I then was confident enough to organise a rideout or to and then onto help with running the site and organising the AR.

What I'm badly trying to say is that If I'd been banned from posting in certain sections, TBH I'd probably have just f*cked off somewhere else and then I wouldnt have had the opportunity to contribute and give something useful back. I also wouldnt have met my current other half ( she'd probably tell you this is a good thing sometimes ) also I wouldnt have made any of the friends that I have either.

No, you couldn't ban yourself. Special dispensation for 'Super Members' like lol and anyways, you wouldn't qualify as you post good shoite(read, 'stuff of value')

And to cover all bases, even if you did think of it(cos you nice like that), you would be banned from banning yourself

I'm not so sure about that Phil...the only thing I and Bluey have in common is, we are both awesome on a bike

Good idea mate, then we can just have endless debates about which is better curvy or pointy, which is the fasteset colour and how to swap the front end for GSXR one, or ban all members that dont have an SV anymore
nice to see back btw Ben

Thanks Stewie

Hey, you post makes it sound like we have got too much drizzle going on, in other sections hehe....

You no longer have an SV, right? .
Ah well, we have to knock the banning of 'non SV owners' on the head then

All opinions noted, and most I agree with, like 'if you don't like IB, stay out'. I posted this thread in Idle Banter in order to make sure that the chat-like nature it would doubtless attain would be contained in the right place.

However, one point I would make -

Refer back to my original post and you will notice I never actually mentioned Idle Banter, merely 'chat' - I too don't have a problem with IB as an entity, but I don't spend a huge amount of time posting in IB, preferring generally to stick to the more serious areas of the forum.

What I was referring to was the seemingly exponential increase in the number of non-IB threads descending into one-to-one chat.
