Default Forum bashing?!

I have been a member for a short period of time (maybe a year or so)... it seems like the spirit of the forum (responses to problems) has grown more and more negative, critical of those who may have a question. Is this me and my short time here, or is it so?

Not that I can see. But the more you get into it, the more you see the same old questions and you know the person has not done a search. Maybe its those types of questions you are seeing negative responses to. I hope HDF stays just the way it is now.

I have been a member for an even shorter period...I wouldn't say the negativity has gotten worse, but sometimes it seems this forum is used as a sounding board for BS more than to help with actual HD related issues/questions. Don't get me wrong, sometimes I like to read the BS stuff (except the political rhetoric) and sneak a peek at the half nekid ladies. I guess that's what makes a forum what it is.

I have been riding off and on for 40 years but this is my first Harley. I have found this forum to be invaluable. Yes there is some BS but so what, that's just human nature. You'll find that anywhere. This is still, hands down, the best forum PERIOD!! Some of that sarcastic humor can't be beat!LOL!
Lighten up and enjoy.

Its because the weather has gotten bad for a lot of people on the board.
