I know I rarely post, so my word/opinion may hold less value than those that have been an avid poster. And while I mainly lurk, I do find myself on here every day on these forums.

Just wanted to say thanks to GuyB for taking a stand against rider bashing and foolish posting. Just in this short period of 'clean up', I already noticed an improvement in quality of posts and discussion (people figuring out how to have a discussion about a 'not so positive' topic without the abrasive bashing).

:thumbsup:

It has been cleaned up pretty nicely the last few days. Even one of my posts got deleted bashing Barcia which was fine by me. Not as much garbage on here lately and it's making everybody step up there quality of posting.

GuyB has let a lot of things slide here that would have resulted in a permanent ban on many other sites. Not sure how he put up with it for so long but kudos for changing it up.

Mor eimportantly I know how much time it take someone to moderate, so thanks for your time and efforts. Definitely was refreshing to look at Vital last couple of days.

It was a bit like a runaway train - sometimes rather funny - but sometimes rather distasteful. Hope that those who got clipped and are passionate about our sport return to contribute on a new level.

We all get out of line every now and then. Of course when it turns to threatening and just hate hate, then there needs to be a clean up. He probably should have dinged me several times.

I agree, I love the info and discussion this site provides, I hate the way a discussion turns into a yard sale almost every time.

I read daily as well..I weed thru stupid, hate,jealous,speculation,fiction and facts..what hurts the most is riders getting hurt.
supercross should be for 300cc machines in thebig boy class and 150cc lites
outdoors 450cc and 250cc and a 125 support class...bring it on!
I enjoy motox thats the bottom line...

it has been much better lately, and i've tried to clean up a lot of my useless joking posts as well. i don't think GuyB gets the credit he deserves. the Home page has been KILLING it lately as well, awesome content.

that said, today is Tuesday and it's calmed down some. if you want to be dragged back into lameville, come on the site on sunday morning. it's unbearable reading the shit that people post about the race the night before.

Well, that's why I'm a little behind schedule this week...I spent part of Saturday night/Sunday morning taking out the trash.

I do like the vibe a lot better right now.

If only GuyB would clean up all the 2 stroke vs 4 stroke Bull Shit that everyone has to navigate through every hour of every day on here. Maybe a seporate forum would clean things up a bit on the main moto forum.
It's all from a handful of posters too that think the manufacturer CEO's are reading this crap.
