I don't really think the WPR2 site should reduce it self to the seductivness of porn to attract viewership. But I would like to start a thread to generate ideas to increase activity on the board. Especially, to re-state #5's comments that it is easier to follow a thread of ideas in a forum like this, than to decode 10 emails.
I got involved because I wanted to attempt to organize a calander of rides. This forum thing was kind of ancillary to what I wanted to do, so I didn't put a ton of effort into it, and I got out what I put in; a turd. Also, the forum links got botched early on, causing people to have to re-register, and I'm sure that didn't get us out of the blocks too well. The spring had a bubble of activity, but in general, there seemed to be alot going on in peoples lifes, and with their bikes to get the season really moving. The riding season picked up greatly, but the board had long since shot-its-wad (so-to-speak) and here it is...........stale.
I have some ideas (other than porn) to spice things up, but I would like to hear from the viewership what it would take to visit the site regularly, and get the threads on here instead of email. I'll implement whatever we decide.
#1101, why is your Dilbert guy mad? Is there a message or feeling you want to communicate? Come on, you're among friends (albeit very few friends in this forum), just "come out" and say it. Is there something you want to "come out" and say?
I'll go first. I love eating mellon. Mellon is awesome. I could eat mellon every nite. Although I have only one type of mellon I am allowed to eat, I sometimes dream about trying other types of mellon. Mellon is how I know God exists. Mellon rules, quite literally. I will do anything to get more mellon. If mellon ever said to me if I go riding one more time that I wouldn't get any more mellon, I'm not sure what I would do. But I would try to convince mellon that I won't be home late any more. then I would beg for more mellon. I don't care how foolish this makes me look, I need to have mellon on a regular basis or I become very hard to deal with. Mellon knows this but chooses to withhold mellon from me anyway. this puzzles me. if mellon knows that I love mellon, and need it regularly, why wouldn't the bitch... ahem, I mean mellon just give it to me anyway? this is why men are from Mars and mellon is from venus. at this point in my life, I wish I didn't care so much for mellon any more. but, alas, I still love mellon. and so will continue to cut the lawn, take out the garbage, paint things, fix **** and do whatever mellon tells me to do so maybe I can get some mellon later that week.
so here's my point: please don't put pictures of mellon on this website because that will just make my balls hurt. thank you.
Let me first say the I would pay BIG $$$ to spend a day inside your head #5. I'm very curious what REALLY goes on in there. It strikes me as a friendly place, yet mysterious and perverted; closley aligned with mine I might add.
Metaphorically, by melon, you are suggesting a smooth, slippery, wet fruit, free of any fiberous exterior like the coconut or kiwi, correct? Yes then, I am a HUGE fan of the melon also, but I'm made to eat kiwi. I implore the kiwi to first let me peel it before eating, to make it look more like melon, but no! The kiwi insists that in principal, the peel remain on but trimmed back; maybe this is why Dilbert is mad. Or maybe, like you #5, unless we're eating melon or kiwi, respectivly, on a regular basis, a crankiness sets in. In general, I want way more kiwi then is being served up. I've suggested bringing more kiwi's to the fruit bowl (no bananas) this does not work. I've suggested hanging the kiwi from a structural member in the house, this does not work either. I've suggested using new and different electical devices to help the kiwi; shot down again.
I don't know how alike Melon and Kiwi are, but you may want to set a Melon eating schedule to set the expectations up front. This is a fierce negotiation, however make for fruit-bowl bliss when the expectations are up-front and understood.
#1101, what is #2 talking about??? we're just talking about fruit. good fruit. To be clear, I was not aiming at a certain type of fruit, just fruit. Mellon just popped into my mind.
I see the two pictures now when I log in, and I must say, the gorilla made me laugh out loud. Clearly we are harmless old men.
The porn question has been officially put down. close this thread. #2, you can come back now.
