The first month or so sucked, cause there was so much CF random off topic banter that you couldn't find the "normal" posts, and we didn't know any of ya yet so the background wasn't there for the stories. Now it's much better.

I found twowheelfix right when it got abandoned and I am glad I found my over here.

This forum could always use new people but the current people are just great too.

twowheelfix hasn't been abandoned? it's right here
Think you mean twowheelforum...

And yet one wonders, if they are buying these sites that are wildly successful and popular already, why CHANGE everything about it that makes people stay? If they just left things alone, with slight changes, versus redoing everything and changing all the rules, they wouldnt go down in flames like they do...and most users would never have a clue...

Thats exactly right...and look at teh end result of their changes. I can assume they buy the forums b/c they are successful boards with a lot of activity. They come in and change everything...and everyone leaves and board activity drops to near zero.

You'd think they would catch on after the first couple.

I bet they make their money back in the first few months after each site is sold, and after that they get paid per click of each random dude that goes through looking up an old topic. Hell I probably made them $5 last night looking for the thread where I talked shit to myself for 2 hours.

i see excessa posted up how she doesnt miss all of us, guess shes happier by herself

Seems my friends from the NY forum are staying put, so I am in there somewhat regularly since we used CF to plan our rides and gatherings and that sort of stuff.
