I never stopped using the @ forum because of the adverts or the corporate bullshit. It was more to do with the clicks and in jokes that made it feel a bit like a private members club. :blush:

Sorry you felt that way Craig, it's something I never experienced.

Good luck with the new forum but for me it just looks like the same old, same old...

First thread I saw was 'what is the best adventure bike' and I just yawned "here we go again", it's been done to death :whistle:

You could just pick up where you left off on the XRV forum, there's no need to re-do the last 1000 threads all over again just because it's a new forum......

All the best with it

That's exactly what we want it to be, except everyones invited to become a private member and be "in" on the jokes and for me that's the club feel that xrv lost. As far as content is concerned, its only as good as it's membership puts into it, we want people with fresh ideas and new subject matter, some of the threads started started in bigtrailie are stuff you've seen before, an empty forum was never going to attract anyone.

I was and I did enjoy it, but I saw to many great threads go unnoticed with barely a reply. Yet if the right people posted "I had toast for breakfast" it would quickly become a 25 page thread on the joys of toast.

I will definitely be signing up to the new forum though as its always nice to have a variety. (thumbs)
