If you have a problem with someone's post and it does not involve content but rather context, please conduct your discussion by PM, and not trash up this board. Rezin is working hard to keep information useful and on topic. Let's not "SBN" this board.

I'm staying with Rezin.

Have you checked the general forum? its too late....

Larry

I see what you mean. However the title is not very specific about staying with only cycle issues.

We can at least try to keep DC Area Riders free from that kind of trash. I really don't want to go back to SBN and I would not care to read five or six boards to get local information.

I hate to say this, Bill, but to get exactly what you want, start your own board. You're stuck with the personalities of the folks in this area, and not everyone is interested in a forum that is for discussing local rides ONLY. Send a PM to Rezin and ask him to start a "usroadscholar's rides and nothing but rides" forum or throw up a cheapo message board at www.usroadscholardoesnotwanttodiscussanythingbutrides.com and you'll be golden. Good luck in either venture.

On occassion, I reply to a thread that really should be elsewhere, like "My Kawasaki won't start," because there are dedicated forums for Kawis and tech questions, and limiting the question to the DC area is kind of silly. But pointless threads that are only of interest to the DC area, such as "Barry is gay" really wouldn't go anywhere in Open Forums, so they're better discussed in here.

Good to see you back OWK

I just wanted to second O.W. Kenobi's observation. I'd simply suggest titling threads with appropriate topics, such as "Skyline Drive ride on 10/10/02." Then only check those threads that pique your interest.

Also, please try to keep any sbn bashing to a minimum… Bad Karma and all…

I'll ask, but from your post I assume that there is about ZERO chance of getting a "DC Area Rides" sub-forum.

I suggest that if SBN sucked, it was due to the people who frequented it, not Fred or any moderator. The reality is that if you think SBN sucked, expect cycleforums.com to suck too...

Dude - you read my mind. Although I think SBN tanked for multiple reasons, one of which being the webmaster. The other reason was that it swelled out of control and turned into a garbage dump. But since most of those folks migrated over here, I predict that the same problems will exist. I'm spending most of my time on .ws now, but I'll probably check in here for the DC stuff, as the DC forum over on .ws isn't too active just yet.

Hey, I can always pass along the suggestion. As an interim step, I'll try to sticky any appropriately titled threads for upcoming rides.

why all the negativity

guys i'm sure were gonna get sub state forums here as well...sbn was great and you know you loved it....and cycleforums is the bomb now as well...sbn is open again but its dead! everyone is migrating over here!:rolleyes
