• 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

While I tend to agree with you in general, what happens after you launch a thread it is pretty much out of control and that is one thing I like about this forum.

Exactly. We learn more about each other and the Spyder community when we get "off topic" from time to time. What would some of you do if someone should swerve into GASP! politics and/or religion? Not that we would want to get too deep into either but the point being that getting off topic from time to time adds a little spice to the group.
 
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.

Careful - you must be PC around people.

It should be "20 challenged answers". That way no one takes offence. Either that or those that would take offence should just stay quiet. :popcorn:

That is 1 of my many useless posts for the day. My post count is in need of help. :thumbup:

I don't worry about people that are not to careful with their use of some words. A lot of things can be hurtful when it comes to some subjects. I was step dad to a special needs girl for 13 years in my previous marriage. I found the word used in the original post to be hurtful--but I learned that some people just don't realize what they say. I let it go and still do.
 
Not to offend anyone, lol.. I see posts where some asks a clear question and the replies seem to be members just wanting to comment and not an answer . When I post a question I hope to get an answer to it and really do not want opinions unless it supports the answer. For example, "how much did you pay for your bike in the US" and answers come back like "the dealer needs to make a profit"

Lol... Naturally they do so just answer the question or hold comment/opinion, very simple, lol.

It is just a peeve but one shared by several members that belong to Spyderlovers. I belong to a lot of other forums and by far this one seems to get off topic more often and posts drag on and on without answering the original question.

Back to the original post. :thumbup:
 
:gaah::gaah::gaah:
I just HATE listening to other folks complaining...
They should be listening to ME!!! :D
:joke: :joke: :joke:
 
I agree with the issue as stated but, to me the bigger problem is the tremendous amount of bogus information that is spread around by some of the internet experts. Some is dangerous to individuals, some is dangerous to equipment. Some just exudes poor behavior and/or anti social activities. I belong to one of the better Mustang forums and it is really, really bad for poor to dangerous information.
 
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:


I hope you're wise enough to know that just because you buy a new model doesn't mean there won't be questions. :D

In my experience over the years, when manufacturers do big changes in a model year that is usually the model year you don't want....hope I'm wrong though.:pray:

There's a "better" Mustang forum? Lol

Yes, as compared to the really bad ones. None that I have found are really very useful unless you want to talk about how you blew your motor and then tried to get if repaired under warranty or other similar behavior.

First of All-
There is NO reason Not to ride -I have 6 Rides in December and 7 Tomorrow? Where the proper gear?
Second of All-
There is More and More BullSh**? Being posted and Less and Less Content?
Third of All-
About a year ago it would Take me a Good Hour or so to read through the Group?
Lately it takes about 10 Minutes with ALL the foolishness???

Now you will tell me Ease Off, Lighten Up, You will live longer?

BUT- I and Many people Have a LOT of other interests which Don,t Include seeing our Avatar here 200 times a day and 25,000 times???

So, Maybe Those are the people that should Ease Off, Lighten Up, and the Future of the Forum Might become More Relevant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!nojoke
