Honestly....
« on: May 09, 2008, 12:29:38 PM »
     All these new sites are ridiculous. Maybe I'm getting upset over nothing, and I probably am. But is Raptor forum really that bad now? Yea I understand it's slow, but I'm sure that will change as soon as things get up and going. That forum is one of the best that I'm on, very little Drama(until recently) and never been a strict moderated forum. What all these other websites going to do? Is it really going to help our community, info, get togethers, and friends? I by no means is yelling at Brian, he's a cool cat, but all these new sites are just going to split us apart further, and the fact I will have to check them out everyday and get even less done on work  :lol:. I guess I just needed to vented, I'm sure I'll be here and there on this site. I guess I just don't get the reason to jump ship so fast. Two members got banned over on RF, and now they're allowed back if they please. I would completely understand if MANY members we're being banned, and the site was locking all threads and hidding post. I'd rather have us all be together and share are experiences on these great machines.

No-one here is abandoning RF or any other forum for this one.  We are simply providing another option to continue friendships and enjoy Our common sport. 

The status of RF is unfortunate, and I hope they remedy all their issues quickly.  I fully intend on maintaining my membership there if they address all of my concerns, and uphold the level of service I expected when I paid for my VIP membership.

Thanks for checking us out......We are trying to get to the same level as the "other" forum, with a less corporate feel.

That's my point though, what is so "corporate" about RF? They have the same banner up top for advertisements, which I never look at anyway. What exactly has changed about the "feel" of RF?

IMO it's also lost the "Quad riders for quad riders" feel with the new owners, its becoming a new entity under ATV.com.

Like I said, I'm not abandoning RF.  I just perfer to be where everyone from the Owner to the the newest newbie is here for the love of the sport.

In my opinion, it's way different.

Biggest thing lately is of course timeouts. I reamain optomistic for members there, but I feel there will be more changes to come.

Why change things if it's not broke? Only time will tell. It was decided we would move forward, and will do our best to provide a high level of quality for other enthusiast.
