.

WTF does it matter, anyhow? It's official enough for the handful of original members to know what it is and how it came about.

Good lord, I swear we go through this every year...
