Maybe GuyB could chime in with some data..Maybe people are just out riding?

Vital getting rid of Scottie affected that. Half of us participated in the race threads just to BS with him.

Damn straight.
He is always a friendly and familiar face on here. Never met him in person, but we've been BSing online for over twenty years. A guy that could be down on life and have a bad attitude, is a smiling face, full of positivity. He made the room different just cause he was there, almost a festive spirit.

That’s a shame. I only had a couple conversations with him but, I knew right off the bat he was a good guy.

Is the guy running a Ford light truck spring on the back of that sport bike? The thing isn’t even drooping.

Just tell everyone to post in one subforum. VitalMX almost never moves threads to the proper subforum anyway.

How many bike builds have you seen outside of the bike build subforum?

How many FS posts have you seen outside the FS subforum?

How many hundreds of tech questions have you seen outside the tech subforum?

How many hundreds of non-MX threads have you seen outside the "off-road" subforum?

He went to the other insider board.

I think the IP ban suggestion is a good one. I've actually never been on a forum that didn't use IP bans except this one. I understand where Steve is coming from, although I don't agree with him RE: getting rid of Non-Moto. I also haven't had to moderate this forum for nearly two decades, thank god.

Internet forums, by their very definition, attract people who have strong opinions and want a place to express them. Coupled with the general characteristics of racers/motorheads, you have a perfect storm of ingredients to produce an environment that requires a lot of moderation. No doubt this is overwhelming and I'm constantly impressed with the amount of patience Steve shows. Is he perfect? Of course not. None of us are. We all make mistakes.

I don't have the solution to the problem. More mods? I'm not sure that would help and might even make the problem worse. Regardless, I would be very disappointed to see Non-Moto get the axe. There are good people here. There's a good sense of community and camaraderie here. It seems that many of the guys here have been on this or other moto forums for a long time and the loss of this part of the forum would mean a fair number of guys would lose a convenient platform for interacting with each other. I'd hate to see that
Problem is VPNs are very common in use and get around that.

I probably won’t be visiting as much if it goes away. The Moto section hasn’t had a whole lot of interesting material lately so I’ve been relying on Non Moto to get my Vital fix.
I was just thinking this today. With not much going on in SX/MX, it's nice to share thoughts with like minded people! Hence me being in non-moto

Is there really a problem? It’s probably been very good moderation, but I haven’t noticed too many people getting into the weeds.
