• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Peeve I have about replies to questions

Good plan for you but for me.....

LoL,.. glad it was taken in stride as no individual was being targeted in my peeve, lol. I suppose it depends on the question to a degree but I try to phrase them to make them as clear as possible and I have seen some new members ask some good questions that never seem to get answered completely. Some of the members blow me away with their knowledge and experience that is why I am always eager to ask and learn.

:)

I have a full time job controlling ME...trying to control what others think, say, post or do..not in my job description. :clap:
 
Don't care...!!

I don't have a problem with it at all..but then I realize this is not a tech line..we are just like a party of fun folks and you pick the conversation you want to participate in. The good thing is you get the answers and if you are in a real hurry...go to the dealer or brp directly...:roflblack:

What is the responce time here including usless information..?? About 2minutes...:roflblack:
 
And there in lies the problem.

Exactly, posts for the sake of posting...you hit it on the head. There is a room here for useless chatter, I wish it could just stay in there. The problem is that people ask serious questions and 20 tard-ed answers later it receives one serious answer.


There seem to be several who's goal is to increase their post count so they usually pop in saying they don't know but someone else will answer it.


Guess that's ok, but I generally skip over them without giving them any attention. Just ignore them.

Life's too short. Take a deep breath. Relax and smell the roses.

This was old when I posted it in the Joke thread, but I think it's more relevant here:

HOW MANY GROUP POSTERS DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A LIGHT BULB?

1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed

14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently

7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs

27 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs

53 to flame the spell checkers

41 to correct spelling/grammar flames

6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ...

another 6 to condemn those 6 as anal-retentive

2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"

15 know-it-alls who claim *they* were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct

156 to email the participant's ISPs complaining that they are in violation of their "acceptable use policy"
109 to post that this group is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb group

203 to demand that cross posting to hardware forum, off-topic forum, and lightbulb group about changing light bulbs be stopped

111 to defend the posting to this group saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts *are* relevant to this group

306 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty

27 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs

14 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's

3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group

33 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"

12 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy

19 to quote the "Me too's" to say "Me three"

4 to suggest that posters request the light bulb FAQ

44 to ask what is a "FAQ"

4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"

143 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"

1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again....
 
"then join them"

Well based on the comments I can see it must be ingrained in our DNA lol. On the bright side I hope to order a new 14' limited edition soon so maybe I will not have as questions in the future :D. And, I will try to untwist my DNA a bit so I can partake in others threads and add useless commentary, lol

Looking forward to an interesting New Year :rolleyes:
