I know what you mean, Jon, but some folks are a bit shy (as I am in 'real life') and it's OK by me if they just want to read.
Also, we have an unknown number of members (maybe quite a large number) who may not be confident about their English language skills. And we've just had a significant influx of newbies who may need a little time before they join in.
Hell, if everyone posted as much as me and Faster and a few others, it would be chaos!

The Yahoo forum is pretty active, that's for sure ... I get the digest, so it's become a handy archive. I think it's just that those guys are used to that medium and they have built their own community, so it'd be like starting from scratch w/ the online forum. It'd be cool if this forum could benefit from all that discussion, too though ...
But still, 500(+) members ain't bad either! Congrats, Mike & everybody!

Just because you're not dead doesn't necessarily mean you're living, either.

If you go to the ducatipaso.org home page, redpaso, you will see in the top right corner, under the random photo, some red text scrolling up in a box. If you click on a line of the text, it will take you to a Yahoo ducati forum. In the top left corner of our home page, there is a menu of three items, and the bottom one, ducatipaso.org list, will I think also take you there. I think that's what they're talking about.
There is also something called ducati.ms, which is an all-ducati forum, and which looks quite big.

ducati.ms is based here in Sacramento too. The guy lives like 10 minutes from my house. Haven't met him yet heard he's cool. I don't post there though between this site and the local vw club site (which I run , too) i just have no time!!!Skins wrote:If you go to the ducatipaso.org home page, redpaso, you will see in the top right corner, under the random photo, some red text scrolling up in a box.

I'm a mod for the Monster forum on ducati.ms, actually. Same name as here. There's a 'sport tourer' forum, which includes Pasos, but the Paso content is pretty sparse - it's all ST2/3/4 talk. Once in a while though. Stop in and say hi if you sign up, anybody ... !
That's a decent forum - Scott, the owner, is a great guy. He and Andy (the ducati.ms maintenance man) also run a BMW forum, too. A K-bike site, maybe?
Anyway, it's pretty cool ... something for everyone. They've got a forum for just about every Ducati genre, including a Bimota forum (doesn't seem to get much traffic), a set of forums breaking down the members by region, which is pretty cool (although it doesn't get lots of traffic), plus a handful of off-topic-esque forums. I pretty much just stay involved in the Monster forum ... the off-topic stuff gets too time-consuming. There are a bunch of characters over there, but all good folks.

Too many forums thins out the information. I don't have the time to monitor all the dufferent Duc sites. I get my Paso fix here and on the twin Yahoo site.fasterdammit wrote:I'm a mod for the Monster forum on ducati.ms, actually. Same name as here.
