They seem to get deleted ... Funny thing is they  seem to get most views and most responses that any other making them really the most popular.

Obviously having been fairly prolific in the art I am all for keeping it real  :coolsmiley:

Shame really as people have multiple things to say in a negative thread yet only a coupe of words about someone's hard earned classy build, loads of new build threads struggle to get past 2 pages of posts yet the "other" threads have page after page.

Do the threads hit raw nerves with people? Genuine members will be fed up with rediculous prices through greed.

Yep, well said Nick :daumenhoch:

Guys it's simple - if you think the part is too expensive and being sold by a chancer, don't buy it. What you need usually comes by eventually and I've found over the years on here that if you hold a conversation with other members and get to know them, they will try and help you out so stick a wanted add up :coolsmiley:

Totally agree. So much effort is put into a lot of builds on here and when viewed, you see 120+ page views and 3 comments  :-\

It only takes a second to thank someone for their hard work and dollars spent in providing us with something beautiful to look at.

I'm not sure how to take that comment  ???

There are plenty of people who know each other in real life that have met through MK or the meetings that are organised
They are also sometimes called friends  :teef:

I'm not aware of any tribal activity going on though


There are a few arseholes as well but thankfully not many (and they usually get called out)

What  ::) he said.

Over the years I've met quite a few people off here  :daumenhoch:

At the end of the day its what you make it  :daumenhoch:

Classic example is today

I've got an old bmx racer coming all the way up from London to Bromsgrove with his kids to have lunch with me.......and play with the horses  :shocked:

He builds nice Revcore's too  :4_17_5:

What ever happened to freedom of speech?

Yes, the thread was tiresome and the flipping issue comes up many times a year, but people have views so let them air it.

Should it be locked or deleted because the mods are bored of it?

Surely the original thread would have run it's course by now anyway and dropped into the bowels of Rad

Just out of interest , did you go to MK this year or attend any of the rides out which are held in towns and City's throughout the UK   ???

You are right, there is a freedom of speech, and the mods and admin do their level best to let things go, however to see this brought into various other threads such as the for sale section, lounge and resto is all a tad boring, and its the same idiots banging on about it.

Pity like the others have said, that other more interesting threads like bike builds don't attract the same attention.

It'll never be stopped, it could be bmx's, cars, antiques, jewellery what ever

People will argue from both sides why or why not

But at the end no one holds a gun to anyone's head to buy anything at any price, we all have a choice

I do agree that the flipping threads were just going around in circles

All of this ridiculous petty moaning about said subject matter (which will never change) has to be age related (http://i1008.photobucket.com/albums/af203/middlefingermom/angry-old-man-smiley-emoticon.gif) (http://media.photobucket.com/user/middlefingermom/media/angry-old-man-smiley-emoticon.gif.html)

What have all these recent flipping threads achieved (other than establishing certain peoples incomes and that some swim in the sea whilst eating Cod & Chips in their lunch hours )  :pilky:

Just move on and enjoy your builds, enjoy your bikes, stop all the negativity and make the most of your hobby 8)
