XTreme Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 In case you're looking for it I've merged motorcycle news into motorcycle chat.....including all the feeds. The sections were very similar so it's better to have one with more posts rather than two half empty ones. I plan to introduce a new section soon.....Motorcycle Touring. Where we'll give free publicity to all the Tour Companies, Travellers, Book Authors etc to promote their stuff. This also gives me an opportunity to ask the FB Adv Group Admins if I can post a link to this place where I invite these people to promote themselves. So it's a win-win really. The businesses get exposure here and we get exposure on FB. Unless some power tripping FB group admins put the kybosh on it of course! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just checking something on ButtRider......and you're limited to only 10 pics on a Ride Report. It's impossible to get away with only 10 pics when I'm doing abandoned villages and railway stations. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Wouldn't it be nicer if we still had two sections, with one of them limited to real member posts? I know it would be a less volume but it wouldn't wash out our own stuff with bot posts, which ends up being a little uninteresting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally yes.....but we don't get that many bike specific posts in there Pedro. And the news articles do stimulate posting. Ultimately the problem is that we don't have many good threadstarters. XT Alan/Suzuki Al was great at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 Problem is at this stage is we're up against forums (and FB) who have thousands of threads. So we have to try and populate it as best we can until the numbers are much greater. Because nobody wants to sign up to a stagnant or empty forum.

The problem at the moment is that we can't ride (in UK at least) so RR's are non existent, I can do one about my commute to work but no fecker is going to be interested in that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
