HAYABUSA.ORG FORUM CHANGES...
- Thread starter cache
- Start date
I don't really care if the this place stays the same or moves on to something different, as long as the people remain and the subjects remain. I just like to move around through the threads and take it all in. I am not fully computer friendly, but can find my way around if it changes.
I'm not even a rookie so my opinion should be taken as such. I agree with the search function problem mentioned before. It seems to pick up too many general related topics/words. Then again, I may not be using it correctly.
Other than that I think the layout is easy enough to peruse. I can usually find the information I need in the first section I look. Litre bikes section or not? I have no real pro/con opinion, as long as it doesn't bring some of the trash from other internet forums. I kinda like the folks maturity here, well most of the time!!
Thanks.

ok...I have a "This sorta Sucks" comment. When you do a search for lets say..."TRE", you get a billlion results back, most not relating to tre, but because people post things like "Whats a TRE" to be funny in a thread. Makes getting info sorta frustrating, maybe Im using search wrong, or maybe we just need a smarter search. I do think the "Whats a tre" thing is funny, but like I said it is sorta frustrating.
Hey Cache, I know this isn't the right place, but I was wondering if you could tell me: What's a TRE?ok...I have a "This sorta Sucks" comment.

Sorry Valium, I couldn't resist! I consider myself counseled.
HOW TO USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION!!!!
if you dont want to see all the "whats a TRE?" crap, select the dropdown option of topic titles only. Not topic titles and posts.
the search function works fine, if you guys want a crashe course posted up and pinned in the future "help" forum just say so.
too many ppl use it wrong, then never use it again. Not bashing, but it works really good....... AND .... will work better after the forum/category changes are made.
K?

That should make a few feel better about the litre bikes being here.
I think its a good idea, more people = more support for the site.

I like the "New Posts" function, I think a "Smack shack" category would take us in a direction we haven't gone yet. I think that there are plenty of other bike/busa related sites where that is acceptable/encouraged, I think it would alienate many of the people who are here. I can cuss and denigrate with the best of 'em, i just don't think this is the board for it....
The search function could be more user friendly, and please include a spell check for the posts that actually works....

I just live and die... period..
I may be wrong, but I think there are too many categories. I almost never see most of them because they are buried in other subcategories. I usually just go to bike section and try to catch up on new stuff, but it seems not much gets posted there because stuff is all over the place.
Cache, one thing that I was thinking of, is that there are a lot of DoD/government people on the site. Would it be possible to get a DoD/government forum to discuss changes in requirements i.e. insurance, ppe, safety courses, etc.?

I guess what I am trying to say is that having a litre bike forum will bring riders that have never owned or planning to own a busa to the board. Having that forum will create a reason for non busa owners to join.
I know I am fumbling on my words here trying to bring my opinion across but what I am trying to get across is that opening the door to other types of bikes will inherently take away from what I perceived as the reasoning this site is named Hayabusa.org.
Don't get me wrong, I do not think its wrong to include a litre bike catagory or such. I just think it will change the purpose of the site.
But as far as changes period, I think this is a awsome site already. It has been run exellently and I always find what I am looking for and enjoy the interaction with other members.

Ditto this.. thats what I use 99.9% of the time..
also a FAQ link.. big, bold, and can't be missed would be a nice place to stick all the re-runs.
Yep.. what cache-ious clay suggested about the search button helps immensely..
search topic titles only..
the only problem is when people (think rubbah) put something like
"this will have some bearing on your bike" or something like that..
i put 'wheel bearing'
and it competely misses it because it doesn't say wheel... I guess if you just searched for bearing.. but eh.. I blame rubbah
