I was only kidding about the SBPT! 
besides I have seen UL post in there too!
Having said that though, I think you are atleast partly correct caave. There is a definite shift in the type of people on the board as of late. I am not saying it is better or worse just different. I guess I fall somewhere in between based on my age and personal style. I am not as young and hip as some of you guys....even if I am only 34 I am an old 34 in that I have 2 kids 2 mortgages etc etc.
Up until fairly recently these old Hondas were frowned upon by the younger crowd but now that vintage is cool so are these bikes. The younger crowd who has always strived to be different (whether it is musically, style, tattos) have gotten into these bikes as another form of self expression. There is definitely a difference in the generations. One of the differences is how we interact whether it is in person or on the net. This can rub some people the wrong way.
Again, I am not saying this has anything to do with Dave's departure!
I will say though that this website has ballooned over the last couple of years. From an interest in the hobby standpoint that is a very good thing! (although it is driving parts prices up!). From strictly an interaction perspective the site has lost some of it's family feel. I think that for some guys without this kind of connection to eachother they feel that if they don't still have a bike as a connection and they don't have the family connection there is less of a desire to stick around...

Dennis, you are only as old as you feel brother.
I grew up poor so everything I've ever had has been
used outdated vintage. I got this bike because I found it on craigslist super cheap and I wanted a project at the same time. Little did I know how much character this bike has.
I really think 99.9% of the problems that have been popping up comes from a lack of communication and understanding. The majority of us are not professional writers, so if I were to call Havoc Turbo a slack jawed yokel, well there is no voice, pitch, tone or anything to that statement, completely open to interpritation. This is where the whole "thin skinned" bull crap pisses me off. If you insult some one, and it's a joke, you really should make it known as a joke. I have been in and out of a lot of these threads and there are certain members that become the butt of a lot of jokes, even if it is all in good fun that effects people. Not to call you out Fuzz, but I know I pick on you a lot for being a hairy violent beast, even though I always try to use
these things to make it known it's completely a joke, I am sure enough of it would pester anyone.
If you want to argue with me about this, feel free to send me a pm and I will berate you and add smileys after everything and see how thick your skin is. Point is, we're all human beings. It's easy to point your finger and tell some one to toughen up, but can you yourself do it?
