The REAL key to unwadded panties, now and in the future, is to realize that NEPRT is a very important part of the forum, but for reasons terribly misunderstood by many and most.
The name of this little inflamed appendix of the forum is what grinds those that get ground. They assume when/if a post of theirs winds up in the Seventh Circle of Forum Hell, it's because someone on an administrative level has deemed their post as Never-Ending, Pointless and Recurring.
That couldn't be farther from the truth. This forum sub-section, as you read it on the computer monitor, is incorrect. It should read (but doesn't) "Never-Ending, Pointless or Recurring threads."
The key to most tweaked noses is those with the tweakage don't realise that there is a VERY important comma, and equally, if not MORE important "OR" missing from the forum sub-heading's name. Hence, posts that wind up here, with the moaning wind, chirping crickets and amassed bull-**** artists, are either Never-ending
, Pointless
OR Recurring.
A perfect example of a "Never-Ending" thread would be the "Going to the Dark Side" thread. After 142 pages, with new replies showing up almost daily, you'd have to consider it "Never-Ending", which detracts in NO way from its value as an important information source.
ANY oil or tire thread, of which there are
10 on Page One alone, are certainly "Recurring". Also, many (but certainly not most or all) are also informative.
And ANY thread bashing Harleys is certainly "Pointless." (or any that SkooterG, beemerdons, bustanut joker or Hotrodzilla reply to. Maybe even that "RadioHowie" guy)
And certainly don't get tidy-******-waddage because even though you didn't post your thread here, it's where it eventually wound up. Because, no matter how you try, you can't post here. This section is completely and totally populated at the discretion of the Forum Admins, who recognize the smell of a NEPRT thread like a pig and a truffle.
Of course, I could be completely full of **** and the Admins are simply a group of corrupt, power-mad megalomaniacs who get a cut of the profits from the makers of the forum software for filling this section up!!!
