A suggestion was made to create a motocross forum, perhaps as a sub-forum to the track forum. What do you think?

I voted 'no opinion' b/c I'm not really into it but not against either.:idk:

 

[Rider]

I'd post there.

 

[Trip]

:iagree:

Shan what is comes down to is this. Do you want people spending more time on TWF or do you want them to have to split time between TWF and some other forum? As a business man, I think you want all the people here on TWF posting as much as possible. :idk: Its your forum, you make the call.

 

[saverok]

I agree with GR_Z750s_rider
but I did vote on the doesn't matter to me. I'm not really in to motorcross that much myself.

I understand that viewpoint, but using that logic should we have a cruiser forum? Maybe a sport touring forum? Maybe a custom chopper forum? Most of us have automobiles, how about a car and truck forum? I want people spending their time here and 90% of the forum posters are men, so how about a babes forum? Where does it end?

We have a pocketbikes forum, for instance. There are only 27 threads in that forum. There are other similar forums on our site with little traffic. I'm not saying motocross would have more or less, that's the point of this poll: to find out the interest.

From a new member standpoint, if I am looking for a forum to spend my time on, I want one with activity. I want one where I know that if I post a question and need help, I'm going to get a response quickly. One way to determine that is to look at the forum traffic. Right now, if I was a huge into pocketbikes, I'd look at our pocketbike forum and continue searching the web for something with more pocketbike traffic.

What's worse, not having a pocketbike forum at all, or having one with little traffic? In my experience you're better off not having one rather than advertising you don't have any traffic.

So, "as a business man" I have to make sure the forum is appealing to both new and old members. :cheers:

i would jump in a dirt forum, but it would have to involve quads, but i would personally love to see a babe forum per your suggestion above , or what about a nws section? and im not talkin about just having a bunch of nuddys on it just some dirty jokes, maybe a more mature section either way :twfrox:

 

[DLIT]

I couldn't care less if it's added.

But I gotta say that at the bottom of the logo it says "Internet's SB community", but it's not uncommon for forums to have different categories either. I know I wouldn't view it much. No interest in MX.

 

[ShanMan14]

And there you have it... so if we made the jump to dirt is the next progression to quads? Now how far have we strayed from "Internet's sportbike community?"

I really appreciate the input. I realize after re-reading my posts I appear anti-MX, but I want to stress I'm not against anything. But, before changes are made I must play devil's advocate and weigh all options.

Keep the comments rolling! :cheers:

It could be interesting the dirt bike I have has pavement oriented scooter tires on it. I am more interested in trail riding and that sort of stuff while I respect motocross I don't follow it very closely or have any interest in doing it. So I say yes have a dirt section but don't call it motocross call it all things dirt or some other kind of catch all name...:idk:

I'd be cool with that, lump all the offroad stuff together.

That;'s a good idea.

I like places that are exclusively one thing. Im a membet at at least 5 forums and this one being the broadest.

 

[ShanMan14]

So far 47% don't care, 37% say no. That leaves 16% that really want the forum.

Keep the poll open a little while longer.

Pssst. You should see the votes in the January BOTM poll.
