YEah it's a bunch of old farts, trying to figure out why the hell there is a "LIKE" button... WTH? Did we suddenly become little girls worried about who's eating a cheeseburger and deciding if we "LIKE" that or not...
AND WHERE'S THE "don't Like" or hell "hate" button... NOW THAT WOULD BE USEFUL...
"Bob had Taco's for lunch, YummY" <-----This, this sorta "Tweet" mentality, this is worthy of a "HATE" button right?
OR damn i'm just old... I know I posted like 40 pictures a few days ago and got almost no comments at all, short attention spans I fear, or my pics weren't that cool... Yeah we need a Hate button...
You grumpy ol bastid,yer worse than me for fug sake.Instead of a hate button,just get off yer lazy azz and go... I hate this ^ .
If there was a hate button and it were asigned a place on my keyboard,I wouldn't be able to use it.It would be worn out and the image on said button would be worn off.
Yer pics were awesome.Short attention spans you bet. The org has morphed over the years, more times than you can count.Members leave,get replaced with new ones,time,unfortunately marches on brother. I used to refere to these groups all the time. At first there were 10-20 regular posters,then that group changed.Then the next group came on,your's and mine and all those other folk. Now were up to like Gen 28 or something.I still believe there is still a great family core here thou. Short attention span now, BIGTIME. I often ramble on and on in a post,and a few (mostly oldtimers) will read it hoping for a laugh or some useless information.LOL Its the age we live in now. Some of these folks are tweeting,facebooking,texting,and asking for help fixing there Busa all at the same time.I get a little irate when they swallow up all the great info and dont even bother to say thanks,but thats todays generation.Not always,but for the most part IMO.Of my 2 children,one is the most grateful and polite person you could ever meet. The other,not so much so.(I guess I'm batting 500 in the child rearing department)I love 'em both,but they are different.The days of posting up trips,bike shots,etc and having 98% of the members oogle and awe and say nice job are GONE. Probably never to return. Its not good a good thing IMHO but it is reality.
You and I can both dissapear for months,even years and a core group will still welcome us back. I think thats pretty cool. Do I long for the days when 98 % of the board knew one another...forsure,but those days are long gone.The site is just too big for that now.I guess you have to see it as an' opportunity to make new Busa Bud's.(Here is where Rev will tell me to go get fugged,and that he can barely tollerate most folks as it is) LOL.
In the old days my brother,you could keep up with "Org going's on" in about 20 minutes. There were 5 threads to view. Now there's 500 current one's.It would be a fulltime job keeping up,you'd have to take notes.

Dont you recall getting lambasted by me when you would post about your new vacuum cleaner or new shaver? Folks still post up pics of their BBQ pig on a spit.I guess at that point its up to the reader to enjoy or skip past,or in my case type some shiddy or funny comment.hehehe. Most of us have been guity of at least one or 2 theorhetically useless threads.In my case,probably hundreds.If there was a hate button,it would prbably get used on me the most.I still get hatemail from the odd past/present member who I tore a strip off for no apparant reason,sometimes 5 or even 10 years ago.Some folks can't forgive and I dont want them to.Thats for them to wallow in. Most likely I was in one of my alcohol/drug induced stoopers or perhaps my own lack of self moderation.(no excuse,but reality) I've seen some of the most liked,most respected long time members type out some pretty hatefull shi7,but most of the time its a "mood dependant" sort of post and not really their true personality,but one never knows. I have always beleived that on the internet,and this site especially,we more often than not get folks "sugar coated" responses for one reason or another. My filter goes on and off and sometimes "my truth" gets typed out.Call it honesty,a flagrant disreguard for people's feelings,or whatever you like. I useally type with my heart and not my head and that can get a person on the hate list real qwik. I guess for me its not a popularity contest,some folks like me,some hate me with a passion. I'm to old to change much now. I still like me.Sometimes the HouseMouse must think I'm nuts as I laugh out loud while typing out some of my krap.
The internet will always be for some,a popularity contest.As you mentioned...
Did we suddenly become little girls worried about who's eating a cheeseburger and deciding if we "LIKE" that or not... Everybody just wants to be loved Kieth.
Rarely do folks want to hear the truth anymore.Thats where I come in.
I've toned it down alot,but the inner "Mean OL' Bastid" still creeps out from time to time. Some folks enjoy it and even say so...others just think I'm an a55hole. Thats life "on the internet."
Now stop all yer whiny krap and go build me a gun or something,my birthday is only about 4 months away.
Mean Ol' Bastid.
