RMH and the future
DM
trying to get a feel for some things, start a discussion on a couple of
topics.
*New patrons*
Some of you were here from the beginning, some were told about this
place by other patrons, and some just happened to stumble upon this
place by accident. I myself first visited here about 10 years ago when I
was doing a research paper for a cultural anthropology course.
It used to be easy to get here, and for those folks in the know it is
still easy, although in many cases we're having to pay for the access.
Now that many providers are dropping usenet access we're going to get
less people in who just happen to run across this place while seeing
what they can find on usenet.
If you're some Joe Schmuck out in Ottumwa Iowa that doesn't know about
usenet because your provider doesn't offer it and don't have a friend
that knows about this place, how are you going to find out about rmh and
start posting here?
Google Groups? Hell, most people don't get deep enough into Google to
know that they have "groups". Imaging yourself as a person who has never
heard of this place or what it offers, then go to Google Groups and type
in "Harley". This place doesn't exactly jump out at you as the place to go.
Facebook? The Biker Netscum group is only open to people that we
already know, no strangers allowed, so they won't hear about it in there.
Two years ago I told a friend of mine about this place and he recently
asked me (again) how to "get on there". Now that he doesn't have usenet
access he's going to have to pay to get access or use a free service
that won't carry ABPMH that I feel is an integral part of this group.
Yeah, some of you are satisfied with the folks that are here now and
don't think we need any new members. In order to survive, this place
*has* to have new members.
*Slime Reports*
It's obvious that many of the patrons of the VB&G are now only
participating in lists such as PNWBS, SENS, etc. With usenet taken away
they don't want to bother with using a no-frills free service, or paying
for better access so they're just on the mailing lists.
You may be of the opinion that a person shouldn't be allowed to be on
one of those lists if they didn't cut their teeth here first but I don't
feel that way. Using the slug list as an example, there is only one way
to get on that list (AFAIK, excluding special invitees), and it includes
having to post a slime report.
Is it enough that they only post in rmh once in their life, that one
time necessary to post a slime report? Or have we evolved enough that
they can post a slime report somewhere else and have it count?
There are a couple of options for the latter.
http://thevirtualbarandgrill.com/ has a forum area, I suppose a section
could be set up there for slime reports. Anybody can post there after
registering, no screening involved.
The Biker Netscum group on Facebook. Of the two, this one is more
stringent. Several people on there have never posted on rmh but are well
known enough that they were allowed to join the group. They could post a
slime report on there.
Thoughts?
Have another round on me if you made it this far.

That was a choice I made when I created the group. A different group
could just as easily be created without the restriction, letting anybody
join.
Facebook groups aren't really suited to discussions like we have here
with 20 or more topics going at once, so folks rarely "post" anything
there. My group is more of a locator and bulletin board than a forum.

The future of RMH depends on the here and now.
> *New patrons*
> *Slime Reports*
...Assholes, slugs, etc...
Been there, seen it, road a few, met many, bought a few patches, had the
arguments. etc.. etc..
"The futchum" of RMH is for only those that could care ONLY about this
newsgroup and/or the residents that want to reside.
After all, some of the ORIGINAL MEMBERS are known hypocrites and became
pansies in the poofter fields of life!
Becoming an "AH" and getting a "number" was cosmic at first, but then it
became a joke when #2(appropriately named!) broke his own "rules" when I
refused to paint his bike.
I am still #49 in a series of "Assholes", and if anyone want's that
number, they can fuckin' have it!
But I refuse to advertise it anymore.
It was cute while it lasted... but I outgrew it.
Same thing for the slug and other "numbers" I once accumulated.
Reminds of theme song for "Secret Agent":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iaR3WO71j4
"They've given you a number, and taken 'way yer name!"
Now? I am merely "bassist du jour!"
The FUTURE of RMH is already happening now, and hopefully evolving.

I got slimed at EKIII '09, making the run out to the Manor and back. Had to
be at least a few slugs in that group, but for sure, I made a run with
Schmoe (and others) out to dinner and then back to the campground.
I posted a slime report here, and sent a copy to the keeper of the numbers.
It was a rhymin' slime report that evolved spontaneously, as I began to
understand what it meant to be slimed. I didn't get it at first. I thought
the green goo would be real, not imagined. But I get it now, and I'm glad to
report it so.
Never did get a number. Not that I'm complaining. Just saying that becoming
a slug and getting on the list has eluded me thus far, even after hanging
around here for a couple of years. Seems like things move slow, or I do. Not
really in a hurry, but I seem to hear about what folks are up to, after
they've started, finished, or with too short a notice to have a chance to
say I can't make it.

I don't like facebook, or any other web based forum that doesn't look like
email (like blogs). Some of the tech forums and other places that I visit
infrequently are laid out pretty well, and easy to follow. There are some
conveniences that usenet readers provide though that I haven't seen in web
based forums. Like being able to list posts by date, rather than subject, so
you can see at the top of the reader what subjects are still being
discussed.
I think an RMH web forum would be pretty good, as long as it was easy for
the host to maintain. That's the other advantage of usenet, it isn't really
something that needs to be maintained. It's just propogated from newserver
to newserver, as long as someone out there is willing to setup a host in a
backroom. I pay cheap money to stay connected through giganews, and will
continue to do so. I'm determined to outlast the spammers, whackos, and
kooks, until usenet gets clean and sober.

This place is going away because its repetitive in content and the
jack off regulars like Len that feel that they need to have some
stacking order. Jack off's like Len actually turn away new comers to
the RMH and turn off those that were once here. Face it...your not all
that if you ride everywhere, People dont care what you "use" to be and
this private club will go away in its due time if your keyboard
flexing fuks dont get a clue.
As for how to present this group...step up and make it a forum. Better
looking, some control of the content and if you fuks were not so
cheap...it only costs a few dollars. I have my own and it does fine

I didn't know about that. See aht discussions can uncover? But you gotta
abide by these rules:
"By agreeing to these rules, you warrant that you will not post any
messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-oriented, hateful,
threatening, or otherwise violative of any laws."
There goes half the regulars.

hi!
i'm a new face ... fig'rd it couldn't hurt to weigh in
i got back into ng's when i realized google would let me on for
free ... i don't pay money for what can be bartered!
i was big into ng's in the 90's (web was a very different place back
then, as you'll all remember, and the idea of d/ling pictures was a
chore, and besides we didn't know what we were missing)
anyway,
i'm the internet generation and no one i know, but for 1 person (my
age), bothers with ng's ... forums are typically the way to go
i like the ng's because there's no advertising (and the spam is easy
to ignore) - most forums are saturated with ads and often it causes
problems (or just pisses me off)
i like the forums because it's easier to keep track of who's who, of
who they are, and all that - easier to 'define' one's self with an at-
your-fingers profile, an avatar pic, a sig that isn't clearly a few
lines of text that's easy to gloss over
i think ng's will probably die out in the next 20 years; the people
who prefer strict text will die someday, and those who don't die will
realize they have to move on
but while you assholes are here (and on reeky), you'll have to put up
with me ^_^ <--and my emoticons
-c
p.s. anyone got a how-to for putting old (1962) tank badges on a brand
new tank? double sided tape, no? or a soft glue?

Subject: Finally home - MAMBM
<snip>
On the way back I stopped to meet another internet friend in northern
Wisconsin and about 15 minutes away from Madison, my Sunday target, I
ran into the mother of downpours. Apparently they got 3 to 4". Just
as well though because this strange green ooze had started to seep out
from everywhere and the rain washed most of it away. There's still
some stuck to the seat though. Anyone know anything about that? I
heard somebody mention something about the Saturday ride.
And....if that doesn't work.
On the September long weekend I rode straight from work to meet up with
the northern stretch of the PBR.
Got from Winnipeg to Aberdeen by 11:15pm and stayed for the night.
Got up in the morning and headed towards Pierre.
Thinking we must have crossed paths I pulled over to see if I had a text.
Just at that very moment one came in that they had just filled up and
were heading north from Pierre. (Apparently the scene of a scientific
experiment to see just how empty empty can be)
A short while later I spotted the culprits and turned around. We followed
the same route through SoDak stopping for lunch at a great restaurant in
a town whose name I forget where we had the place to ourselves.
Apparently because they were closed although they never once made us feel
the slightest unwelcome.
We ended up in Minn where we took the "fastest" route according to the
GPS and after about 50 miles ended up 17 miles away from where we had
turned off.
Spent the night in Staples to the gentle music of a train yard across the
street after sampling the wares of Cap'n Jack.
The ride to Marquette was the best part, especially the little park south
of Duluth where I scraped a few floor boards.
Fins and I pulled over at the end and waited for Piper and the future
Goat Head to arrive, they preferring a more sedate style of riding.
Great hotel in Marquette with giant rooms across from the pool and the
weakest wifi of any place I have stayed. Also the weakest breakfast.
As I left, my bike suddently started handling like a southern car in an
ice storm. I looked down to find all manner of green slime oozing from
every point on the bike and coating the tires. I swear I could still hear
the laughing all the way through Wisconsin.

I have been thinking that converting the group to a web based forum would be
a great idea. Lightly moderated perhaps, but that would be tough to do. I
would not have a problem tossing in a couple bucks to see it happen.

I had a linux BB like that years ago. You can pay a fee and take it
private. Seems the hybrid views on the pay version were more malleable.
Probably around $100 per year on any commercial server including the
annual software license. Then the ads go away.
Then whoever the "bar owner" is will have something to actually own - if
that rocks your boat.
I'm pretty sure the "joining" can be automated without approval - but it
would probably take no time for someone to think of controlling it,
along with the content - hell there are people in here who try to tell
people what is and isn't OK.

It is common knowledge that people who incessantly brag about themselves
are doing so either because they are insecure, or they are deflecting
attention away from their own faults. Which is it Stone? Insecure, or
telling us to focus on something else besides what a loser you are?
You have seriously fucked up your's and other's lives and are trying to
compensate by making it appear as if everything you touch turns to gold
and your shit smells like roses. We're not buying it.
You may be a very good motorcycle racer, and that would be something to
be proud of, but the need to constantly brag about it just shows that
you have many other faults that outweigh any good you may have done. Now
tell us again about how great your life is, the louder you proclaim it
the more you look like an insecure pathetic idiot.
You constantly compare apples to oranges. We measure success in
different ways. Most of us don't feel the need to brag to strangers
about it.

I sure will and of course I am still a dick...but a lovable one at
that when ya know me;-)
Racing...yes. Had one of my worst years yet. Went with Honda this year
after riding Suzuki's for the last four years. Needless to say....the
setup is opposite of everything we know about setup and while I
qualified every round...we had mechanical after mechanical and even
freaking ran out of gas on the second to last lap at Daytona this
year! I pulled out early due to a new project that I have going...a
new restaurant. I would put a link to the website...but its down right
now doing some changes. However...next year looks to be good for
racing and sponsorship.
As for being careful as to whom ya talk to....this is some of the crap
that I see that goes on in here and I am sorry to hear that it is
still going on. But honestly...I dont think it will ever change with
some that frequent the group and spend so much time here dictating
this kinda crap.
Nice reading ya again ;-)

First of Fins...its not bragging if ya can do it. I have many faults
and accept them as such...but I work on my strengths and currently
they out weigh those faults. Second of all...success is not measured
by the douchebags that frequent this little click that constantly try
to make a pecking order based upon post count. Last...As in any
business venture there are risks. The ordeal you are hinting about
happen 7 years ago and I am no more guilty than the over 9000 shops
and 100's manufacturers still in operation today. Again...you are
going off what ya think and not what ya know.
My life is not dictated by which you let yours be ruled in the RMH.
Matter of fact...if I listen to your kind I would have given up a long
time ago. This place is a black hole of hate, ego, belittlement and
people trying to play tuff on the web. It has robbed people of time
with their family and in general...is negative as a whole.
The problem Fin is that you and your kind lack the fiber that holds me
together and gives me the courage to succeed. The glass is half empty
in this group and the insecurities run a muck with this need to create
a club where top honors are held by their key the strokes.
Personally...I like see my results in the record books and not on some
freaking web forum.
The attitude of this place and the main players of the RMH are its
undoing. Its old school and tiresome to many. You fucks trying to find
a new venue for this place is like rearranging the deck chairs on the
titanic. Its only a matter of time before this too will end and if it
doesnt...it will be filled with nothing but a bunch of guys proudly
claiming to be Assholes (tm) and bicker amoung themselves.
Ok...toodles. I spent 5 mins to long on this and need to go get food
for the trip with my boys to go riding. Now that my friend...is way
more important than this petty little place of so called "friends".

I've been around for a while (14 years). RMH is pretty much the same
as it was, well except that asshole numbers now get passed out like bozo
buttons. People come people go. Some quit riding, some lose interest,
some just get tired of the bullshit. I tell ya though, there was plenty
of smart ass remarks and replies back then. Plenty of bullshit as much
as things are different they are the same.
I still like it
I don't go to irl's and that makes me a nobody. I don't have the time or
energy for casual acquaintances and have plenty of friends and
activities that I'm interested in. I try to participate in a helpful way
when I can but often find my help shunned. That's rmh to me.
I still like it
but, a lot of times funny shit goes on here, long drawn out threads
about stupid shit happens here, I like it so I keep coming back. One day
maybe I be inclined to meet some of the folks here but it will likely be
different folks than are here now just like the folks here now are
mostly different from the folks that were here then when I came in
steppin' all over my dick.
I still like it
Don't care who doesn't, Don't care who killfiles me. Can't stop me from

I think you got a pretty fair shake here, some took issue with your
attitude and others just let you post your thoughts, when you had your
little setback you got as much support as negative feedback.
I'm not sure if you realize it, but when you make statements like this
you are making them towards both groups. It is starting to look as if
you come here looking for a fight and leave disappointed when nobody is
really interested in a pointless flame war.
Either way, I'm getting this round, if you find someone willing to dance
with you, please take it outside and try not to bump into any bikes.

I never paid much attention to the numbers and whatnot, made a few IRLs
at the Ear followed by a ride to American Trash a few years back. Good
nights, I was glad to have found out about it here. As you describe, I
traded a lot of riding time for time in the park with the kids, but I
still took the bike out once in awhile and tried to keep up with the
rust. The smartass remarks and bullshit motivated me to schedule
weekends where the wife and kids left for the shore on Thursday while I
had to work until Friday .... no sense in wasting all that gas .... I
can take the bike.

A good night out is enough for me, I learn more than I teach here,

Kinda odd that you take it that way, I've stepped in my own shoelaces a
few times and have always appreciated the guy who took a few seconds to
tell me that my shoes are untied. If I could step on my own dick I'd

I worked in a lot of restaurants from age 14 - 25, they all did the same
old thing. One place that changed my view of restaurant work was a place
in Albany called Grandmas. When I worked there people would come back
into the kitchen and tell me how to cook their food, they'd make their
own coffee, most of the patrons were friends and relatives of the owner,
they treated it like their Grandmother's kitchen. The place did great
because the customers were always right .... if they wanted to fry
garlic, garlic was fried, if they wanted soft apples on their waffles
they got them. I think they got famous for pies eventually, but they
were built on customers handing recipes over the counter. I need to look
the place up to see how it is doing.

Well, I'm no expert in these things, but I just checked the offishual slug list
and see you in there as BS#284 (http://HawglyDavidson.com/page1/slugs.html).
This might be a new record for slime report to enumeration. BTW, the moto of the
slugs is "What the hell's the hurry?" :)
This of course makes you eligible to join the sooper secret slug mail list.

Cool. U've got mail.
Take your time, I'm not going anywhere, yet. ;-)
Guess it's time to buy the bar a drink.
Oh Shirley....

So since this kerfuffle started I've gotten four new registration requests at
the VB&G forum - all from spammers :)
At least somebody is reading these messages! I do wonder why Stone bothers - can
it be long before Beckyboo pops back in?
Here's my take on it - this thread is a good example of what is really fucked up
with rmh. What is good about rmh is all the regulars who are still here keeping
the asshats in this thread in line. It's good, bad, and ugly sometimes all in
the same thread, but it's pretty much been like that for years.
As usenet groups go this one is doing pretty well regards spambots. One I read
quite often as it is part of my job is comp.mail.sendmail where fighting spam is
job one. It's becoming all but useless because of spam!
The problem with usenet is declining interest on the part of ISP's. A full feed
is a huge amount of data to store and keep available in real time on line. It's
a lot of work and a fat waste of bandwidth to run, and who wants to waste time
and money archiving a bunch of crap? If a system goes down the admins catch hell
because a product nobody pays for directly is dead, but there's usually more
important things to focus on. It's a crapshoot if the problem is your own usenet
servers, the backbone, or the uplink. Too much work for too few rewards.
So my idea was to build a forum damn near at the same time you started the
Facebook forum - Facebook being the internet's ghetto 8-O. Both were set up
though for valid reasons - usenet is dying less slowly all the time.
What is out as a solution for me is yahoo, google, facebook, etc., because they
suck (I hate data mining sites where bots crawl all the posts), and an email
based group for very large groups is messy. That leaves web based forums and
manageably small private lists. At least with forums your email addy is hidden
from the spamturds that seem to be everywhere.
But - to keep the community functioning, something needs to be in place if the
decline in usenet accelerates as I think it will as more ISP's drop it. It will
be interesting to see how it all falls out. I'll bet the next 10 years will be
quite different from the previous 10 regarding usenet activity.
