Here, let me chime in before the testosterone continues to escalate. I can say that, being one of what, two gals posting on the oRg these days and an admin.
BTW, moderators and admins are the ones with names in blue, for those who don't know
We love ideas and suggestions Suede, but the reality is pretty brass tacks right now - the maintenance side of keeping everyone happy & implementing every idea falls on the shoulders of a few, and we volunteer our time here. Some of us have done the job for over a decade. Over the long history of the oRg we've had many things implemented and they were successful, and others never gained traction. Each one takes time and effort, continual maintenance, then babysitting post-implementation.
Coming here and getting defensive as if we've got a failing formula isn't going over so well, especially in a sea of members that have given so much of their time to one another both here on this very site and in person. We'd love to make everyone happy, but it's impossible, and believe me, there are about 100 stories of members leaving mad because something didn't go their way. Luckily, we have far more members that stay because they realize the benefits of what is here, if you just ask.
Resources here are limited to the people giving their time to the cause, and we stick around for the love of the Busa and the friendships we've made. That doesn't mean we don't want improvements, but that does mean change has to be planned, discussed, delegated and then become part of the fabric of what we do here daily. If we don't plan well and get full participation, it'll become a waste, and we've been there, done that before. In the end though, the sheer amount of time we already put in to what we have here makes it even harder to take on more projects. It's riding season, meet and greets are in full swing, and the staff here have families and lives.
I encourage everyone to seek out members for help if you need something specific. The membership here usually rises to the occasion when others are looking for help with their Busa, with mods, with ideas on the quickest way to part you with your money
