Hi Fraggershell,

 

1stly, we appreciate your kind inputs on how to encourage more discussion and to manage existing threads, and also understand our pain in making CB400 forum a more organized environment. To set things straight,

 

We welcome every user to maximize this forum to search for every relevant information they need , eg. ur case , u need to know more info abt mud guard and accessories.

 

We also welcome every user to contribute their wealth of knowledge to our biking community, to share and to enlighten us with knowledge not everyone knows.

 

We do not close our doors to users who needs to extract or see more views of others pertaining to certain discussion of an issue.

 

Now here lies the problem, as usual and mentioned countless times b4, new threads that are being created in CB400 forum DOES NOT create traffic or usage views in CB 400 forum.

 

Most of the time what are the problems we face here are (not in reference to anyone) :

1) Some Users ask the same question that was being asked by another user 2-3 days back.

 

2) Some Users happily click "new topic" button as a quick fix to their issues

 

3) Some users are oblivious to the sticky threads that already answer their issues that can be found in SBF CB400 Official FAQ & Live Q&A Thread. Worse still , some do not notice on the middle right of your screen at the top of this forum page , there is a function known as search.

 

End up , we receive feedbacks that CB400 forum is messy with so many topics. People give feedback saying too much information to sieve through. Merging and pruning all the 90+ pages of threads is not an easy task to do as ShinHwa has explained.

 

I would like to reiterate that not all old threads are locked. Some are locked because its a straightforward question , then answer , or most likely, that question or discussion has been posted just 2-3 days back

 

Lastly, i sincerely hope fraggershell , u take no offence in ShinHwa's action of locking the thread as he is trying to make this a more conducive and organised environment.

Side topic: For those who said our search function is slow, i just did 10 search of various bike issues such as carbon brush , broquet etc etc. with abt 350 users using our forum at this time 10:07 pm Saturday night

 

I can get what i want to see in less than 0.70 seconds on average.

 

So its either 1) your computer is slow, (ok im running on a 10mbps connection p4 2.4 computer)

2) you are running on 56k modem or lesser (this era still have?)

3) your computer has virus that is slowing your browsing speed

4) you happen to visit our site on perhaps a maintenace day

 

well said.. that's why the search function is there..
