OK, I've been skulking around MV for 6+ weeks now. I've read the FAQs and done several searches (both on MV and elsewhere) but can't figure out what the prefix "NSR" stands for. Am I being super-obtuse or is it some secret code.

Of course, the second I hear it I'll be saying d'oh and thinking myself even more stupid than I do now for having to ask.

NSR stands for not scooter related.

NMVR - Not Modern Vespa Related

I may have beat you by a min. but you did add a kick ass photo of you (I'm guessing that's you) about to get punched in the grill by a Victorian concrete cherub. Touché, you win!

I think that the forum should be split up way more than it is. GTS threads, PX threads, an NSR thread, ect, ect. It would help when trying to search for stuff. I a tard and can't ever find what I'm looking for.

eurgh, cherubs - they're like weasels ... really cute to look at but they'll turn on you if you so much as look at them sideways, and they've got really sharp teeth. i bet all this poor bloke did was pinch its chubby little cheek or something. that'll teach him.

That isn't new, is it? I can't see where any goofy shit threads would fit in those categories any more than in General Discussion.

Yeah, I could be wrong,
but I think that whole forum subdivision is new

And the Scooter Tag stuff used to be in the Rallies forum

Probably the management is hoping that people will give the "goofy shit threads" a rest
if other fun forum features are more readily available

We could start dividing-up the Forum into sections by relevant thread. But, where do we end the division.

Case-in-point : Bay Area Riders Forum (a.ka. BARF, another of my favorite forums to cruise). 35 different Thread Sections, from Group Rides and Social Gatherings, to Mini Bikes and Employment.

Naturally, I'm drawn to the Sink Pics & Vids since our Scooter Babes thread sunk like the Titanic. Laughing emoticon
