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.

Wow...I guess I really have not been around here much these days. Bob, did not realize you were Spyderless nor that you no longer were riding. Sorry to hear that you are moving on and I hope that all is well. You have a been a constant here since my wife first was considering a Spyder and I landed here.

Is bob leaving? NOT! He will never leave until his posts reach 100,000. He already has 92,000. Bob is not a quitter.
The real story is Bob bought a Tiffin Wayfarer Motorhome and is active on that forum and is starting to get blisters on his tiny little fingers from all the posts he does. So he has to cut back somewhere but I grant you Bob is not gone. If he truly left there would be a big void in this forum and all the Ryker lovers would dominate our posts and we would all not come back. Besides where else would we see so much tasteful humor and a more resourceful individual that can find the funniest things that always make me laugh and cheer me up.

The post count has come up a couple of times, so I guess I should address that...
It was never about the post count: that just sort of happened... :dontknow:
I was just trying to "liven the place up".
When I first joined: this Forum was rife with discussion about DPS failures, hot right legs, and fuel vapors...
Nobody seemed to talk about themselves a bit.
I came out of an ATV forum that had about 10,000 of the closest friends you ever saw. Every Day was a bit like an Offiuce Christmnas Party: folks argued about modifications being made to their bikes, tire pressures... :shocked:, tire brands... oil, helmets,
(Sound familiar???), and anything else to do with riding a Yamaha Grizzly.
But it was a self-correcting place. nojoke If a couple of folks got a bet too testy: others would jump in an remind everyone that we were all on the same team, and It was all supposed to be fun.
The Moderators were non-existent, and never seen... Okay: the jokes would stray a bit closer "to the edge"; but nobody ever posted anything that would actually be considered to be out of bounds... (Nudity, pornography, etc...) A couple of jokes landed that were pretty darn racist; they were quickly deleted...
(But there WAS that "Just Three Words" game, that went on for years... :roflblack
But we could argue about how our rides were modified, the type of riding we enjoyed the most, the best destinations for riding... it wasn't a bit different than what we have here...
So I got "Chatty" VERY chatty!
And back in 2010: this place felt like a morgue. It needed some fun, and I'd like to hope that I helped to get things rolling a little bit.
So the number of posts will just have to land where it lands: I never set a goad to reach a certain number...

I gotta say, this is the longest exit I've ever seen.
Almost like the final credits for "Superman"
