Hi Guys and girls, I am chasing feedback on the site. Please let me know what it is you like and dislike about the site. For example "its easy to search but not enough info" or its not easy to search ect. I am looking for member feedback into this as this is a forum for all and has been a member forum since day one. Thanks in advance John VTRStormer Attachments:

John,
When I read that the forum was in danger of closing I shit myself.
I observed the surge in interest when it became apparent that it could fold.
I am also a member of 2 other well known sites and think that this site compares favourably with those .
I don't think that you need to change anything, rather I think that those that are members of this forum need to become more active.
What members think is boring and mundane may well be what new members and visitors alike are looking for.
As the journey with the Storm continues what I take for granted in relation to knowledge and experience could well be the thing that those new to the ownership of a Storm may be seeking.
No matter how big or small the information that current owners / members have it should be available for all.
The only way to improve this forum is for more activity.
Otherwise it's a great site, and your efforts are appreciated.
It does get quiet from time to time.
The moderation on this site is excellent, it just needs more activity.
Just my two bobs worth!
This forum helped my bike go from an ill handling asthmatic piece of shit that had me wondering why I bought it to a bike that I just love, and am constantly looking to improve.

Mate thanks so much for the feedback. Your right it does get quiet from time to time and you may notice that I will try to spark up conversation by posting something I know a lot of people will have a point of view on. Even bringing up oils etc.....just to spark some activity.
I need other members to do the same and even restart older threads that nay be of interest. A lot of members that started these threads may have moved on but I know that I have taken great interest in a lot of the older posts.

I didn't realise this was in danger of closing! That would be a shame!
I'm a member of vtr1000.org and superhawk forum as well, but there is no substitute for local input, knowledge and 'virtual' companionship that is unique to Australia.
I do find the search engine loverly complicated and generally not amazing at returning results but I understand that's part of Proboards functionality and honestly not worth changing. I've held off posting a number of threads because they are too 'newbie' like and after a lot of searching I eventually find what I'm looking for.
Hope this forum stays alive!

Mate I'm with you on the search function but as you said too hard to change...if you get stuck just post and I'm sure you will again find what your after. This site has now been going on for 10 years so you will find we have a lot of newbies on here that have only recently purchased their storm so you might find that your question is wanting to be asked by someone else so post away....
