How many people were on the forum last time?

**trip** · 11-30-2011, 10:35 PM

Just as many. We've always had about 50 to 100 active members... give or take a few. This time, there are those that are taking everything personally, like it's their forum and group. I wonder if they would keep on bitchin' if there were no VBA or if they had to pay 50 bucks a year just to get in here?

There are those that need to wake up, realize that this forum and group is not theirs and respect that fact. The VBA is not a democracy... never has been. I don't mind considering comments and taking suggestions, but once a decision is made for the betterment of the group... that's the way it is.

That would be like that "harley owners group". Sure would not want to be in anything like that. Spend all that money and then pay an annual fee to be recognized as member of a special fraternity. (of fools and money)

**markclark57** · 12-01-2011, 12:39 AM

Even the "Lifers" here only pay $2/year.

I like to raise a fuss now and then. I don't want to be the one that IS fussy. I just like to get them going or keep it up.

That 2 bucks/year isn't set in stone. All depends how much longer someone lives. As bad as my health is, my membership could be worth $34.50/year.

Hey! Who started all this bickering?

What Trip says, is gospel.
Let it be that way.....

Hey now...that wasn't nice. I certainly don't consider myself a fool, and I'd bet neither do Dave, Greg, or any of the other Harley owners here. H.O.G. membership is no different than joining ROK (Riders of Kawasaki). I didn't hear you spewing your crap about them.

**Top Cat** · 12-01-2011, 12:47 PM

I'm willing to bet a toy run put on by ROK would not turn away a rider on a Harley.

Monkeyman · 12-01-2011, 12:56 PM

Can't we all just get along? It really doesn't matter what we ride as long as it's on 2 (or sometimes 3) wheels. I chose a Nomad. I could have just as easily chosen a HD or a Honda. Doesn't matter as I'm riding.

Calm down monkey, I just like to bust on Scott and he busts on me. We both know it is all in fun.

Greg, I understand how you feel, but I didn't call for a runoff because some don't know how to vote. I felt it was necessary due to the number of entrants there were.

Don't worry... your suggestion will get another chance.

And BTW... using the phrase The Vulcan Nation shouldn't be a problem like you suggested, but, if it wins, I was going to make a courtesy call to Kawa anyway. I'm banking that they will say no problem.

I was just pulling your chain... I understand.

Oh, Darn! I forgot to write "I Joke, I Joke!"

Monkeyman · 12-01-2011, 11:26 PM

My post wasn't directed towards anyone in particular. Just a general comment. I know everyone jokes. That's part of what makes this a great place. The first sentence was a quote from one of Pauly Shores movies (I think he's funny). Guess I should have added quotations and a smiley face. :)
