    Hi all
    I would like to invite all members of this group to test our new site.
    It is in beta mode at the moment. We are hoping to iron out all bugs
    before we send it public

    It is a new website dedicated to UK Bikers

    Site is http://www.ridersuk.co.uk

    I know there is probably 100's of sites the same, but thought I would
    give it a try.

    As for deleting content, I am used to it I own several web
    directories, 100's of spam submissions daily.

    I have owned and enjoyed bikes for 34 years current bike GL700 so
    thought I would start a site about something I enjoy for a change.

    You intend to run a forum and you can't even snip fucking sigs.
    Have you not done any research?

    While I'm here, some passing remarks:

    You have no content for Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy, the FAQ is
    similarly barren as is the Company Information page.

    So far there is one member (Administrator) and eight guests pointing and
    laughing.

    Are you going to list Classifieds for free? If not, sort out your https
    certificate.

    That's all the advice I'll give for free.

    Read first post NEW SITE probably why no members
    All site is FREE no need for https, you dont need that for paypal
    anyway.
    I dont need any advice regarding web design, so do not need advice for
    FREE anyway.

    Instead of running the site down why not join and do what my post asks
    to test it.

    For starters the title is gash. Lots of riders don't like being tagged
    Biker.

    Then how about a public commitment and disclaimer that nobody involved with
    or associated with the site will ever try and profit from the site or the
    name.

    What on *earth* makes you think you can do it so much better than any
    of the other myriad motorcycle forums and websites around the globe?

    First glance suggests you can't. And I really, really doubt you have
    the communication skills to back it up. Looking at it, I can see you
    don't have the language skills to make it literate, and I am
    absolutely certain you don't have the knowledge or experience to make
    decent value judgements.

    If you're hoping to make money from this, joiun all the other failed
    motorcycle businessmen who thought the same thing.

    In short, it's crap.

    For what it's worth .. which is probably what you paid for it .. my
    advice would be to provide something more unique. What you have
    currently is probably exactly the same as so many other sites.

    You have a GL700 (whatever the **** that is) so why not make the site a
    repository of info for that particular bike, or range of bikes? Forums
    describing how to do certain aspects of maintenance, tips and tricks
    that might be unique or peculiar to the bike, a place to discuss the
    bike and help people get along with it.

    As it stands the site is shite, but even if you have a lot more members
    it still looks a bit shite, so probably not worth a second look.

    I dunno about the Java and web stuff that others have commented on .. ;)
