       What seaweb said about the value of this site can't be said enough. There IS so much info put
    out on this site, that it's just incredible! I've been involved some what with other sites, for the
    other bikes I have (not much compared to this one) and I had 1 post that was in Nov. with no
    response yet! Another one is pretty responsive but, if all the sites were rated for their response
    time, this site would win every time!! Karma or no Karma, this site will keep on trucking and this is
    attributed to all those responsible for setting it up, running it and to the members who support it in
    what ever way. I would like to see the karma stay, but it seems like it's been more of a nuisance so,
    I too Vote No!  "Lets Keep On Building  and Modifying Those Bikes!"  Later on, Bill  :) ;) :D

Brilliant! Now all we need is Glenn to incorporate some of these and we don't need no stinkin' karma! ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Hey! That is a great idea!

Glenn, Is it possible to include the "Smitey" faces?

Couldn't be fussed if they stay or go. I have used them but usually in fun. One thing though - if we never had them this thread would never been started and Sea's use of the smiley would not have had me rolling the floor in laughter. And that was before I saw Disco's smitey faces. Hilarious. Keep them or chuck them, it disnae matter. I find that what goes around  - is usually just something circular. :)

One addition I'd like to see is the smiley holding a 2"x4" and beating a dead horse. Seen it on other boards and it surely has it's place....

I think the karma bit is fun.. keep it.

I am enjoying karma since I am just starting to get some. It would be great if it stayed. No idea how to give it to others though. Can someone enlighten me please?

                   To be able to give or take away karma, you have to make a certain number of posts 1st.
          I don't remember for sure but, I think the number is 100. But don't quote on the number,
          maybe someone who knows the exact number will chime in here soon. Later on, Bill
