Hi Trev
I do recognise your user name so have no doubt that you've been around a bit. Not sure it's fair calling any of the guys and gals who timewarped into this thread post counters to be honest.
Most of the, indeed, high post counts are a result of many years of being on the forum and probably very little have been added in the past couple of years. A lot of the "post counters" did more than their share of organising, helping, contributing to the success of the forum.
As for changing the name I think it would be a sad day, though I take the points offered for it, the internet has changed and it is a bit more sanitised than it used to be so maybe it's right to question if FOC-U is offensive, personally I don't think it is.
I too, mourn the passing of the Fazer thou, but in all honesty the forum was built on the back of the 600, the thou owners only ever had a small caged off area, and they were generally left alone, apart from being poked with a stick every now and then.
I'm not a prolific poster any more, not analysed why to be honest, I guess things just change, the internet certainly has, but I suppose if I had to sum it up, FOC-U is a forum I am a member of, in times gone by FOC-U was the motorcycle club I belonged to. I think thats the difference, if I've managed to makes sense with that ?
However, I had a question about touring and I never thought for minute about posting it anywhere other than here, and I got the helpful reply's I knew I would get,so, as far as I'm concerned long live FOC-U, whatever form it takes.

The only real Fazer is a carbed 600.
