Some interesting points and good to see some reasoned discussion. Loz, in my mind hits the nail on the head - peoples tastes (and bikes) change and while I'm sure lots just come here looking for Ducati info, others might now just browse and not post at all. But, if no-one posted here, the information would not be available and the message board could just be a calendar of events instead! I think A888SP's post is a constructive one but, since I'm now a member of the webteam my own usage of the site has changed totally. Instead of being able to browse over all sorts of forums, I now seem to only do webteamy type stuff and browse the 'SS' forum when I get chance - so I'd be interested to hear why people think their usage of the site has changed? I'm sure a lot of people did get very sick of the old server/software situation and constant outages but hopefully those users will return and post more regularly now that the problems have been solved. Also to answer A88SP's question about offensive posts - it just happended to be bad timing that the posts appeared during a heavy workload for the Weteam and no-one actually reported them for sometime, as mentioned previously we now rely quite a bit on people reporting offensive posts other wise we might not see them ourselves. FINALLY - the new constitution has been hand posted with the copy of Pronto and is very worthy of consideration. Kind Regards - Frank DSC Webteam |
