Howdy, new recruit here.

I came here because I had been banned from TT. It was a suicide.
The site has many good features but the political and religious threads got to be way too much. The owner, mods and members supported and encouraged extreme right leaning views, while showing no tolerance for anyone who did not agree with them. They were ok with offensive sigs that degraded moderates and democrats. They handed out warnings unfairly and the site just became agenda driven.
It's their site and they can do what they want but I no longer belonged there.

I have been viewing MT for couple days and noticed this place seems to rarely go political or religious and when they do I like the way the owner has warned everyone, if it gets ugly the thread is gone.

I really like that!!

I thought of staring my own dirt bike site that I could control. The rule would be , "Any political or religious threads are subject to removal"!!! At my sole discretion!!
These types of discussions rarely turn out to be a positive thing. Hell, man kind has been killing each other over these two things forever!!!

I come here with the desire to be a positive influence, good member and steward of our sport.

Yep, its me.
Trust me, it's ok to get banned from there. I put the gun in my own mouth.
I didn't belong thee any more. To much controversy!!

I just got sick of it and didn't have the disipline to just keep my mouth shut.
I promise to avoid it here.
Most of the trouble comes from the same people posting in an efforts to mega troll and get people fired up while they sat back and watched the poop storm!!
And that bothered me as much as anything.

Frankly, I'm gland to be done with TT.

It's a new day here at MT.

Welcome to the forums.

We are very much different over here and things seem to go off topic a lot. You never know where a thread will lead by time it hits the fourth page but we are fairly laid back around here and anything flys as long as people are having fun.

Looking forward to reading your posts and see you are a very active member already. Have fun at mototips!
