All under the Motorcycle.com network eh
It seems these guys are acquiring all the forms now (Kawi ones anyway)
Guess in the end it's all about $$$$. I don't pretend to know anything about what's required to run one of these forms but the first thing I felt when I tuned into the new format was - We've just lost our identity

I suppose we'll all get used to the new format but I'm gonna take some time to think about becoming a contributor or just go elsewhere. Hope this doesn't put a lot of the members here off because most on this forum are decent folk (not all "clicky & bravado" like on some other forums I'v visited)

also, you should mention on the announcement how to become premium member, what is involved, or who to contact.
Thanks,

Its a generic look.
No effort was put into it...its a template.
Look around at some of the other forums.







Oh, Blue is faster,
and the dark was nice.








MAN.............!!!!!!!!
I click "Preview Post" and 20-25 sec later I get the page!

I dont want to just keep bashing....

I agree, looks like a sell out for to me. Wasn't sure why they didn't try donations to help maintain the website how it was (unique) if it was a money problem. Now it just looks like the rest of the forums to feed the average consumer.
