View Full Version : Cat Fight is Closed
Apparently this forum worked when we were much smaller. However as of lately all it is creating is drama.
So until the Admins can figure out what to do with that area it will remain closed.
I am sorry if this upsets anyone but at this time it needs to be done.

Huh, I was just thinking it was a good idea. Obviously it would be a drama section, wasn't that the point? Instead of every disagreement jacking threads you could take it on there and everyone would still know what was going on if they wanted to. I wondered if it would have worked over on another forum, since people's personal issues kept coming onto every thread (of course, if the mod's did their jobs, then that wouldn't be a problem).
So are you going to do as most forums and have people take their issues offline and patrol the threads for jacking or trolls? Man, I feel for you mods...

I made the decision to close it. When Leah and I started SBG we thought Cat Fight was great and It was til recently. I don't know If we can bring it back. When people start posting they are leaving and sayin how shitty things are here its time to take a step back and let things die down.
Cat fight was our rant area and place to speak our minds but with the right comes drama. The last thing I want to do is cause people to leave.

That makes sense. I thought it was a place to vent about a particular member and get your sides out in the open, not to bash the forum. I haven't looked but I'm sure you have a "forum suggestions" section, right? I guess someone's suggestion could be for it to go to hell lol.

The CatFight area had a noble purpose and it served it's purpose well. I think that most of our staff likes the idea behind having such an area, because it keeps the drama and BS out of more serious threads. However, we tread in shallow water with Cat Fight simply because e-tempers flare too easily. Posting a unanymous rant regardless of whether it's posted about another member or not is often perceived by someone else as a direct attack whether names were named or not and thus, the drama begins.
If you or any member has any suggestions about how we can make it work and benefit both the goals of SBG and our members (after all YOU guys are why we're here) please let us know. We're always looking for ways to make your stay here pleasant and enjoyable.

Maybe it's just me, or maybe it's the day or something else, but today just seems much quieter and calmer on the boards, and I am definitely appreciating it. I don't know if some people are laying low because of the change, or have taken their posting elsewhere, but it's really nice here today. :grin:

Pleasant surprise.

I guess we tell em to knock it off or ignore it. It's their party, we're guests here. That's what I've learned...their ain't no free speech in forums and it is not a democracy. You gotta hope the people running the show have the forum's members best interests in mind.
but what happens when its the admins and mods doing most of the bitching?
Is that a dig?
whatwhat
02-26-2008, 06:29 PM
not a dig, just a question
If I have something to say I am going to say it. Thats not drama it me stating my opinion. If I am not happy with something that affects SBG I will say so. I don't think any mod or admin here is whiny. And personally I would rather be on a site where the forum staff expresses their opinions then just sit around enforcing rules. Alot of yall were not here in the beginning. Yes we have had Staff issues and some staff changes and if there is a problem we have dealt with it. We have worked hard to kill drama before it gets out of hand.
As far as whoever has an issue with me and I know there are a few of you.
I am an outspoken person and I also try and do whats best for SBG. I am usually the bad guy around here and its a role I accept. I am not trying to be everyones best friend. Those who know me, know I am a good person with a very full plate. The reason SBG runs is because of the Staff here. I work hard daily to maintain the technical aspects and try and keep everyone happy site wise.
If you have an issue with any staff member perhaps a pm may settle whatever issue is present.
Let me reiterate SBG is a site for people who love sportbikes. Not everyone here has a bike yet, some have been riding for years, some are interested, some are racers. Everyone is welcome here. You want bike discussion PLEASE create it. Most of the guys on here forget that there are more women than men here and we tend to yap!! We talk about everything. It works for us!
but what happens when its the admins and mods doing most of the bitching?
you cry and bitch some more is what it seems like everyone is doing. ohhh waaaah admin and mods are soo mean they hurt my feelings because i'm overly sensitive and think everything is about me or male bashing or someone is calling me a whore or my mother didn't hug me enough and my father was never home, my dog died, i'm on medication and everyone is picking on me, no one picked me to be on their team, i'm a big ****ing baby.
get over it, and this goes to everyone. when the hell did it become such a big deal that when you go to an INTERNET site it suddenly becomes all that matters to you and your precious little bubbled life? go ride your damn bike, post up a meet and greet, do something in your community.
yes, motorcycle forums, like any and all hobby forums are to bring people together that share the same interest, but that doesn't mean you live, eat, shit and breath for the ****ing internet!
from what i've seen on this site and many many other's is that so many people are so damn wrapped up in what goes online that they have no real life. if you had a real life, whatever it is that is bitched about online wouldn't bother you, and if it did bother you, YOU'D KNOW THAT IN MOST CASES THE PERSON THAT SAID SUCH OFFENSIVE MATTERS LIVES NO WHERE NEAR YOU, DOESN'T EVEN KNOW YOU EXIST OUTSIDE THE FORUM, AND TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT! I don't understand why no one gets that, why it hasn't seeped into anyone's brain yet. amazing.
You go to work everyday and deal with people on a regular basis, you have customers walk in and bitch you out, you have bosses that pick on you, you have managers that have favorites, you have coworkers that don't bathe and yet what do you do then at work? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! BECAUSE YOU ARE THE TYPE TO SIT THERE AT YOUR DESK AND BITCH UNDER YOUR BREATH ABOUT HOW UNFAIR LIFE IS INSTEAD OF DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT! and so you go online and because you can't say what you want in person to the people that piss you off, you get billy bad ass behind a computer screen.
seriously people, if everything is so offensive you should probably just take a deep breath and hold it until the world becomes alittle more sensitve to your individual needs.
Cat Fight is closed, deal with it. and if i'm being a bitch, be thankful that i'm not your SO, your mother, your sister or related to you in any way and take comfort in knowing that.

1. Cat fight is closed and so should this thread be - its all over but the crying - but yet i see this as a new post every time i click new post - please god make it stop
2. If you are not sure about cat fight being opened or closed refer to # 1
3. MP likey the last two replies - very well stated. MP tends to yap as well if you couldn't tell. MP let's his riding do the talking about bikes.
4. Please bash, harass, abuse, misuse me - i will not whine but i will take it and like it
5. If you choose to ignore this reply i wouldn't blame you because although it has some hints of intelligent thought it is basically a steaming pile of human excrement
