This problem doesn't seem to be getting any better, so I have a rant.

Threads In The Wrong Forum
PLEASE POST YOUR THREADS IN THE APPROPRIATE FORUM.

General Discussion is for anything motorcyle related (that doesn't fit into another forum). So, don't post motorcycle related threads in Off-Topic.

Scroll down to the "Other" forums. There are several there for specific topics. Don't post something in Off-Topic if there's an "Other" forum for your topic of discussion.


Descriptive Thread Titles
Let's all (myself included) try to be more descriptive with our thread titles.

The Bad:
Thread Title: Does anyone...
Thread Body: ...know what size widget fits on a 954?

The Good:
Thread Title: 954 Widget Size
Thread Body: Does anyone know what size widget fits on a 954?


Thanks

No - someone else must bitch loudly about it, then leave because someone was messed with. Not the guy that was actually messed with. Man, keep it straight.

By adding a question mark you let people know that is a question looking for info vs a statement providing info.

weren't you banned already but it was some type of confusing mistake in which you couldnt remember your password?
THEN - you decide to leave in a fit of rage, but just mention you will.

Re: Posting Rant
I've been seeing a lot of this lately too:

When you quote a post, and want to remove part of that quote to make it more precise, that's GREAT.

It saves space and makes more sense to narrow down what you are replying to.

Just make sure you don't delete the [quote][/quote] tags, or it just makes a mess.
