[QUOTE="James, post: 11763, member: 2"] Bluntly? Because this is the General section and not the Off-Topic. This hijacking/off-topic needs to be cut back in the General & Make/Model Specific sections. Why you ask? Well these 2 sections are the future of this forum, think about it. Somebody is truly looking for "rear racks for bikes" and finds a couple good posts, but then the thread goes to the way of slow dancing. Another example would be the "What Are Some Ways to Strengthen Bones?" thread which started out great as I did get some info from it, but then it turned into a discussion about another type of "bone". Do you seriously think that they'll want to stick around if every thread gets way off-topic from the original question? We're a pretty close nit group of riders, which is awesome, but with all the "hijacking" that's going it creates an environment that isn't very new member friendly. And we need new active members badly. I try to keep this site less about numbers/revenue and more about creating a place that's fun and relaxing, but I can't keep on floating this out of my own pocket. Somebody had recently asked (don't remember who) if I was a loaded mofo. :lol: oh buddy if that were only true. Gotta say it'd be nice if the whole :cripple: thing hadn't happen, that set me/DBA back a chunk. (I thank God everyday that it was only my collarbone and not my neck :thumb:) Basically we need more new active members because I can't keep on supporting this place myself. I apologize for that long :rant: (been having a bad day) I also apologize for making that excuse and for hijacking this thread, so I'm a hypocrite, sue me. :P Rez I did quote you but don't feel like this is directed at you. :hug: :wave: Good day & I'm late for PT :bonk: [/QUOTE]
