Remember that old Bee Gee song? Well you'd have to be almost as old as me to,or have listened to it when your parents or grand parents were doing the disco thing.
If this forum is staying alive, it needs some repair.
There are dead photo links I am told and links to things in the how -to data base that need fixing.
Working full time, and having another life, and other things I just have to do, a little help would be nice. If Proboards ever makes somebody the Admin, it will be up to that person to see the job gets done. Until then shall we try and fix some stuff?
All I am asking is if you see something that has a problem, post a link here or send me a PM and I will see what I can do. It would be nice to not have to go through all the forums and threads by myself.
I know that things should have been kept up as they had problems pop up but it tapered down to just Earl and I and we were kind of tapering off ourselves it seemed. There is a long sad story about that and we have already cried enough.

As i see it Doug no one should blame you, there is always more to the story then meets the eye.
I think everyone should use ANY and ALL scooter forms, play fair in all of them.. never a winner, when your greedy. I my self go to ALL the forms, and like them all for different reasons.

Doug,
You seem to be the only one doing the job for a long time. I appauld you for that!!! I don't think this forum would have survived without your work. I too know what it is like trying to work, do personal stuff at home and I do find the time to share what I kow and try to help those that need help.
I have no doubt that this forum will survive and "Stay Alive". Yes I too am old enough to remember the BeeGees and many before them.
Keep up the good work!
Jim

medmans the only mod I ever saw before the new guy/owner. Why dont we all do an election for mod to be and send the results to PB? I know theyre ultimately in control of it but maybe they may take our recommendation.

/K J/K J/K J/K oh wait thats right he has been doing his professional job running his own site & moderating this one all at the same time

Everything from your personal quote to the posts you make seem to be for one purpose -- to create confrontation. Well I'll have you know that Lee did in fact have multiple moderators on this site -- In fact, about a dozen or so... I used to be one of them, and there used to a consensus vote in the Mod section as to how to handle posts and people. I'm sure your name would have been reported several times! As time went on, people dropped off, some of them we never expected to, but that's life. To his credit, Doug has stayed, like it or not, and he deserves the credit for keeping things sane here. Why don't you just mind your own business and go back from wherever you came? Oh, that's right, you will be! C-YA-Rich

I don't believe there is one yet. The folks at PB said they disabled the admin account, which probably means they changed the password. I'm sure once it's working again, we'll hear from the new boss...

The last thing I heard was posted by Mike on the .net site. It looks to me as though Proboards IS giving the forum over to Mike. He will be the Admin and so he is in charge. I think that is the end of the story.
Now it is definately time for all of us to just re-unite here and be friends.
I sincerely hope all the bickering will fade away.
And Yes I do take snuggle bunnies post as a joke.

And Yes I do take snuggle bunnies post as a joke. True. AS I said a while back, once the smokes clears it will be okay. I am sure that we will all re-unite here and go back to being ourselves and helping others and have a great time once again. It has been a long week. lots of things have been said, both good and bad depending on what side of the issue you were on. Personalities are just that, to each their own. I do sincerely hope that now there is light at the end of the tunnel the worse is behind us and we can rally together. Remember, It's all about the ride. Jim

I think we all ought to remember that this is a scooter forum, and not a place for wars of any kind, from ideology to psychology. You can be friendly while disagreeing with somebody. If you are the type to always be a catalyst for a shid storm, I hope they ban you because there isn't room for that on any board where learning and teaching about scooters is the goal. Maybe we should all take a breath and remind ourselves of the purpose of the board. Scooters are fun. They are fun to ride, and fun (for many) to work on, upgrade, decorate, re-build, buy and sell, or just to talk about. Why make this place something it isn't? People who have to be right all the time are close-minded individuals, and the last ones I would listen to about anything. Be willing to be wrong and in a place like this, I think it's frankly dangerous to "guess" what any answer might be for a new rider (especially). I defer to the experts, sharing only my experience and what I've read but never calling it the only way or the right way.
What say ye? Can we all get back to scooters and use our manners? Is that possible?

Nice to see some sensible posts.
All that is left for the change to happen from what Patrick at Proboards says is for Lee to go n there and post his wish for Mike to be the admin here.
To that all I have to say is it will be nice to finally have an active admin that comes here more often that every one or two years and actually does something other than say, it is my forum.
I know that I speak ta least some of the moderators that have been here in the past when I say it felt as though we had no support from the admin. We were basically abandoned.
Now hopefully Lee will finish the change over soon.

John I'll be honest; I only remember like 4 things. 1, I had a crush on my teacher, Miss Rawston or Rawlston, I think. 2. We had those little cars that you put your knee on and scooted along with the other foot; those were fun as Hell. 3. Some book called Footprints. 4. Some book called Rocket Ships. Not sure where kindness and manners came from... I wouldn't know if it started in Kindergarten because Miss Rawston wore skirts a lot.
