you know what's frustrating? that no matter how many times you try to explain something people just ignore you and make up what they think you're saying.
for me, and I'm kinda the one who started it, it's not about bikes at all, it's about people.
let's go through it once more, but without the bikes.
someone asked for a subforum to one of the slowest forums on the cabe. this made me scratch my head, why would you need a new sub forum for a very slow section? but then I notice what brand they are asking for, and I notice that their is a already a subsection for that brand in the other, more busy section. so I begin to wonder, why would collectors of one brand want their stuff segregated from the rest of us? do they really despise the other brands so much that they want to make sure they can filter the rest of us out?
none of this has anything to do with the merits or demerits of any bike at all, it has to do with people.
so, let's be fair about it. we should have subsections for every specific brand, or no brand specific subsections at all.
that's my opinion, there is no winning or losing, to say that was just childish, I never tried to stop that section, I just posed the question as to whether it was necessary at all. if I wanted I could call people and complain and throw a fit and petition, but that would be just as childish as wanting a brand specific subforum for my brand.
keep your subforum, I really don't care, but ask yourself why you can't just join the rest of the hobby.
