I understand that I have to keep wondering who is forcing you all to read those posts? I have over half the forum filtered out and have had several members on ignore, there isn't any reason for anyone to read anything they don't want to. If anyone wants to post a bunch of boring threads about the stupid ride you took yesterday or what kind of oil you use, feel free. I know, let's all go on rides tomorrow and then post pics of our odometers and of course our bikes... No let's all start a thread every single time we ride our bikes more than 50 miles and then post pics of our rims.

Better yet let's all wash our bikes and start a thread about it... Those threads aren't any more interesting than the cell phone threads IMHO.

How do you filter the forum? I don't read the threads, I just happen to notice most threads rarely involve bikes. I really don't care, I just look for the forum the thread was made in (street/track, etc) and then read the thread title. Apparently you're more butt hurt than I am about it.

In usercp you can select forums you don't want to see.

It's really easy and it's great if you post from your phone. New posts only include thread topics that you are interested in. But I guess if you'd rather just sit around and whine about thread topics...

No, it's not about being "butt hurt" or anything, I just filter out any thread topics that I'm not interested in. Like the "New Riders" threads or "Sports" threads or the "Politics and Religion" stuff, that's all. I get Sport Rider but I don't get Cosmo, it's not that I'm "butt hurt" about Cosmo, I'm just not interested. Simple.

Sorry, but people who put others on ignore or filter threads when there are no threats against them is weaksauce IMO.

Why look at threads about things you have no interest in? Like I bet there are several "track day" threads but I'll never know...
