Do you recomend BCF?

Hex · Party Boy Joined: 04 Feb 2002 Karma :

More a question for the peeps who've been around the forum for at least a year and a half or more really.

Up to a year ago I would of recommended BCF to anyone that had an interest in bikes or even a problem relating to them, but lately I find I'm reluctant to.

Why? Well I guess it could be the amount of shite posts the forum gets, or the uncalled for attacks from some members when someone posts a question which may not be simple to them, but perceived as simple to the keyboard warriors out there.

May be a combination of these factors mean I'm slightly embarrased to be associated with such immaturity? Or even concerned that if I recommend the site to a person with a problem they may just find themselves been hounded by the wolves.

So.... do you still recommend BCF?

Yes I still recommend BCF.

Why?

Because you do get a lot of help here, with the likes of Kickstart etc. Its also good for just a wind down at the end of the day, you can just type drivel and get things out your system. Its good for a laugh when you can laugh at the little bitches arguing, and Gamma's stories! Karma

I recommend it, just not the Offtopic Section or Fights and Flames. Apart from that it's a good place for information, General Bike Chat and Workshop give a good place for newbies to ask questions and have them answered.

But a cull is still needed. Thumbs Up

i wouldnt see why not, people can filter the crap out, who knows they mite like it!

theres a wealth of knowledge here so i cant see it being a problem i havnt had a problem with personal attacks or stupid questions to answers.

i can see your point though

I used to recomend it, not so much anymore, n00bs get a fucking hard time of it round here and it's not even the long standing members dishing it out, it's a load of people who compared to a lot are still n00bs themselves and feel they need to act big on the internet because they have no friends in the real world.

Personally the only reason I'm still here is because of the friends I made before the forum become full of shit, if they all left, I would without a seconds thought.

I don't tell as many people about it as I used to but I still have the URL plastered on the back of the cat.

I tell anyone that i recon needs help on advice from people that wont try to sell them something (ie: most bike salesmen). And if you ignore all the pish, the place is acctually REALLY handy. Its kinda like a knowlage database with real people! Plus i tend to find the Regional parts are alot more friendly. This could be because people that are regional have similair lifestyles, or the fact that most of the time they are close enough to come kick you in if you start being a tit. Or maybe the Scots are just the best type of people Laughing

. Either way, a few people (including myself) tend to post topics in the regional forum that would usually involve some arsehole directing you to a page holding the info on the topic of the thread, while really your looking for an OPINION.

Honest answer? Only to give others a good giggle at some of the recent threads. Gamma, Siggi and Markcatate have all provided several of my non-bcf internet buddies with some light entertainment recently.

Or to quote one of them: "Fuck me, it's better than Eastenders!"

Sorry Korn. Embarassed

I will sometimes advise people to register here (if they haven't already) and PM a couple of people if they need specific advice about things that I know they can be helped with.

I would recommend it and have in the past,
I look at this forum of more of a community than just a place to get info and advise,
I think that IMO being a community you have to take all the stuff that comes along as it does in real life.

By the way i still class myself as a n00b around here so maybe I'm a bit paranoid but posts like these i take as your talking about me when saying we need a cull. Crying or Very sad

I would have but its a bit gay around here now, i'm probably partly to blame. I only come on here because the only other thing i know on the internet is porn and i have too many pc's at home and work so i am usually on one quite alot and porns not always the best thing to look at Shifty

I have tried not coming back but i can't help it, its like a crack addiction. Shocked

BCF is great, well was. Only so many 'new' topics you can get before they keep getting regurgitated.

I somewhat feel the original members don't post as much because there are a lot more members on here these days? So it doesn't have that 'homely' feel it used to...I could be talking pap here, correct me if I'm wrong but that is the jist I'm getting from 'you' lot.

I know what you mean though, perhaps I may be considered one of those people but a certain number of folk on here have...well...made this board somewhat 'predictable'. Naming no names. Smile

Still, without it, I wouldn't have met the great people that I have done and hope to meet more. So in that case, given the opportunity, I would recommend BCF. Regional, workshop and exchange in mart sections are great. Thumbs Up

BCF is grate for anyone getting in to biking,,,, i mean if you have a problem and post in workshop lots of people are willing to give help... Mr. Green

the forum has lots of members which means lots of different opinions so there is bound to be disagreement we just have to live with it... Thumbs Up

Jesus H christ shaun your making a lot of sense in this thread! Shocked

Even I am beginning to tire with a lot of the threads of recent, plus the forum seems to have got to the point that every few weeks the same or a variation of the same thread is posted.

There is only so many times you can be helpfull reccomending 125's to people. After all they NEVER really listen to what you have to say and do what they were going to do anyways.

Then there is the insurance threads etc. I quite often now ignore a lot of threads, something a short while ago I wouldnt have done.

Having said that I rarely post elsewhere on the basis I know who people are on here, met a lot of very cool people off here too so they know who I am.

There is still a lot of people I would like to meet because they have done me favours having never even met me before. I would like to say thanks to them in person.

I do think there are some members that just post everywhere and I get very bored with that.

I could go on but I will stop.
