Looks like the old board is "hiring" LOL

Recommended Posts

No takers yet ? Think of like this, the owners would not have that issue if they had listen to us....... So just give your winnings back to this place, and no one is stopping the members from there to join here for help, but there was just a limited time the word was put out (about this plsce) there, and I'm sure a number of members there had the chance to join here at that time, and still do..... We are just not putting the word out any longer because this place is now very well established, the most important thing to remember is..... The members aren't getting help is true, but it's the owners fault not any of us here.

My thoughts are that the younger riders, when online, want the fast pace conversations (like chat) and that's why social media like FB are still going strong. The old wait for the correct answer of the forums is still the best but they will go through 100s of bad answers and ignore a good answer on FB instead. All the searches anymore are for selling stuff. You have to actually type in "forum" to get any old forum post in a search result unless it's something they can't sell you or you tube doesn't have it. That's another thing I noticed, the younger riders seem to like videos more than reading on how to fix a problem. I personally hate watching that 8 minute video to get the 2 seconds to answer the issue. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad people take the time to make those but I'm still an old read it and look at the schematics kind of person.

 

For kicks I just browsed the HF site and it looks like a bunch of new unanswered posts and maybe even a few of their "hired" problem posts. That is one thing that really made me mad is when they payed others to post (no proof just my observation) to make the forum look more active. I'm still holding the second spot on posting though. lol

I post as much help as I am comfortable giving; I'm not going to answer posts when I'm out of my wheelhouse. I don't think that there are enough experienced members there to answer the span of questions being posted. For the few like Goober and Eric, they probably can't keep up with the questions. Often, the solution is to point them here.

I only failed one subject in school , typing , went to a catholic high school ran by brothers and they were mean , never liked Brother Carl , thought at 17 in 1974 , " why do I need typing " , never realized the internet would come along  and now I am a two finger Pecker Head 

i got up to 30 words per minute, with only three mistakes, but what do i know, i'm the only guy, who took home economics, 1 guy, 20 girls. now, ya never know whats in that class. this was public school.. thing is, i just wanted to know how to cook, guess i was cooking, subconsciously., and ya should know about economics.. just look at AOC;, a congress person, saying, if ya need more money, just print it. apparently she/it, i not good with the pronoun thing, got to be correct, hasnt used a wheel barrel to bring money to the store. not a political statement nor politics, just a educational point of view, i liked history also.

on the side, is there an education thread, so i dont post the wrong thing. its getting late in the day, almost sunrise.

Hey Eddie, I had Mr. Davidson for my typing teacher.  Some of us called him Harley.  Not to his face though.

 

I bet AOC could eat corn on the cob through a chain link fence.  Just looking at her reminds me of a praying mantis.

The funniest part of it all is that she thinks she's beautiful and every man alive wants to go out with her.

@Fishfiles

 

Always disconnect your hose from the house in freezing weather. 
 

The ice expands and damages your valve seats causing a leaky valve that needs to be replaced.  
 

Lived in cold weather most of my life and this cost me money, time and water.  
 

If I need to defrost a windshield quickly, I take a gallon container and fill it with cool to lukewarm water.

Never use hot water as that will crack the windshield.
