_Wilson_™ 6,593 Posted October 10, 2022 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toodeep 1,759 Posted October 11, 2022 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 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

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. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
