As much as I hate to say it, we are going to have to install a new forum.
This will mean the current forum will be gone, including all members and content. :/
But it is a must do. The new forum will be integrated into the main site, and have a single login for everything. Which can be done through facebook, twitter, etc.
We have been exploring options for months, and this is the only stable way to do it.
It will be an entirely new forum, with much more options and a cleaner layout.
We haven't set a date for the upgrade yet, but it will be very soon. More than likely this week/end.
The transition should only take a few hours once started, I hope you guys will come back and join us.
Re-Registration will be a snap and can be done through the new forum/fb/twitter/etc.
Thanks for all the support guys!

Thats alot of good information.

I hope you do find some way of keeping the old posts though because I found them all really interesting, before I joined I read through almost every post on here.

So are you saying all previous posts will be lost.?
Thats alot of good information.
I agree there should be some way to archive the data and re-deposit it back to the new forum. Doesn't sound right.

Insert QuoteI can't stand facebook over post. I delete people like that. Its so annoying seeing the same person the whole facebook page posting about stupid stuff.
Start posting like facebook for the next couple of days. You will be there.

Only 117 more to go Ford
I'll let you catch up.
Only a couple of days to go.
Who does have the most posts.? (I can't be buggered looking.)
Jetz maybe. Oh I do miss the boy wonder.
I would guess the most posts per day would be cnrcpla.
Rambling finished.

Anyone got me beat? TMKIWI you have the most posts here, by the way.

I won,t be able to get on the site then, if you say you have to register threw facebook or twitter-for rich folks. I tried to reg. on facebook twice, I never received a password. I,m sure there,s 30% of others that have the same problem. I would keep the registration as simple as possible, with a phone # listed to help people register. Because other older riders are like me, and don,t know squaut about computers. If they get jammed trying to register, they will end up being lurkers-guest. The riders from other countries will never call for help, since there time zone is way off. I was a lurker for over 2 years, because I couldn,t get registerd on this site. If registation is not super basic, there won,t be many folks on the site.
You sound like my dad lol

I was wondering about good old JETZCorp the other day. Wonder what ever happened to him, he must have had thousands of posts..... Hope he didn't go over to the dark side and get rid of his old Kawi's & Husky's!
I just had a quick look and Jetz hasn't been on here since July 2011.
1695 posts by the way.
Maybe he had 1 too many shocks blow on his Maico.
Post by: ford832 on May 02, 2012, 09:59:37 PM
I blame you TMKIWI Come to think of it, haven't seen opfermanmotors around much either in the last few months.I liked his vintage stuff and projects.
It's nice of you to stop and let me catch up on post counts TMKIWI.Maybe if we ever get a chance to go for a ride together,I'll return the favour.

I just finished up installing a good anti spam registration mod to get rid of the spam. Ethan layed some spam bans down, If you do see some come through just click the report button. I also installed facebook/twitter integration for registration/login. I know some of you guys don't like them, but social networks are a must. It puts TSM in front of thousands daily. As soon as we get the forum functioning the way we want it, we will work on the layout. Let me know if there are any features you would like to see on the forum and we'll see if we can get them.

Kind of like something on facebook. That way we can have our off topic rambling on a chat thing instead of on the forum posts and stuff. Just a thought
