Okay -
Now that I have read some of these posts more thouroughly/carefully, here is what I think. The Busa came out in 99. They have made a coouple of component improvements, but for the most part, the Busa has remained unchanged since its introduction. Having said that, there probably aren't as many pure information posts as there were earlier on. Sure the occasional noob comes in and askes why he can't run 6 TREs in series for a 900hp gain, but we expect that because of how camoflaged the search function is. Even the lurkers can go through older posts and learn stuff, so a much higher percentage of the posts are simple rants, raves and rambling about what ever comes to mind (hense the random thoughts forum). I have been on the site now from 2003 (lurking under luvmybusa) until I came in full fledged last year. What I have noticed in the last few months is a sharp increase in agitation and irritating posts, trolls bouncing in and out and people running virtually unchecked. Several of the people who make regular posts have complained about the decline of the on-line environment recently. The Capt turned the reigns over to Cache, Thrasher left for a brief hiatus, even N.E. was walking.
I say all of this to show that we have had some real jerks come in here and muddy the waters and get us all mad at each other. They have been successful. When a person comes in with a "Busas Blow Big Hairy Moose Root" screen name, why are they here? I don't care about what a person rides, as long as they ride. I have all but stopped posting on our local riders board because it has become little more than a combination of "Matchmaker.com" and "As the Rotor Turns". If you don't ride a busa, but can appriciate our passion as busa owners, wlecome aboard! If you want to come in here and talk about how busas suck, why not do that on your own make/model/brand board and let like minded people enjoy your comments. Save us the trouble of having to start screening posts and screen names for topics of value. That's why I suggested a probabtionary membership. If your a troll, you wouldn't be asked to leave, you would simply disappear.
Oh well, just my .02
