Har, de, Har, har! I merely mentioned that we seem to have a lot of "off topic" stuff verses bike related stuff... In fact, some guys post nothing but off topic material. I used to block off topic but then I missed some of the personal posts from my "friends" so I unblocked it. When we started this forum, off topic was used mostly for personal threads like Rider's "what would you do" thread, Gas's house thread and the occasional news story or whatever. It was an area where we shared personal tidbits about ourselves, what we do, our families, other hobbies/interests. You know, the kind of stuff that you never share. I have no clue what you look like, what part of the country you live in, what you do... Heck, this is a bike forum and I don't even know what kind of bikes you own ! Although, I do admit that you may have posted that when I had you on ignore... For all I know, you're an obese, 36 year old shut in that lives in your mother's basement!:lol: You make fun of me for posting "uninteresting" things about my motorcycle on this forum, well at least they're motorcycle related for the most part.:wink:

Yea me too. I don't even watch the news from any source. I've already admitted that I'm too curious for my own good, so it would be better if I could block it. Like I said, I used to block "off topic" completely but I missed a thread from Gasman about his dog so I unblocked it. I want the personal, "I bought a pair of pants threads" rather than the news items. I am interested in what some of the people on this forum do, I have almost zero interest in what strangers do.:idk:

Did you miss the "no"? Initially, I thought you wanted a news only forum but towards the end, I got the impression that you don't...:lol:
I don't understand why it's a "shitty dynamic" to only have people interested in that sort of thing in there. I mean, since you guys joined up, we've had a Fla sub-forum, a ladies sub-forum, etc. Why not a "news" section? It'll allow those that aren't interested to block it and everyone else can leave it open. What's wrong with that?
I clicked on "new posts" and got approx 20 hits, 17 of which were "off topic" and 15 of those were news items, What's wrong with making it possible for me and other like minded individuals to block these if we choose? How does it harm or affect anyone else? You don't have to block the news section, right?:lol:
