[6pack] ??

Fri Jul 15 15:06:40 MDT 2011

Hi Bud,

David Fidler here, I'm the editor of 6-PACK magazine and an avid 6-PACK
forum user.

I know you are set in your ways on this and that's fine, but I just wanted
to clarify a few things that you seem to have the wrong idea about.

When you register on the forums, you can participate in ALL of them, you
don't have to just sign up for one. They are categorized to make it simpler
to find the topics you're interested in, electrical, mechanical, club news
etc. etc. You can chose to follow any thread that interests you and you will
receive an e-mail telling your when someone posts to it.

It is a VERY friendly place to hang out, there's no coldness and no
brinksmanship or anything like that, just people who want to help, or need
help... much like the e-mail list you enjoy so much.

Joining 6-PACK is really simple, you just click on "shop & join" and follow
the links and look for the 1 or 2 year option. The problem you referred to
was fixed a long time ago and was only a problem for a short while...
Murphy's Law that you chose to try to join at that time!

Or, you can just send a cheque for $35 to Ray Suchta, 121 Lexington Drive,
Canonsburg, PA 15317 and provide your name, address and e-mail address and
tell him you want to join 6-PACK.

The member only areas of the website are there to encourage people to join,
if we don't have paying members, we can't have a website/forums etc., simple
as that. So we would LOVE to have you join the club officially and receive
all of the benefits, including a first class magazine and events.

Why not give it another try? If you're not 100% happy with your membership,
you've only spent $35 and I'm sure we can even look into reimbursing you if
it's a really that bad. I'm confident you'll enjoy it and find it great
value.

I will send you a sample copy of the magazine in a separate e-mail, so I
don't clog up this list.

Best regards,

David (Fid)

Bob,

I have nothing against the 6pack forum but maybe I should at least  
explain my thinking.  Here's my take.

I find forums set up like the 6-pack forum to be cold.  I've tried  
other forums like that such as the Ford truck forum, and a RC plane  
forum and they all seem less personal than the email lists.   I guess  
its just my personal reaction to all the categories and sections.  I  
have no idea what category to be in or what to read or what to sign up  
for.  And I don't want to sign up for them all.  I know attachments  
and pictures are supposed to be an advantage on the forum but there's  
so many ways to convey info on the internet that isn't a huge plus for  
me.  I obviously don't get it...what the big attraction is.  I can  
understand organized, engineer type thinking people liking the forum  
but that doesn't describe me.  I'm more of a Triumph generalist I  
guess and like to read about cars other than just the 6 bangers.

My experience is that certain things on the 6-pack forum aren't  
available to a guest and I can't seem to satisfy the registration  
requirements.  It's a major pain to try over and over again only to  
have to retype everything every time so I just gave up.

Enough people are still on the 6pack and general Triumph email list  
that I always get questions answered so I guess I'll muddle along.  At  
least I have an idea of who I'm talking to on the list...whereas I  
don't recognize anyone on the 6-pack forum but I know that's a  
function of having been on the list for 14 years.  Its just easier  
knowing who the ramblers/chatters are and who the tech/knowhow people  
are and I've developed my internal calibration over the years to pick  
and choose which to read and I'll do both depending on time available  
and mood.   I'm comfortable stuck in my rut I guess.

Glad to hear the cruise control info was useful to some.  I take  
solace knowing that anything of value from the forum will show up on  
the list from the folks that do both, like you.

Regards
Bud Rolofson
