i agree with harrison. i have noticed that noobs start a tread asking a question and it will go unanswered. they will post the same question on pwct and people from here will answer it over there but not here. if this sport is going to grow then main people that know soo much need to share their info when people ask questions not just leave them hanging. by doing this it will help the sport grow and get more people interested. with this kind of stuff going on it makes it look as if this site does not want noobs. this is just my opinion and observations.


I try to answer as many questions as possible over on PWC Today.

I also take calls in the evening for ski help.:biggthumpup:

there are people that do, and i see you answer all the time mark44, but there are the treads that go unanswered when they could be answered easily. i don't know much but if i have the knowledge then i am willing to share and answer questions.

and now we return to our regularly scheduled program "thread hi-jack 2010"

:dunno: if you are referring to me but this topic is site attitudes and when simple questions go unanswered then it looks like the people that know don't care or want to help. remember it says post reply - be respectful. when no one replies on this site and they get the answer on pwct from some one that could have answered it over here but did not it looks like you have to be in a clique to fit in over here. like i said this is an observation and my opinion. we as a group have to help noobies with what we can. Every one needs to remember we where all noobies at one time.

"just go to the local Walgreens and purchase a box of "shut the hell up", they come in individual wrapped packages."

This product sucks, dont buy it. All you need is a cold 12 pack of CL in bottles.


OOPS , is that post dumping. LOL JK BK

so when some one points out problems they see, and i was not rude about it or call any one out that does this, and i get told to lighten up and i guess told to shut the hell up. i am an easy going person. mark44 did exactly what BK is wanting. the other two are trying to make a joke out of a serious problem that they don't want to see. maybe that is because they are guilty of this action? i am not trying to start problems just get some fixed that makes some people view this site as a clique and not a pwc site.

hey, i know people don't like having problems pointed out. But if we want to grow the sport then every one has to be on the same page, no pun intended. if we ignore people that ask questions on this site, then they go somewhere else. is this what we want? for people to not want to be at this site. it has been more friendly at pwct since they replaced the admin than it has been around here lately. if any one does not believe that then why is superjett leaving? why this thread and the zero tolerence policy? because it is a problem.

the only couch rider, you did not say shut the hell up. i understand smiles, but some times this has to be resolved not joked about and pushed under the rug.

You are correct Wayne it has been more friendly over there recently,there were some black days over there last year also,these things seem to run in cycles so hopefully it will correct it self eventually,every site has its good days and bad days.It seems this site is just experiencing some growing pains,its nothing different than any other web site has experienced and it will all work out hopefully.

it's not pushed under the rug but by posting in this thread it is still bumped to the top with out being sticky'd if it is sticky'd then people will only see it when they click on the site info forum.

if my motives were for negative means, then i would have been alot worse than what i really was :biggthumpup:
 
you know, I have thought about just doing away with smilies, sometimes they cause more trouble because people do not always read the tone with them.


that's takes away half the fun then:biggrin: :bs2: :cat05: :smile: :skull2: :bigeyes: :cool2: :hail: :Banane01: :haha: :banghead: :cheer: :sneaky: :woot: :frown: :arms: :rolleyes: :purr:

To me it seems that there is no real "resolution" for any of the problems. It has only been in the past like 2 weeks where I saw any real problems arising here. Attitudes cannot be fixed. The people that have bad ones dont realize that they do.

Remember, in the end its just a website, and does what someone says on the internet really bother you that much?

What's the Difference Between a Group of Friends and a Clique?

Friendship groups are normal and healthy. It's nice to feel you belong and fit in. It's good to know you have friends to hang out with. Being part of a group can help people develop relationship skills, feel close to others, get and give support, share ideas, discover what's important to them, and have fun.

Usually, friendship groups form around the things people have in common. So skaters, jocks, Goths, preps, punks, and even the math club are naturally drawn together because they share the same values and interests. The people in these groups feel they have a place where they are welcome and supported, and where they can be themselves, quirks and all.

Some groups stick together for a long time. Others drift apart after a while as people develop new interests, make different friends, or just find they have less in common. People can move in and out of different groups and can even be part of several at the same time. Even within a group, people often have one or two friends they feel closest to and enjoy the most.

Some friendship groups seem pretty flexible and welcome people to join in. Others seem much more restricted, though. People in these groups make it clear that not just anyone can be part of their crowd. That type of restricted group is sometimes called a clique.

every site is made up of Cliques, big deal........... look the the TCJetpilots on PWCToday..............

this whole site is a Clique of Freeriders, inside this Clique there is sub cliques.......... when I go racing, there is a whole group of us (most are on the site here also) that hangs out, we pit together, go eat together, share hotel rooms together, that is another Clique................

But here is the deal, each person here needs to try and help out the other........ We did not always know what we know now....

Example, I remember a guy from somewhere near ST Louis contacted me about some paint questions before he painted his ski............ you help out........ you post your expericences, or if you just dont know, pop in and say "Hey, shoot Bob a PM, he may know your answer"............
 
i think this goes back to what jesse said, he nailed it on the head.

the difference is, some people do it for fun, some people do things to stir the pot. no matter how many/which smilies you use, it's easy to discern one from the other.

just my .02

this site kicks ass. anyone who hates it, doesn't agree with the way it's run, doesn't see what's being accomplished here, ..etc. etc... don't let the door hit you on the way out.. seriously. you guys DO NOT rule this forum with an iron fist. you guys are very leniant.... ive gotten outta hand in the past, and it's been my own fault, noone else's.

i don't know. i think this site is awesome. it's just a weird month. next month, noone will remember half this crap probably.



:hail: :hail: :hail: :hail:

amen brotha... i think this site is jsut going through it's yearly pms cycle that's all
