Leave him on your enemies list rather than wasting any more of your time. Every time you remove him from your enemies list for the purpose of rating one of his posts, he wins. You're giving him exactly what he's looking for; a reaction from you.
When you stop giving him what he's wanting then he'll find something else to do as it'll be very boring for him without you taking the bait. |

Take away nobcat and Ste (eventually) turns into a sensible poster and Skudd stops trolling.

As an occasional poster / reader ... it strikes me that not much has really changed other than the rotation of socks / usernames.
It's helpful in the places you want it to be and if you don't want or need help, there is abuse and trolling aplenty.
Makes a good forum as far as i'm concerned - it's not exactly mumsnet in here yet is it ____________________ Module 1 and 2 passed - October 2014. Happy owner of a 2017 Z1000SX, ex owner of a YBR125 / CB500 / VFR800. |

Just been told by the folks that it is a HARD NO for the BBQ... fuck. I'll keep working on them but they say they have plans for the land next year that will prevent us using it.
I'll see what I can do. |
Leave it mate, your folks owe us absolutely nothing and they never signed up to be a regular venue for us reprobates to come down every year and shit in their fields. Their land is their livelihood and I couldn't in good conscience come down and party knowing I was inadvertently thinning their wallets.
It's not your responsibility to try and solve the BBQ crisis either. Half of my gripe is that you haven't had a chance to put your feet up properly at a venue that wasn't yours and enjoy yourself, as being on your own turf has meant that you've always been on duty in some way shape or form, and it's high time you had a year where the only thing you had to worry about was who was going to do the next crawl to the beer bucket or roll the next doobie.

This forum has definitely become quieter. I used to be spoilt for choice with threads and spend hours soaking it all in, not anymore. We did have a much larger pool of regular posters and many seem to have left the forum for good without even the courtesy of a farewell flounce post.
There used to be a lot more freedom. I think Ste's posts got me a verbal warning from my boss a couple of times as you could never tell what you would find when opening a thread. "not safe for work" tags probably saved my job.
I think a lot of people lost interest as soon as they fell foul of the new rules and their accounts got banned. It takes a long time to build karma and even though people claim they don't care, it shows a vested interest and gives you a bit of status. Then on top of that, the perceived seniority of the date you joined also gives you the sense of belonging. Losing that can be enough to say, "fuck it, they don't really care here, I'm off".
My issue is time. I went through a house build which I documented here, I had kids, I moved house and got a new job etc.. It all meant less time to dedicate to it. I'm still frequenting the forum daily but rarely post... mostly because my life has become a groundhog day'esque existence of parenting monotony which is hardly winning reading material. Once I'm through these early years I'll start posting a bit more often.
How to fix this?? I have no idea. I do like the sound of having instant notifications similar to facebook notification drop down list to show the changes etc. But that takes money. I am bored of reading peoples opinions of political goings on, I keep hearing the same opinions over and over again and it's even cropped up in this thread. The only people that care are the 2 or 3 people verbally abusing each other. Everyone else just scrolls past and wishes they would STFU.

Bubbs has already offered up his Dad's place. Wonderful place for a party tbh.
It's a shame that he hasn't managed to get to one that isn't at his place. |
Count me in then.
Where and who do I pay?
I'm already looking forward to it. |
I'm buttering the old man up for the place next year. I'm also waiting on the announcement from Welsh Road Race (Welsh TT) so that we can tie in with that. Once I get everything firmed up my end I'll chuck a thread up to announce. As usual we will have:
- Clay pigeon shooting
- Digger driving
- Maybe 4x4 driving on John Deere Gator
- Ripping around fields and forests on dirt bikes (bring your own)
- Nice roaring fire
- No sound restrictions all night
- plus more things as they come to me... |
Righto
I'm in.
Just read the rest of the thread shame it can't be. ____________________ VFR800FI, YZF600R Thundercat and FZS 1000 |

I could probably make a new BCF forum from scratch if people so wished. With the notifications and stuff too. And no loss of karma for saying bad words you cunts.
Would take a while though as it would be a spare-time project, in a life already filled with programming. |

Re OP, we're camping ATM and so the BCF mugs have been dug out. Looking at the names on them brings home the subject of this thread.
Bearing in mind that these mugs weren't made that long ago, as well as the fact that one had to pay extra to gave one's name on them, at least half those members dont post anymore.
Some of them have been quiet for so long that I'd forgotten that I'd forgotten them. Yet 3 or so years ago, they cared enough to pay Marm extra, to have their name on a BCF mug.
Oh how things change, sigh.
I really hope that we can have a getogether somewhere next year, all the BBQs have been brilliant and great bonding sessions. Theres no date for a Tourtech event as suggested by Bubbs, so we need to keep and eye out for suitable events\venues.
For 2018 there's still this
https://nobullbeerandbikes.co.uk
Its less than 8 miles from us, but before anyone accuses us of self-interest, we cant go because we're on the Isle of Man. ____________________ Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you're probably right |

You've still got a bike and still in the SE? I'm going to assume that the SE section is still beating the tarmac? |
Yes, although we've NOT done Mayday, Margate, Southend, Brightona, Loomies, Ace, Lile Karting, Santa Pod, Trackdays or anything that has happened previously. Everyone is too busy and split/moved away.
Instead we did one big trip to Austria in July.
Instead of group rides, I've just gone out on my own. Which I think keeps me happier more of the time. |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 5 years, 285 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
