What ever happened to the old site?

[Mosh]

46 year old here...............

True..And we have had some 15 year olds actually be valueable participants with a wealth of talent..However, the posts of the many far outwiegh the posts and input of a few.
And we have had some 40 year olds come on here just to scam peeps also.
My point was that it seems to me like we have quite a few youngins, that drug a old tri moto out of grandpa's garage, and post some really silly stuff. They come and go.

Very true. Some, I'm sure know nothing about wrenching at all, some do. I will agree that some of the guys will "post before they think", or read. These guys need to learn, and some just don't do any research from what is available before they ask. I have seen some of those posts, and I have seen guys point them in the direction of the manuals and/or older posts. I think that is a good way to help them "wise up", if you will. Someone above said that you get this in all internet forums, and I believe that to be true. The kids that are not serious about trikes will leave in a short time. The ones that really want to keep an interest, I think they will learn how to correspond in the correct way. Some guys seem to just want to "stir the pot". That's the ones I have no patience for.

I'm new and you know what really gets me? Is everyone just seeing me for my incredible God-like good looks. Hey, I know I'm pretty, but just because I am so nice to gaze upon, folk miss all the intelligent things I have to say. I am more than just a pretty face, I have ideas, dreams, and am extremely smart. Would everyone just get over the idea of the 'hottie with the naughty body' behind the avatar and know there is a proud 3-wheeler fan.

Hahahahahaha.... Now thats good stuff right there!!!

I think the "RULES" page needs to be read, before people can post.... (30 here)

16 here, but I try and not be.......idiotic.

I am in my 40's as well .I am thrilled to see so many teenagers getting into trikes ! Seems like the hip thing is to ride a quad these days . Good for you guys daring to be different !

ugh, im gonna be 40 in just about 2 months. saying goodbye to the dirty 30's! so far in this thread the only others that have been here as long or before me is mosh and tecate250. i know i was gone for awhile, but that was only because i was working constantly, have 2 kids to take care of, a house and alot more things on my plate. when did the site change? i thought it was just updated to a new style format. arent the original people that started the site still responsible for it? howdy? billy? i know tim is gone, r.i.p. friend, but isnt this the same site as the old one?

when it comes to the constant reposting of the same topics, i agree, its getting ridiculous to see the same type thread from 20 different members about the same issue. everyone needs to learn to use the search box up on the top right hand corner of the page first. a little research and digging thru older threads helps out tremendously. then if they cant find what they are looking for, start a thread.

i miss the days of biggreenmachine, edog (which was on today i see), syko, goat, mik6, trikeaholic, brapp, blazeone22, cloby, etc etc to name a few, and one of my favorites who every one couldnt help but razz cuz of his holier then thou attitude, dr. death. they couldnt have all just lost interest and got out of the hobby could they?

[Billy Golightly]

This sounds like a bunch of a waaaah waaaaaah to me. I was like 13 years old when I started working on this site with Howdy. I had to lie about my age till I was at the first Trikefest because no one would respect me or think about me as anything more than a "Punk assed kid". The problem is stupidity and maturity, not age.

I still advocate some sort of a competency "test" to post in more than one forum (Or to register, even). But I seem to get a mutiny everytime I even mention it...

I think most people are conditioned to gravitate towards the members that were around when they first found and started using the forum. For me its Howdy, Swinehart, Mik6, Tri-Z_Jim, trikeaholic,Bill_X_R, and a few other people. I know what your saying but most of those guys have moved on to other things...just kinda how life is.
