I just replied to a thread on another forum and got a message back that made no sense to me. This was my post: "I put a Next R on my R50X. The only issue I had to make a hanger for it, the one that came with it wasn't even close. It was loud with the open intake."
This was the message:"hey pinkscoot,
just to remind you that there is no posting of links to parts.
your account will be deleted if there are any more postings .
i sell parts and i run this website so please don't violate the TOS"
I know there are several forums out there that are run by people that just want to steer the members to their products but this was a little heavy handed. I guess because he doesn't sell Tecnigas I can't mention them. Its why I avoid posting on other forums. I'm going to save him the trouble and delete my own account.

Yeah, I like this forum. The admin is laid back and makes the place fun to be at. Even if you poke fun at him sometimes.

I'm over it, I deleted my account. It is really the slowest forum I have been on. There were 2 new threads this month and of course there is very little information on products that work.

Well, I made fun of Brent once, and he jumped on his scooter and drove to Kentucky and beat the crap out of me. So, I don't think I will be doing that again, ha ha. Bill (The above post is supposed to be a joke so, please do not think I was serious) |

The first scooter forum I joined was like that. Many people got warned or kicked for trying to ask a question about a part that the forum's site didn't sell. You were only allowed to post about parts from their site. It made the forum rather useless for many tasks. I didn't hang around there long.

No mentioning the Next R pipe for a TGB. Is there another pipe available?

I know some forums are run to promote a business, but saying you can't mention other brands is crazy. The point of most forums is to share information, good or bad. |

I visit other forums. If you read enough, you can see how the politics work. This forum is by far the best out there.

No not Provoscooter, at least he's up front about the forum being part of his business model. It was TGB forum, I was looking for info on the stator for my r50x. Not surprisingly I have found much more in depth information on the subject here. |

Not surprisingly I have found much more in depth information on the subject here. That makes perfect sense. I think that ALL of the other scooter forum Admins get their info from Brent and his informative videos. Brent could test this theory by making a video and adding a made-up word for a component and then see if, low and behold, that fake word turns up in general use in the other forums, ha ha. Sort of like the CIA's Canary Trap. (This was used to track down folks leaking classified info) Bill |
