Yea , I hear what you are saying , I have noticed it as well , the majority of literal 1 time posters , ask something , we take our time to answer , and not even a thank you , or a response at all , and the post goes on to be 1 reply , if you look at the "Menu/New Posts" , it is full of them , 1 reply (usually me) and never a response from the OP even acknowledging our effort to TRY to help ....*sigh* ..
I keep hoping things will pick up , but it also seems to me by reading(not participating in) other bike forums , that the majority of them are like Social Media , or rather Anti-Social Media , and kind of volatile and infantile , which I would not care to be a part of anyway ....... every once in a while some people post here with legitimate issues , and questions , and even remain and continue to post , but the trend seems to be get a little info , and move on , or ask for info , then move on without even waiting to hear the info they asked for ........ I think the fact that there is no drama here , drives those that post only to be heard , to other sites ..... that part I can live without , but yea , I was hoping to see a continuance of what this place was 10 years ago , and not sure what the issue really is .... , I "think" we are personable to everyone , and I enjoy the drama free zone we have here , I just wish that type of chatter that once was here , was more popular , places like Vital MX and GrumpyTalk (TT) , are really drama factories and take away the fun of a information forum ....
I will still share what little knowledge I have as long as Ken is willing to keep the site up and put up with us ...... but yea , I understand where you are coming from ..... but I still check in numerous times a day , just in case we get popular to others besides Spammers and 1 timers .....
And actually , I did not know that either
, I thought he was just one of the guys that hung out with us.
