To be fair this forum is incredibly quiet compared to it's heyday which I'd say was maybe 10-15 years ago?
Used to be loads of social meetings, people touring together, racing together and all sorts so you may have a point!
Facebook took all of that over and has done for some time.Used to be loads of social meetings, people touring together, racing together and all sorts so you may have a point!
Look at Bikechatforum as an example, only about 7 (senile, angry old duffers) use it on a regular basis.

Although not motorbikes - singletrackworld is the same. It's just dull. Once upon a time it was full of witty, funny and interesting posters. Look at Bikechatforum as an example, only about 7 (senile, angry old duffers) use it on a regular basis.

I've met a lot of people from here (your good self included) and everyone has been spot on. (even the Southerners)
I remember being in MCN - there was a trio of us, me, DirtyBill and ChopStickJim (both now sadly passed away) and we used to get banned off it all the time - I remember doing stuff like embedding autoplaying midi file links in the subject lines of posts in a full stop so the main forum page would do stuff like play “begin the beguine” when you opened it. The joys of primitive html forums.
Most people moved onto VD when Ben started it. I remember “forum raids” when we would go on US based Harley Forums and so on - you could wind them up a treat, get death threats, gun threats etc it was top fun.
