99.99% of content on most forums is horrible

For example, our technical article threads on CBRXX.com bring in a lot: http://www.cbrxx.com/honda-cbr-xx-technical-articles/

Honestly? Most of those are crap. Why do I say that?

Put yourself in the shoes of a Google engineer. Your sole job is to ensure that the best content for a particular search term gets to the top of the search rankings. If you fail, you're back working phone tech support for a shipping company. You're that engineer and when you search for "honda cbr performance bikes" this comes up as the first result:

http://www.cbrxx.com/honda-cbr-xx-te...er-1996-a.html

Are you going to pat yourself on the back or hope your boss doesn't search for the same thing?

You then search for "how to shorten stock cbr 1100 rear signals" and this comes up:

http://www.cbrxx.com/honda-cbr-xx-te...r-signals.html

1. The images don't show inline.
2. The images can't be seen unless you register.

Do you pat yourself on the back?

PLEASE understand i'm not picking on you. I'm guilty of this myself. My forums suck.
