Mm... I don't think I like it, actually! In my mind, it's always been 'the forum'. Mainly since I only go on the one.Originally posted by BA80 View PostThe term hasn't been used for quite some time and most of the members who used to use it have moved on..........or something.

How do you figure it "trivializes" anything about this site? If anything, arguing about a slang designation is trivial.Greg

"If anything, arguing about a slang designation is trivial."
Yeah, but we should still figure out who's right...right? (stir, stir)"Time is the greatest teacher; unfortunately, it kills all of its students."Comment

Jeez, Greg, you're a temper explosion just waiting to happen, aren't you? They do say the Brits and the US are "two peoples divided by a common language".... My post was 'tongue in cheek' and intended as harmless humour, OK? Hence the smiley face after it. Y'know.....grandiose and pompous phrases like "intellectual might" etc. I mean, who truly gives a monkeys what the forum is called? Lighten up a bit, Greg, me old son ..Originally posted by BA80 View Post
Anyway, personally I've found Channel 11, Station Onze, The Forum, Collection of (mostly) old blokes on old bikes, whatever anyone wants to call it, really useful!

No temper involved James, I just don't get what your trying to say. Why does a slang designation that has been used for years trivialize the people here? We came up with it.Originally posted by James England View PostJeez, Greg, you're a temper explosion just waiting to happen, aren't you?

If I was really angry you would have gotten a PM from me and you would have no doubt.Greg

Tempers
This forum is tame. Not much in the way of flaming goes on here. I've been to quite a few gatherings of folks from this forum, and every one is like a family reunion, except that we actually do like each other. There are lots of hugs and kind words passed around at an XS11.com rally. If someone is in need, I don't think I need to tell you about the selflessness that can be found in this group.
FWIW James, I thought nothing of the exchange between you and Greg. Brothers get at each other sometimes.Marty (in Mississippi)

I concur. The term Ch. 11 has been around since I've joined. We always use to tell the newbies welcome to channel 11. It was never meant to trivalize the people or any of the drama. You want to see drama go over to arboristsite.com. You wouldn't believe te drama that happens there lol.'79 XS11 F

ah, you came up with it. ok, Channel 11 it is then. Crikey, it was an off the cuff comment, no depth, facile, superficial...hadn't heard it before...I've been here about the same length of time as you have, since 2010 and hadn't come across the phrase ever before and was confused by it and had to ask what it meant. That's all. OK?, enough said? Or is this one going to go on and on and on?? Jeez, we have Iran, Iraq, Syria, Gaza Strip, Ebola virus and even I am still harping on about what a forum is called..... Channel 11..good...I like it now....Originally posted by BA80 View PostXS1100F 1980 European model. Standard. Dyna coils. Iridium plugs. XS750 final drive (sometimes). Micron fork brace.

I've actually bee on the board since early 09, I've changed names a couple times since then. Long story....
I actually was referring to this board being referred to as ch. 11 being around longer, longer than both of us. People here were using it when I arrived.
