as much as i really ahte to admit it, he is right. with everyhting else in life natural selection will take it's course. the people who really care about the site and sport will stay and the others will leave.

like scott said you have to do things in order to make the site survive, your actions should not have to be explained and should not be up for discussion.

it ashame though that some people are like a plague and destroy whatever site they are on. it's starts out with one person and eventually the attitude latched on to everyone else with constant bickering and next thing you know you have a civil war on your hands. who showing loyalty to what shop and this and that


deal with it. this site was amde to bring people and the sport together, not tear it apart. some people need to evaluate themselves and take a look at what they are really arguing about. some people i know on here were really good friends and now really aren't because of loyalty to one shop or another. ya'll need to put your differences aside and get out and ride instead of sitting here on a message board and arguing about how other people are running a business

A site that existed without BS. We hoped that everybody would keep themselves in check, by having one major focus (Freestyle/Freeride) we thought that it would be much easier, no debates on couch's vs poleski's etc etc........

Just has not gone like it should...........

one of the biggest hopes was to let this site help to coordinate freerides.......... with one in particular we hit some hurdles, in finding a new location, it seamed all we (Paul, Kathy, Tiny, Adrian and myself) got was bitching becuase we were not doing our job in finding a location where you could get drunk........... I am sorry, I thought this was about jetsking not power drinking.........

All I have to say is that I'm staying on this site. I don't see how it can be so hard for people to take an issue to PM's or to just drop it. IF you are joking in a thread, make sure the other person knows to take it as such. Body language is 70% of conversation and it's much harder, obviously, to convey body language on an internet forum than it is in person... meaning -SOMEONE- will take your post the wrong way. The best thing that JETT did was to make the -... BE RESPECTFUL- button. Everyone needs to stop making these stupid threads and act like you have some sort of matureness inside you.

No, it has not been like this.

Just lately we have a lot of people taking it upon themselves to be the forum sarcasm experts, or whatever certain people are doing.

No matter what we do, it's not the right thing. Ban PancakePete, why did you ban Pete?!?!?! Ban SFL, why did you ban SFL!?!?! Why do you let threads like that continue, why did you lock that thread?!?!?! Your site is full of attitudes and cliques, your site is sterile and boring.

See where I'm going here?

We're fed up with the whole thing, it's just not worth it anymore. The site is not what we envisioned it to be, and we don't get paid to do this, so why bother?
