Most of the time I completely disregarded many of the threads in the Longue area and have not bothered to visit this site lately due to the fact that it seems to have gone away from what first brought me here, my TBA (yup one of the black faster ones) quality infomation, ideas on ways to improve performance and looks, and a place to meet other owners of one of the best bikes ever made.
Okay, I'm done now.



And you can still get all of that information in all the forums located below this one. How does banning certain subjects affect that in any way? I'm asking this honestly, because to me, the lounge is for everything else but the things you say you came here for in the first place.

You're right that this isn't a democracy. I don't see anyone here claiming it is. However, that doesn't change the fact that by implementing these rules that they are going to alienate some users here as well as future users. So, unless this site wants to be elitest, these rules may not be for the best. I only say 'may' because only time will tell. I for one can say that I don't spend much time around sites that do this. But that's my choice to make, just like it's the adminstration choice to enforce these bans *shrug*
