I am about done….

[hacksaw]

I had to sign in 3 times today. Too much typing for my crippling up hand.
That and the image issue format it’s not fun anymore.
It’s a shame this forum doesn’t grow. Most forums are gone. There are some specialty forums left . Thank god. But general moto? ADV rider if I can remember my password lol.
Steve’s friends of CWorld .
Gigabikes need gone for years now.
I never could get other people to come here.
Oh well . I should check in some point but logging in 3 times in one day sucks. lol

Are you using google?
If so do you have “Incognito”?

[hacksaw]

idk. no safari. don't know incognito

[Fatfatboy]

I think the problem is Safari and its ability to save your email and password.
I use google chrome because it remembers my info and i don’t have to log in ever.
I logged out of Cv while on chrome.
I went to my safari app. Opened it, searched for Cyclevisor form, logged in with no issues. I couldn’t find a way to save the site or my info.
I logged out of CV and left the site and safari.
I then went back to safari and had to search for CV again and log back in.
Standard google started doing the same thing a couple years ago so I started signing in on Google Chrome. I was able to save a tab on it.
I opened chrome, clicked on the CV tab and I’m automatically logged in.

Maybe try using google chrome.

[hacksaw]

not sure i trust google chrome or otherwise.

 How generous. He said it’s free.

The forum is.
The name isn’t.

[Fatfatboy]

Grdo,
I really appreciate that you take the time to manage this pickle barrel but there is no reason you should be flipping the bill too. I'd like to help fund it.
Please shoot me an email letting me know what the cost is. If you need my email let me know, please.

For four people?
By the way , I didn’t have to sign on just now. 😊
As much as I have had some issues signing in and posting pictures in more modern format , spending money on anything on CV low headcount makes no sense.
Facebook group can bring more people for free.
Not saying I love FB but hacksaws garage does ok as much as I post on it myself.
CV is actually is better as it is at least Forum not a FB page. I have considered bringing my web page back but even though it’s interactive it never generated a huge interactive readership .once  I had tried word press,  I think my page still exists . Word press has a lot of options but one needs to be a geek to take advantage of it all. My brain doesn’t have the patience.

We could then buy an ssl, to make it a secure site.

I’ll see what it would be, hardest thing is talking to the effin geeks, I mean, it’s almost impossible to even do the chat thing with them any more.  

I think about it a lot tho.  
A site that covered almost all bikes.
In a way the common man could relate.

Man, you're talking above my head so if you have a hard time dealing with the geeks, I'd be completely lost.
I like the idea of covering many bikes. It should get more riders to find the site.
I'm not sure how or what makes a site easier to find other than paying google to have it tagged when people do some sorta search.
Just for giggles I googled "motorcycle forum" and several forums popped up. Surprising ADVriders wasn't one of them. I've joined that one years ago but haven't been on it in years. I get lost over there.
One of the forums that popped up was Motorcycle.com. It looks well put together. It does have ads off to the side, which doesn't bother me. Seems it would be a good way to generate funds to help fund the forum cost. Of course it's tied to a e-mag so it has a presence just of it.

The web is just so crowded how can we be found? I have enjoyed getting to know you guys and those that have left pissed off or stepped to the other side but it would be nice to get more than the now four active members but not be another overcrowded forum.
CW forum was like the perfect place to visit. It would have been nice if they would have offered to pass the torch off instead of burying it into the abyss.

I am very sorry to hear we are being shut down in June.
Isn’t that part of one of Franks songs!
Flying high in April , shot down in June.
 
You can make money in all kids of ways . Look at Exhaust Notes. I am a fan of that site. But I have kind of fallen away from it has it’s so populated with ads it messes my head.
But to me , I am not getting involved with any bizz stuff.
No thanks. I think I do belong to motorcycle.com or I used too . I don’t know if their content was anything I was interested in. Umbrella girls certainly . If that was the the site.

I probably don’t give a hoot for 70% or more of new bikes on the market . I don’t give 2 hoots for maybe 80% of racing. I don’t belong to the AMA. I do at times support their museum .

So idk if I am much interested in a new started Pay site
I should likely spend more time on my FB group but it’s getting harder to get and transfer material these days.
( thank you fat 2 for visiting over there )
 More and more forums are dedicated to specific moto groups. I might pop into Steve’s FB group now and then fit a hit of cw nostalgia . AV rider I have looked at a couple of times in the last couple of years . Fat2 is correct it’s too big for tge cssual user. Maybe an individual room could be found that could be a bit CV refuge of sorts . On some forum . Idk .
General forums are basically dead . The specialty forums still up are run by devotees to the specifics .
I belong to many such as britbike.com shovelhead , sportster  bmw/2 etc . . Anyway idk  🤷🏼

At the bottom is a screenshot I took back then.  
You can zoom in there and see things a lot clearer.
