Outdoor Sports Introduction FAQS

[curtisbyrne]

very true dirtdobber,were giving "moderator bob"a hard time due to the fact that our old moderator or admin was mike a real person who was like another member on this site greeting people and having conversation with them. so i think we all need to accept the fact that the new admin is not really just another member its a human or robot(im still not sure which one) that watches over the site as time goes on and do not interact unless a new update is made or an event comes up.

Dear Mr. "Moderator Bob"

Dirtdobber and curtisbyrne are correct. It would be nice to have you truly introduce Outdoor Sports and yourself. Are you just a web hosting site and you are acting as an administrator, or do you truly have "outdoor sports" in your blood. Tell us more about Outdoor Sport? It sounds interesting. We all are outdoors people who hunt, fish, swim, climb, camp, and probably every other type of outdoor activity. If there might be multiple moderators, maybe they could also introduce themselves. It is much easier to talk and discuss things with a person than an entity. We get enough of that when we try to use the phone to do business with our banks, insurance companies, stores, doctors offices, etc.

Many "members" lurk here as guests first, reading posts and the back and forth banter, before jumping in and becoming members. I know, as I did exactly that up until I got my first AATV. When I did join, I had a real sense of who Mike, the moderator, was and what he and others did and could contribute.

Like Dirtdobber says, if you have no interest other than being the moderator, fine, just help us put a real person to the name.

Thank you all for the suggestions. As we have mentioned before, this is your forum and we are simply the maintenance team. Our job is to ensure the website is operating well and the forum is family friendly. We are picking up information about makes and models of machines, but surly are not experts. This knowledge will be used for the upcoming blog. We won't partake in-depth discussion on the threads, however do enjoy reading it!

There are a few staff members using this account. We will continue using Moderator Bob as it is easily identifiable to new (and old) members whom can contact us for support.

As we mentioned before, it's company decision to maintain a separation between all business ventures. Surly there will be growing pains as the administration has changed, but Outdoor Sports is a team of bloop humans who are excited for the future of 6x6world and by a couple new ideas, we hope to expand popularity.

i feel that the moderators answers are fair and pretty straight forward. it's a co. with people who do this kind of service for various websites i presume ...... i like the fact that it's still the members forum to contribute to,make suggestions, etc. some of the people on the administrator team may really like our sport and think it's cool also, but still are not going to be '' one personal friend'' like mike who comes to rides , etc. , but that's o.k. by me. maybe in the future one of the members of the '' bob'' team may get hooked on the aatv's and we will see them at one of the events.at this point i have the impression the ''bob'' team is going to just sit back and let the site carry on as it's been unless some '' happening '' or whatever needs to be addressed. it's still a awesome group who love these machines and thrive on sharing and learning from each other. thanks, johnboy va.

Curtis referenced the "Moderator" account feeling like a robot. "Bleep Bloop" are classic robot sounds. Hence, the moderator was acting like a robot to play off of his post and add a bit of humor to the atmosphere.



On a serious note. I'd just like to thank Outdoor Sports for the efforts they've been putting forward to keep this Forum and its users going. Up to this point the majority of what I've seen has been a handful of users let insignificant issues get in the way of what could have been a seamless transfer of ownership.

Bottom line is, Mike chose this group of individuals to be the new owners of the site. Can we at least show him the respect he deserves and trust him on this decision?

[john swenson]

i too feel like mike knew enough after all the years of building this site up and running it that he wouldn't just dump it not caring about it's future are the members. he's still a enthusiast and said he will be attending busco and setting up those dates, etc. .. i don't think any member want's mike to feel like he '' blew it '' . what if another member had bought it, and was either a really power,controlling person or found out it was too much time and work .. the site could have vanished. johnboy va.

I sure hope Mr Mike does not feel that way..

In other words "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" lol

No doubt Mike will be a tough act to follow.
