...not gonna be anyone left to go to the new site at this rate:-( Don't think so. There's always folk which can't agree with common agreements. Some of them like to slam the door loudly when they leave while being huffy. Again: this is just an internet forum being replaced. Nothing important really.

then it's up to us to make sure we don't let it go downhill Kokolis. if you didn't witness the "banter" on the old site it's hard to understand why the moderation will hopefully be a lot stricter and when things get out of hand, take it to facebook, that's full of knobs who like nothing better than an argument over nothing (i don't include the OSS FB page). we're all jerks sometimes but it needs someone to moderate and tell us when the banters going OTT and with proper sanctions. i trust the new mod mob to dish it out when required but it won't be such an issue if the rules are laid down fair and square so we all know where we stand and what action is likely if we fuck up. as i've said before, no-one likes to be the bad guy but sometimes it needs a bad guy to pull 2 or more bad guys apart. it was a minority that effectively turned the site into a bitch fest and some members got dragged in because there was little that could be done. I'm hoping that URL's will be easier to block these days so reappearing as another persona will be less of an issue (and yes, there was a certain member who just wanted to cause trouble). you can't tip the odds to ensure it can't possibly happen but you can make it a lot less likely.
OSS only lost its fun factor when certain dickheads believed they could use it to insult and generally make an arse of themselves which was their intended purpose, it needs the members to police it to a certain extent.
as has already been mooted, this is an internet forum, not the local pub, if you want a fight do what old twats like me used to do and take it outside, other people aren't that interested.

FfS here we go again I was a member on the original OSS site for many years, from what I remember it went down due to a combination of high server costs & patric stepping away to lead his own life without the responsibility & cost of running the site. PP with the help of others took over the name & moved to a different server which proved unreliable through no fault of their own, most of the bitching there seemed to be a result of that unreliability, there were a few knobheads but they either got told to feck off were banned or simply ignored until they stopped posting. Imho this site has been a great stopgap, has been well moderated & could continue to function for anyone who does not like the new site, I for one will reserve judgement until I have seen what's what Now if you don't want to be here or on the new site that's fine with me but please don't make a song & dance about it, remember its only the net after all not real life All the best whatever you decide guys

I will try the new site, but I'm a fan of most big Suzuki's not just the "Old Skool"
Many of the folk on here have a huge knowledge of all things Suzuki, many use newer parts like fat back wheels and USD front ends that certainly aren't Old Skool to upgrade their bikes. I like my air and oil cooled bikes, but also have a passion for the later water cooled bikes and stuff like the GSX1400 which is easily as Old Skool as a Bandit.
Always been a fan of the 3 Air / Oil / Water type sections. Lots of info from smart people.
I'm happy to buy Practical Sportsbikes magazine but I don't write letters to the editor because the contents isn't all Sportsbikes. It is what it is and works well. I like that.
I hope the new forum works well, and I hope we don't lose some smart and helpful people because its more focused than it has to be.
All the best. Tony.J.
