How about that!

Ok, so I was off a couple days, but still ...


w00t! 500!

WHOOOOO - HOOOOO!!!!!!!

WELL DONE TEAM

PASO DOMINATION!!!!!!

Skins,

500 is a nice round number ( and growing) but forgive me for mentioning that I would rather see 150 really active members instead.

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!

501 ALREADY

Lurk before you leap? I guess.

It's also interesting that not that many of the yahoo posters have not migrated over to the forum.

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!

Mike owns both. I read and post to both forums. I get that yahoo posts via email and like it better than reading the forum.

Hey guys, excuse my ignorance but what is the Yahoo Forum & how do I get there to check it out?

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!!!

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.

Thanks guys, I'll check this all out. (as soon as I get some time)

Why does my paid job always get in the way of what I want to do !!

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.
