Yea go for it...a 4 stroke forum will be good....a bit more variety is alwyas a good thing....
And you right we will sort out the bad ones from the good....
My opinion...international is also not a bad idea...more guys on board means more info which means even more guys will register.....

I'm 50/50

OK 51/49.......
Maybe it is not a bad thing.
I like that there is always fresh technical content here and also that the group is small.
Fact is, there is only so much that can be said on a banshee before topics start repeating themselves, if the group remains small then this problem will get worse.
The other local sites are dying off, some of their forum sections have had no new topics for many months. K@K praat can only keep the site going for a certain amount of time before interest wanes.
With the economy the way it is now, quads are becoming a luxury item and those guys who are not hardcore quadbikers, never mind 2-stroke die-hards, will just walk away from quads.
Even huge sites like BHQ had to adapt by adding more categories to the site, I've been there for many years (I'm no.171 out of 20000+) and many topics have been repeated over & over. I still enjoy going there and because of it's huge member group, every now and then I can find something really interesting.
I can't see the forum expanding much more without inviting either 4-strokers or international 2-strokers to join.
You will have to adapt with the times.

I hear you... the name should have been like my products name... extremestrokes.com
anyways, we will never been comp for bhq or e2s, I'm not trying to, I know how many people has left bhq for 2 reason, one is the ***** Mr big name know it all.... (lets leave it there) and all the badmouthing....
I don't know, this forum is quite busy for its size, but maybe its only because its new and everyone has questions... I mean anyone can just go to bhq to get their answers for what they want....
I don't know, suggestions on how where and what to put in the 4-stroke forum....
Thing is there is a big variety of 2-strokes out there, if the 2 wheeler guys only want to register.... I am member at a few local sites and the amount of members compare to posts is scary... some of them gets a few posts a day and some threads hang for days on top with no new posts.... I don't know, it can happen here also...
Man sometimes I wonder why I am doing this.... LOL
overseas guys are more willing to share ideas it seems (maybe cos they dont race against us!)
i like the small group, lekker kuier plekkie and share info, not that i've picked everyones brain for secrets so i'm still keen to meet up and share ideas etc
and yes i do race a 4stroke aswell....... shhh
Look, I like a small forum like this, there are a few small RD/RZ and Yamaha IT forums out there that are ticking along nicely, I reckon try to get more 2-stroke two wheelers involved to broaden the scope a bit. Have you been to McDizzy lately?
McDizzy is closed to non paying members if i recall........?

No, I did not pay for another year after Nov 08. Why?
I was last on there in 2006, I was still working in Korea, had to send money through Western Union, what a pain in the @ss. Should be easier now with PayPal.
I was just wondering how that forum was doing as it is highly specialized IMO.

Always nice pics and articles, I have visit it once a month, not going to pay again, but it is one of the better technical sites.
