what is going on with 3ww

[3leggeddog]

man,i have been very discouraged by alot ofthings i have been reading lately.it seems as though things are imploding through out the trike community.the community in a wholehas come so far in the last few years,but yet,has seperated in the same sense.we are divided by where we live,what aspect of triking we enjoy best,and now we are seperated by how we celebrate at our annual gathering.there is enough hate,and displeasure throughout the world guys,suck it up,and cut each other some slack.

You think this is bad? Lol.
Head over to caraudio.com/forum for a couple hours and hang out in the Lounge.
This will seem all so tame.

You talking about the whole James9r9 situation? We're just laughing at him because he's such an easy target. I doubt any of us really think he's a bad kid or anything, although he DOES need to read up on topics before posting.

[3leggeddog]

well that forum is not nearly as close as this one,we are family here man,thats why it's so disturbing.

[3leggeddog]

it's noone in paticular.it's the whole site,and many things all rolled up.

Guess thats true. Not only that, the caraudio forum consists of about 70% of people under the age of 18.

I agree 3leg... seems things have been going downhill a bit lately.. (hopefully its just some growing pains were experiencing) or a phase that we'll snap out of shortly... Personally,,, I think its mostly the younger crowd that is the source.. moslty..

Even tho I wasn't at TF and dont know the compete story.. I found it highly disturbing to read that one thread... with all the bickering.

Lost a few good members over that one... Tim Sr. comes to mind immediatly and his knowledge and advice I know will be sorely missed.. along with a few others...

I sure hope things take a turn for the better soon. I love this place and sure would hate to lose it.

Some folks (myself included) need to grow up a bit and think a little before they hit the reply button. Really,, its as simple as that.

Maybe it's time to buckle down and start cleaning house!!!! !! !!!!

damn.... so my presence here was all in vain!? bah! lmfao!! even though some may be anoying and have troublesome and stupid questions, I consider even a KID a member, they have to ask in there own way, sometimes I jump in on the "your an idiot bandwagon" case in point umm....TRR's K car....now come one who the hell wants to make a K car awesome?.. but I also give them slack, many kids will take 10 million replies and not do a single one, but oh well at least ya tried right? like it or not people, the true ones that grew up on and with three wheelers like myself and many other here are growing thin, were the ones getting older and now kids that were born AFTER they stoped production of them are starting to be main members now. I think deal with it, delete if need be, and clown when its apropriate.

with almost 9,800 members there is about a few hundred that are die hard members, who visit the site religiously.. a few pot stirrers are expected.A few disgruntled people have spoken..Im shure they will get over it...

For Every member that leaves and don't come back,,theres two more coming in the door right behind them.
That don't mean that they got out of trikes..they just don't visit,Because they cant handle the B.S. Thats there choice

My join date was the day I bought this computer,,I went to wal-mart spent $700.Just so I could visit this site!

Everyone I have met on this site in person,,even the ones who left,,Have been some of the nicest people I have met!! With the exception of one person,who was a real (prick) when I met him. Has turned out to be a really good friend! If you read a disgruntled post from someone..take it with a grain of salt. Because thats not who they really are.

we all have bad days...and we all get pissed about something.

CHIN UP 3WW We are the last of a dieing breed!

Man, I hope this site doesnt continue going down hill. I need this site. I dont know where id be with my Z or R if it wasnt for 3ww. I will admit, I probably fall into the noob catagory and have probably asked some stupid questions...But I had to learn somewhere. Most of my local shops are "anti trike" so I am very limited to where I can get info from. That said, even though I am a noob, i still consider myself a triker and will always have trikes.

So I say deal with the noobs and their stupid questions. They will eventually learn to use the search function. And besides, us young guys are the ones that will be keeping this sport alive down the road. Or at least I know I will be.

And as far as the trouble makers, its impossible to get rid of all of them. But just put the down the best you can. If they cause problems, warn them. If they continue, ban them. That should get rid of most of them.

And last but not least, you cant make everyone happy. There will always be complainers, people who can't take a joke, trolls, and people who give up to easily. I guess we just have to deal with that.

That pretty much sums up what I wanted to say. I dont like seeing people freak out and leave, or throw hissy fits. Theres a LOT of members here, we're not all going to have the same opinions and beliefs.


On the other point, I think its a sesonal thing. What Ive noticed is around this time of the year, everybody just gets thrown into a little funk of sorts.

Well, as a fairly new person on the board as well, I've probably asked some dumb questions. So, I've learned to try to do some searches through the old posts so I'm not being redundant. But, even so, without this board, I'd not know a ton of information on things that I'll likely have to repair myself due to the still unbelievable backlash over 3-wheelers (it still is very disturbing to me...I get it, but I don't, if you get my drift). If anything this last weekend riding expeience has taught me is, we really do need to stick together. I sort of have an "us again them" mentality (don't get me wrong, I'm still nice to non-3 wheeler owners out on the trails) but i also make sure I'm not doing anything to give them the chance to say "I told you so." So I guess what I'm trying to say, if someone is being an a.. I think it's fine to tell them so. However, if someone is asking a legit question, and it might have been answered in the past, there's no need to get snippy about it. Just simply tell them to do a search. It's not that hard to do that. And most people do. But I've seen some people bite others heads off about it...which isn't cool.

Anyway, I like the board. And I like reading all the different trike posts, even if it doesn't apply to anything I need or do. And hopefully, one of these days, I'll get to meet a bunch of you. I plan on doing some trips to various areas of the country with my trike, so I'm looking forward to that. From the sound of it, most everyone is pretty cool in person.

I think he purposely stirs the can. That is the only member I have ever been intentionally rude to.

there are politics brewing on this site that drive me nuts. Some of these people need to watch "Days of their lives" as a source of drama - it makes me sick to read some of the crap that is on here - so I stay in trikesylivania.

speaking of which - shouldn't this be moved?
