You mean eating a donut, drinking coffee, and riding the vision at the same time? Tried it, and have the coffee stain to prove it.  |

Pitt Meadows, BC Canada | It's a little easier than that to get into the FaceBook site ! Since I am the one who admits new members - I just look to see if they actually ride - Victory bikes (or really want to), and I try to keep out SPAMMERS and Naked Females (sorry) and HD Guys looking to tear down Victory. On FB - you have a 'profile' and if I don't like what I see - you don't get in (I just rejected a guy because his FB photo was a Pussycat and he had no bike photos). I looked at the info Jedi Jeff had for our latest spammer here - and there was NOTHING to indicate he was a biker.
I like both sites - here and FB - always something interesting to see and learn on both sites. I'm not a snob ..... |

Mount Vernon, WA United States | Hey guys, seems as appropriate place as any to mention that we should start seeing less SPAM on the site. We implemented an approval and it's a pretty easy task so we should be able to fire off approvals pretty quick to folks. I run other forums, and chat with other webmasters and that's pretty much what has to be done these days. It's no longer "bots" attempting to log in, or hackers.. it's people, in a building in China, who are paid (very little) to log onto websites and post stuff. It doesn't have to be relevant... that's not why they do it.
One might ask... "Why do they do it?, What do they get out of it".. Other than paid, they get NOTHING... You want to stop SPAM... educate all of your friends who get offers to have their product seen by 100's or 1000's of people. The sales person gets his wad of cash and "hires" a service that puts the info on however many pages the client paid for. They even supply a report of all the sites to the sales person, but the client has already been duped and out the money and it's all 100% legal. So EDUCATION is the key. If people didn't pay these idiots for a service that they likely won't garner one client or sale from..... than there wouldn't be the service the idiot uses to post the crap around the web.
I am constantly amazed by the seemingly smart people who pay good money for supposed advertising that they know nothing about. They take the salespersons word that magically they will have 1000's of customers because their product will be on 100's of 1000's of sites within a couple of weeks.
The only one that makes the money... the salesperson. It's they same reason for the spam emails we all get. Someone paid to have their info show up in xxx thousand email boxes. The salesperson buys an email list... legit, not legit... whatever... All he has to do if audited is prove the emails were sent and cash the check.
Anyway... we should be seeing less SPAM.
On a final note... -ish... there is a Victory Riders Network on Facebook as well and also on Ning. Not dedicated to Vision, but our partner sites.
Thanks for the continued support everyone...

Grand Cane, LA | Thanks Miles and Jedi Jeff for all you do. I know it can be hard keeping up with all the BS on the internet these days. I know I wouldn't want to take on that task. |

New Bohemia, VA | is there any reason you had to say this three times?
(I'm just funnin'. This place is more better than face book and easier to load. Jeff and Miles had a good "vision" years ago to catch this before anyone else did.) |

hmmmm...I wonder if that pussy cat photo was mine. I've been trying to get into a vision FB group but haven't heard anything back. Should be plenty of bike pics on my page but what do I know. I haven't been on FB long so maybe I don't know what I'm doing and maybe I don't belong with y'all.
I don't have many posts here, but I saw the future back in Nov 07 when I joined.
