Default evo observation

is it just me...
I have noticed that when a new member joins the forum a lot of the twinkie riders with 50,000+ post's welcome them. and I never see any of us do it unless they come here. does that make them better than us??? or is it twinkie riders have nothing to contribute other than welcome.


I was bored tonight and looking at profiles. and I noticed there were a lot of ppl that say nothing to help anyone out other than welcome look at my bike im from bla bla.

Are you talking about the new member forum?


If so I have never been there but I have welcomed any that come down to the funny farm we call the EVO forum.

who ya profiling?

The EVO section is a scary place for the 50K-post twinkie guys.
Might get sucked into a debate, and inevitably lose to those that know!

Twinkie riders really just have nothing to offer, unless it's about where to put your gas cap when filling up or what kind of chrome doodad they can stick in funny places.

I am fairly new here and was welcomed by the 50+ crowd, they made me feel welcome to the general forum but i migrated to the evo section when i needed help, guess what i got that help no lectures no my **** is bigger than yours just pure and real help. The welcome crowd is a necessary group for the forum, i just hope all evo owners can find their way to the best group i have found after all the newbieness wears off.

I've noticed that a new member's first post often is a question about his bike, and it's not unusual to get a couple or three dozen welcomes without any reference to his/her question. If I post anything, I'll try to contribute an answer, must be frustrating to ask a question and just get, "Welcome from (state)".

Or they get some smart *** remark about asking a question on their first post. If someone can't answer the question STFU.

Hey fair go - Spanners rides a TC, are you saying he doesn't know anything and is unhelpful? Don't you want him back?
