Lookin good so far Dax. It will be nice if it takes off.

Exactly when did you launch this?

Odd Job · 08-05-2008, 05:15 PM

You got my vote DAX!!!

emsley3 · 08-05-2008, 05:17 PM

Great site Dax....thanks! Really like the look and feel of the site.

pepper · 08-05-2008, 05:26 PM

+1 on the site. Keep it up

Dax · 08-05-2008, 05:37 PM

FLHTLaunched approx 10:30 this fine morning of August 5, 2008

Hey Oddster, you only love me cuz of my nose!!!

Warden · 08-05-2008, 10:55 PM

Very nice and smooth running. Thank you !!!!! It will build fast. Word of mouth is the best advertisement.

sk8rod · 08-05-2008, 11:08 PM

well its looking great,, just think the guys who joined on the launch date should be promoted early

sk8rod · 08-05-2008, 11:09 PM

i mean,, whats a "slacker" ? Oh and sorry about the double post,, force of habit

HDTRAIN · 08-06-2008, 05:37 AM

Hopefully it "takes off"...very nice site.

Good question!! The early birds will get promoted early for sure and will be the ones I turn to as we get busy. When we get rocking we'll need some moderators etc ...

I'm trying to come up with decent titles for number of posts.

Currently everyone starts out as a Slacker, then with 10 posts moves to Senior Slacker, the with 50 moves to Super Slacker and over 100 is Not A Slacker!

If anyone has better titles, present them in the site feedback thread and they will be duly considered! -- Dax

I never kiss and tell!!!

sk8rod · 08-06-2008, 11:54 AM

yeah i got to say i wasnt into the "hang around" and then "prospect" style.. IMO the top honour should be "Street Bob Rider" the rest is up to you

fortbriscoe · 08-06-2008, 02:40 PM

Dax, it's nice. "Slacker" may be accurate, albeit, not too complimentary. I think the ranks should express more diversity. Like start at "Turd" and work your way up to "Felicitator General."

Dax · 08-06-2008, 03:11 PM

Well, at least I see you've made it to SENIOR Slacker ... congrats ... and I don't mean that in a non-complimentary way!!

Now that would be the shit!

Dax...if I'm not supposed to say that just edit or let me know. Still not sure what the boundaries are in your house.

Odd Job · 08-06-2008, 03:43 PM

Hey Emsley3...how's things up there in Raleigh??? Retiring to the Carolina's soon......more than likely, Rock Hill, SC. Love it in your neck of the woods.....stuck here in So. Cal.

Hey DAX..how many posts before I turn Super Turd???

Raleigh isn't too bad. I've lived here for 27 years so it's changed a lot for me. Some for the better but a lot for the worse. Overall it's still a great area and people must love it because they move here in droves. Rock Hill is a great area, we used to have an office in Charlotte and a lot of employees lived in Rock Hill because the cost of living was so much lower from housing to gas tax. I can't blame you from wanting to get out of So. Cal! Once you get this way give me a shout and I'll buy ya beer.

Dax · 08-06-2008, 06:56 PM

Just a funny for fortbriscoe!! He suggested Turd instead of Slacker to start ... I really need some good titles (not turd!) for members as they progress with their post counts ... Everyone post some ideas in the feedback section plz if you have any .. thanks

fortbriscoe · 08-07-2008, 06:48 AM

All right, Dax. Impaled on my own dual-tapered sword.

LVJim · 08-07-2008, 10:24 PM

Hey Dax!

I love the site so far, GREAT JOB! You can call me a "Turd" or "Slacker" or whatever you want at this point, at least I know I can post successfully when I try to. The title will soon change, as I plan to be an active member - I'm just glad I had the opportunity to get in on the ground floor! What was the official launch date of this site?

Jim

Dax · 08-07-2008, 10:42 PM

Thanks Jimbo ... actually was Aug 5th about 10am or so. We've done pretty well since then and have a great group of slac... errr ... bikers in here!! Only one turd!!

LVJim · 08-08-2008, 03:29 PM

Hey Dax,

Well, I'm glad to know I (almost) became a member from day one. I think I joined the next day - only you know for sure. I'm sure this site is destined for great things!

When you hold the awards banquet for the charter members, I hope I'll still get invited (lol)! I'm glad to be onboard. May I suggest you start a technical forum for those of us who like to turn our own wrenches??

Jim

Dax · 08-08-2008, 04:01 PM

Jim, there is a tech section off the front page. If it is not as complete as you like, let me know and we'll work through how you think it could be better. -- Dax

pepper · 08-08-2008, 07:49 PM

I bet there's already a good technical base with the people we have so far. Just ask if you have questions.

sk8rod · 08-09-2008, 12:11 AM

yeah there seems to be a majority who do their own wrenching,, which is ace and to me its another whole side to Harleys thats rewarding and a lot of fun ( sometimes ).. i remember reading a thread on hdf where this guy takes his bike into the dealer to get the headlamp bulb changed,, stuff like that gets you shouting at your laptop

LRonHoover · 08-10-2008, 01:46 PM

So I'm a Bar Hopper...

What comes after that?

LRonHoover · 08-10-2008, 01:47 PM

Never mind.. I'm now a Day Tripper.

So, what comes after that? Night Stalker?
