Right then you 'orrible lot :P Just wondering if anyone has any comments and opinions on these forums that they'd like to let us Management types know, or any suggestions and ideas for improvement. The whole thing is designed for all of us to enjoy so we need your help to make sure things are always so good that you couldn't imagine life without us :)
Feel free to post on this thread or PM me anything which I can then share with Mac
Love you long time
xx
How about a Hand-bag section? So if there are any grievences with any one else on the site they can go there for a fight/general bitch!! IE: Hand bags at 20 paces!!!!
This has been typed with tongue FIRMLY in my cheek!!
;D Gotta love Andrews idea ;)
I think most things are covered in the 'Site Feedback' section on what most people want to see, like the members map etc.
Apart from that I want my sticker in ORANGE :P
;D
Keep up the good work!
mac was working on the stickers this morning :)
will look into the members map asap
Sort out which areas which guests can view (cos at the minute they can view everything)..............which in turn will make more people log in............which in turn will show the site in a more popular light.........which will make more people join
'humourous' post count names so people don't get a bag on about not being a senior member anymore
Site rules and regs.........break them once and get a warning.........break them second time 'bye bye'
etc etc
Or just make the females on colour and the males another :)Quote:

Also maybe sticking a paypal button somewhere for Donations might be good ;)
Don't change too much, it's alright as it is!

Restrict the wimmins posts to less than 500 words! :P
chat room, chat room, chat room.
must. chat. more. gossip. gossip
But we have MSN for chat ?!
And those that dont have/want msn?? what do they do. its a nice ice breaker to get to know people. just join in on conversations without being invited (eavesdropping)Quote:

Furry Muff....
Just seems that all sites that do have chatrooms - never get used. Or are used loads for the first few days and not touched again!

it'll save dabz and mac big headache installing chatroom software
but anyway.................another suggestion which is far more important than a chatroom.............
more choice of smiley's please!! :P
i thought this post was for suggestions??? i made a suggestion and got told it wasnt important enough. good luck to anyone else who has any suggestions to contribute. i hope yours is important enough!!!! >:(
I wasn't saying that at all, and I'm sorry if it came across in that way.
Sorry Chantelle.
Opps hand bags at dawn ;D

Once the site really takes off with a whole load of new members then yes, I'm sure the powers upstairs will look at it more closely. But for the sake of using a free program in the meantime, whilst letting the Admin geeks work their magic on other areas of the site, would'nt you think thats just a little bit worthwhile??
Didn't mean to suggest that your suggestion wasn't important...............it was a tongue in cheek comment which i thought would be seen by my following suggestion of more smileys!!
Next time i'll be more obvious
nee offence like pet like
Wasn't a shout box suggested a while ago?
Stop the boring Gixer vs Kwak threads as most i click on seem to resort to it
(im off to hide now)
admin geeks? excuse me? It's management geek, sounds better
Isn't banter half of what the forum is about, a bit of light relief.Quote:

Agreed, Bird is right. Gixxer verses Kwak is just banter, wouldn't life (and forums) be boring if no one took the piss?
Thats what it's all about, a bit of mickey taking and a laugh, as long as it doesn't get personal! :)
Jen.
still a geek ;)Quote:

Yeah, point taken, but the way I see a forum is like a virtual meeting place, which in real life is the like of a bar, and the first thing you get in a bar is banter. Unfortunately on a forum we don't have the privilege of visual contact, and the only common denominator is what bikes we have, so therefore that is what the subject of most banter. Most, including me are very passionate about their bikes and if someone has a pop at it then the natural thing to do is have a pop back! It happens in every form of discussion. You only have to look at football (yak!)…Q. What team do you support then A. Chelsea (for example) reply = oh flippin eck that bunch of foreign gits….etc etc. Its just banter. I agree some goes too far, but that’s human nature. We’re all grown ups (well physically anyway ;)) if someone doesn’t like it, PM the other party and tell them why, 9 times out of 10, you’ll get an apology of no intent to offend, if not agree to disagree and let it go, life’s too short to hold a grudge. Is it the fact that some people find it boring or just a few being a bit touchy? You will never please everyone.
I’m sorry if people don’t agree, but isn’t that what this is all about….discussion.
:)
i see what your saying and i dont mind banter if you look at my previous posts im there quite often howver no offence meant to anybody but when you have been on here from near enough day one and its been the same joke repeated it gets kinda tedious
Yeah I understand that, but as new people join, and as its a new forum, that’s becoming ever more frequent, because of the appeal of the forum, that 'joke' is refreshed with new input from new members, such as myself, and now Jen and others, who jump on the banter and add our piece..... to which a reply is given or we would feel ignored!
Jen became a member because I told her about it, that it was fun to be on and a good bunch of guys and girls, it still is, but we can't stop that humour from being on here just because it happens to be repetitive to those who have been here for a while.
Banter makes people feel welcome, it's the first thing you throw at a new employee at work, to make them feel at ease and welcome to the team!
I'm not saying it's a free for all, but it is such a major part of a forum. Maybe the Gixer / Kwak bit is a bit long in the tooth, but when you gixer owners accept that kwaks are better, then it'll stop (sorry couldn't help it)
But it just goes to prove it defuses a potential situation. Maybe it is boring, transparent, predictive, but it gets a response, which leads on to other subjects. Tyres was one recently, again, what each person has they believe to be the best. That’s why they bought them, but while people have opinions, they will put them.

You know guys,I see a pattern here of who likes the Banter (kwak v Gixer or whatever) and those who don't........ :o
The guys who dont know who you are and my suggestion to you is if you see any thread that you don't like,move on to the next.....the're plenty of other rubbish on here to read......You will never stop 'my bikes better than your bike' between people passionate about their machines,maybe you just don't have that passion that a lot of us here have......Poor you..... :'(
GB. (Gixer owner and proud of it) 8-) :)
Ps. See how I ignored Bird's jibe there.......Not worthy of a reply thats why! ;D :D ;)

p.s. i know i can't spell/type :D
Thats the type off comment i get sick off to be honest, its not about being passionate i love my gixer through and through and when i passed my test i didnt even look for another bike as i knew exactly what i wanted and i dont regret that one bit. Its just boring as i seem to move onto another thread and there it is again and again. I was just purely saying what i dislike which this thread was about "feedback". But hey there goes GB with another dig at somebody taking it to a personal level. Well no offence to other people on here i have met (very few) but i think i may aswell just stop posting now and wish you all the best off luck and have fun on whatever machines you have...........Quote:
