Cleaning up of ride / bike night / other event threads

Post by sckego » Thu Apr 22, 2010 11:48 am

All,

I know that a lot of you enjoy the post-whoring, thread-jacking, random nature of our messageboards, and it does make for some pretty interesting reading. However, it can make it difficult to go through some of our events threads and figure out what is going on, who is attending, etc, when it is full of off-topic discussions and series of posts of nothing but " :SideSplittingLaughter: :SideSplittingLaughter: :SideSplittingLaughter: ". The mod group has decided that we are going to try to keep certain threads clean of extraneous posts, such as bike night threads, upcoming rides, trackdays, etc. We aren't asking anybody to change their posting habits too much; just make an attempt to keep these threads on-topic and relatively clear. If a thread does start to get cluttered up, the mods will be splitting out or deleting the off-topic/non-contributing posts without warning. No hard feelings or anything if this happens; we just don't want people to start wondering why some of their posts are dissapearing.

As far as most of the threads in general discussion, movie posts, etc., business as usual. Whore it up and jack away. wait, that came out wrong... :))

I'm ressurrecting this thread. We have started hijacking almost every thread again, so please try to keep the Rides/Events threads on topic.

Thank you.

Just a bump as a reminder. It's been a few years, and we have been up and down lately on hijacking ride threads. Let's keep them on-topic please!
