Trying to contact a moderator regarding sponsorship.

Hi everyone,

My name is Erik. I won an Husqvarna Nuda 900 and a Husqvarna SM630. I have been quite active on the 900nuda forum lately. I work at a motorcycle dealership where I manage two webshops (a Husqvarna webshops and a specialized Nuda webshop) and help managing two others (MV Agusta webshop and Ducati webshop). I won't post the links in respect for the sponsors.

I have been trying to contact someone responsible for the CafeHusky sponsorship for a couple of weeks now. Sadly I haven't received a response so far. So now I will try contacting the proper people this way!

we have all been having a hard time with this lately...sorry

I think Coffee is the man to contact. He might be busy.

What is a Husqvarna Webshop?

"Husqvarna Webshop" Internet parts sales maybe? Is that what he's talking about or does he mean another riders forum?

By the way, the question should be, does this forum have Moderators that we as basic "lowly" members can actually contact?

Yes, I see them listed to the right on the home page when they may be online.

Even got contacted by one in the past, more than once in fact but not when I and a few others were trying to contact anyone of them. They seem to get ahold of you when they need to, not the other way around from my experience.

This is the worst moderated forum I came across so far. A pity really as it has good information and members.
I tried for the last 2 months to get hold of someone as my posts always await moderation for days - weeks. The post is hardly relevant anymore or when I try to help a member they can't see the post or miss it as it appears a week later.
No response or solution so far.
I'm an admin at another forum and we have our day to sort things out. One admin and one mod per day at least. One of us always take over if anyone is away or so.
If you can't find 7- 14 people to help out it is very sad.

i think there are a few few people here who arent mods but would be willing to step up and help. people that are on here quite a bit. who can be contacted about that?

If you think this forum is the only one who gets spam you are mistaken my friend! I can't count the amount spam we get and the number of IP addresses I have blocked since I became an admin on superduke.net!

I agree.... on another post in cafe I saw 3-4 say they would help including me

The online sales of parts, accessories and merchandise.
But the level of moderation that this forum receives is stunning. Especially because this is the largest Husky community on the World Wide Web!
I agree that spam is quite a large issue to deal with but there has to be a better solution. How are larger forums on the web handling it?
Also it is quite annoying that I have to wait 1-3 weeks before a post is approved.

i think there's enough of every thing needed to to keep this GREAT SITE going but we need to find Coffee and get a new helmsman

I had a dream that this site was taken over by Zip Ty Racing. IMO provides a social and technical forum that keeps the eyeballs where they should, on the Husqvarna products, then and now. Can be a write off to maintain if a loss, but if kept as a loose affiliation can still benefit from existing sponsors and dealers if handled right. Forums such as this keep a user tied into those that support the brand while the manufacturers move to new models. Like consolidation everywhere, businesses need a forum or discussion group that can work both ways... Inform the consuming public and be a window into the users/racers/customers needs and wants, which can help in developing a new products and bolster it's development of same as has been the case with many products already. Clearly it's going to take all of Tinken's time and someone else's but... If this site is going away it should be passed to an entity that can benefit a growing company and growing user base at the same time not drop kick an entire user group.

That was just a dream I had... Nothing more

thats a nice dream almost as good as mine where my wife gives birth to dirt bikes which she might hafta do if this site dies we will both be like

Kelly, don't you have coffee's number? There is plenty of us who are willing to do what we can to help, including me.

Yikes. I took some time away from forums in general, because real-life had me so busy. I had no idea Coffee was MIA.
