Hey DMF'ers! (ok...that has a negative ring to it, eh?)
We need your help: Please spend some time today going through old emails and other ways of communication and try to contact as many Monster riders you may know as possible and let them know of the new board. We tried to notify as many people as possible but we're not sure of what's going on now over there...
We haven't done any public links yet, but we've been emailing like mad...please be a little descreet for one more day.
Being discrete is not going to be hard when no one can access the DML because the home page reads:
www.ducatimonster.org
9:00 am (EST)
DucatiMonster is currently down for site upgrades. We should be up in approximately 6-6 hours.
We will provide an update at around noon (EST). Here are some of the new features you can expect to see:
* A brand new look
* An all new home page
* DucatiMonster Ride of the Month contest
* and more!
Thanks for your support!
DucatiMonster team
glad the tinfoil hats were passed out when they were ;)
I just noticed that I can't access the other board due to upgrades. I've already gone on record as being ready to bail out of that one as soon as it changed enough to be unrecognizable. Looks like I was invited here just in time. ;)
If it has truly been screwed up, I'll go find that old message and post a followup with a goodbye message in it.
Often good things are spoiled by success, and we might be witnessing another example of that. There are quite a few other web sites that I have abandoned when they got a bit too commercial and forgot what made them successful in the first place.
Thanks, guys, for creating a good alternative here.
Will start sendin e-mails then...!! ;D
alot of the old origional guys (way pre-VS days) from duc.MS also started a new forum....I let them know over there about the new board here....their new board is www.youride.us !!!

I'll second that! And thanks for showing me the way here DP. be::
(I believe I still owe you a beer anyway) forget the hookers though ;)
What brought me to this group originally was the fact that it was a huge wealth of knowledge for all things Monster. I was really missing that on the DML and I hope we can bring that back here.

Speaking of wealth of knowledge, did anyone invite Brad Black?

Not yet...the OB went down sooner than expected.
I hop one of his Aussie compatriots will do it before the OB comes back.
I'm sure it was sooner than they expected as well. I think everyone jumping ship kinda forced thier hand...

just sent an email to him by way of his site with an invite. Love to see him make an appearance.
also sent word to Mist Hurst who instructs for CSS and input a lot into riding techniques.
Said I would vote with my feet, I'm glad to find old friends.
I will let folks know on the UKMOC
Not that anyone knows who I am (200-odd posts at TOB), but I found you guys from a link over there. I don't even miss the old site anymore :) Thanks!

The Other Board
So many threads about this board and the old board I'm not sure which one to post in. ::) So... Out of curiousity... Is there a copyright or trademark on the "Ducati Monster List" name?
I think it was part of the 'property' that was sold to VS.
did somebody tell norm??
no idea. It doesn't hurt to tell people more than once. It looks like a lot of people are planning to leave the DML but do no know where to go.
Be aware that if you post www.ducatimonsterworldwide.org on the DML (even in a PM), it will automatically censor it. You can post it with spaces or a zero instead of "o" or in other creative ways.

I PMd some folks on the DML and apparently they have the ability to FUBAR them.

If your PM includes "ducatimonsterworldwide" in it anywhere, it gets modified. Best to use e-mail if you can, or encode the name so that automatic checkers won't realize what you're doing.
I've put out the word on other forums, which has helped a number of people find this one.
I'll post on BARF - That will get a lot of views.
Nevermind...scott's on top of it...

I "modded" my tar over at the DML. :e:v

Two questions: I was fairly new to the old Board...do I need an invitation to come over here? I can't stand the new layout!
and does anyone know the new website for my local club MADDOG? I guess they left and created a new forum but VS deleted the link for it in TOB.
Thanks,

Click on FORUM above, scroll down a ways, there it is. Go check in there.
If you've already posted here, you don't need an additional invitation. I think all you need to do is create an account, post something in the newbie section, and you're set.
Found out from a post on DesmoNorthWest. I was worried about losing track of this group!
We gotta have at least one Heath

I posted two threads yesterday at the other site "Start the Revolution" and "I found the way"... both were deleted by the Mods. I am surprised I didn't get a point but maybe i am the only senior premium member that is still listed there. I also started to delete my posts, especially those that related to advice. I was able to delete three before it would no longer allow me to delete. I noticed more people using the devil avatar. That works. mo:t:
This should help the DMF (http://www.ca-cycleworks.com/docs/links) in searches. Looks like we need to work on our own google-fu though. :P

Oh I am spreading.....
