these forums are really for the people who are not close to the industry/sport if you think about it. theyre more for the casual fan or technical people who are hardcore do-it-yourselfers. a pro rider/racer just cant be part of the forums with all the crap involved. look at what happens to the shops too. its all just a matter of time. the more $$/interest you have in an industry, the less-tied to the internet you can be to it. period. even stewart's had it out with people on Mototalk. how stupid is that? can you imagine bagging on stewart online? reed? carmichael? dam, even the bottom 10 guys like a summey or a skinner (who is a FL local and i've had the HONOR of riding on the same track with). stupid stupid.
