It's pretty cool how much influence this forum has on the industry

A week ago there was a thread on here about how Ricky was too hard on Sexton in the commentary booth and then the next race Ricky did not shut up about why he was hard on Sexton, saying it was because he has such high expectations of him and respects his ability so much.

I thought that was pretty funny. There's been quite a few other pro's and ex pro's I've heard mention reading about themselves on Vital. I think it's pretty stupid that they care that much, which makes it funny.

We need better and more examples of why you believe this to be true.

Unfortunately isn’t this the only fan forum?

There are many other influences and factors that represent the decisions made by the industry as well as consumer desires and demands.

Agree and it has shown many times, little adjustments to what was said on here.  However, the biggest one’s remain unchanged…

Long live Vital! 

Most forums have either no new posts or have disappeared completely.

Yep. Would be cool if we could put a post limit per day feature or something in place to keep the select few from posting shit in every thread…

Stop kidding yourself.  The opinions here are a gnat on a flea's ass.

Well, those worthless opinions sure affected DC. 

They changed the AMA rules after claimgate, that's bigger than whatever your opinion of this community's pull is.

I think it's more likely that RC realized he went kind of hard, or one of Chases' sponsors said something, so he provided more context and justification. 

No forum needed.


Also, a lot of people in the industry can't read or write.

Thor lost it when they ditched the old logo and then doubled down with the new logo. Thor lost their whole identity.

Ricky reads this and Reddit bc he's obsessed with the "keyboard warriors". If you didn't know, there is a sticky thread on Reddit on Ricky's commentating. Kudos to him for taking the feedback tho honestly. 

Weege referencing and often deriding the keyboard warriors. 

Daniel Blair alluded to receiving "too much" support from the fan base in a way that alienated NBC leadership. 

Mirtl and the "public execution" thing 

Guys like case clason and aray and 722 gaining notoriety.

I thought that this place would like this stuff .   For a brand to be at the top, You have to continue to innovate and change. Doing the same stuff over and over is not going to allow for a lot of growth.   They were who they were at what was/is considered their prime, by doing stuff like this. Not just remaking old designs or recycling colorways. 

 

Look at what Seven did to motocross gear. Years ago when it came out there was nothing like it. Now every high end gear is made up of stretch materials and has that snug fit. If Seven just came out with gear and did it the same as everybody else , they may not still be around today. 

 

For every person asking for the old logo to come back, There have been people posting about how Thor gear never changes.  Hate it or love it, they are being talked about a lot on here. Getting eyes on the gear and brand .  

I like it. I was happy to see that it was bright and not a pale pink/blue.
