The sad thing is that Jons comments about it becoming a bit of a joke over here is pretty accurate. You may think its nonsense that the DSC is seen that way but anyone looking on this forum for the first time is going to have that impression. The weekend before last DuN had a meeting of approx 50 Ducatis up at hartside, I was talking to a group of lads that I had not met before and they were telling me how they had found the DuN website but had also come across this site. I didnt ask the exact details but they basically said they had looked here and everyone was falling out and having a go at each other and they had no interest in that nonsense.
Compared to a year or two ago I feel like I get very little from the DSC but I renewed my membership anyway. I dont really know if I renewed because I hoped things would improve here or whether it was that I feel I have already had more than my moneys worth previously. This club and more recently DuN has enabled me to meet a lot of great people many of which I now see and ride with on a regular basis. I have received loads of help and technical advice etc from many members past and present. I've also tried to help out myself when I am able to. Sadly a few of the folk that welcomed me and made me decide to join are no longer members now and nowhere near as active on the forum as they were. I'm certain that if I had found the DSC now rather than a few years ago I would have probably not joined and looked elswhere instead. If it annoys you that non members/ex members are still having their say then fair enough. But surely the fact that they still come here and have an opinion means they still care about the DSC? I think I would be more concerned with why people such as Henners and JPM are no longer members.
Its still a great club but not half as good as it used to be.
