Moving On

Spammer. As the saying goes...If you think it is, then it is.

Pity you can't apply that to the mountain of evidence that a certain cyclist took dope.

Bro what's the count on pro Bruyneel threads & Astana chat ? I need stats before I move on....

Maybe this counts as spam, but this site is now barely on life

support. No new members have been given permission to post since the Great Spam Flood that occurred many months ago. The 'User CP' link does not work. You can still edit your account by taking a quick link, but if you change your e-mail address then your account becomes useless. The owner has abandoned the site, is too busy to maintain it, or is dead.

Forums like the Cafe and Tech that rely upon noobs have, of course, wilted. Other forums contain virtually nothing but old spam threads. Forums that still have activity are only being kept alive by long term members who are clinging to site, and even those members are slowly dwindling. In short this place will soon be dead.

Anyway a bunch of us in the GT forum have decided to move to the forum at http://www.thecyclepeople.com/forum/index.php It looks like a better choice than those over-moderated forums like RBR and BF. 😄 And the owner seems willing to add forums or features that the members request. Check it out.

very active, good mix of posters from UK/Europe/US, self moderating (no mods)

Hmm... interesting... needs further surveillance... We probably need to send the Bro in for reconnaissance. But it does have the critical mass already in place. Is there anything missing or any downside there that you have experienced?

C: You should probably think about taking some creative writing classes since you sort of sound sarcastic. I know you are trying to convey a serious tone so it must be a mistake in sentence structure. 🙄

😄

Well, at least you didn't get on me about the typo regarding "your" when it should have been "you're." 🙄

Ok, let me clarify here as that apparently did not come across as I intended.

J is of course a ladies man. Just ask all of those snow bunnies following him around on the slopes. 😉

And, he can give a good thumping when provoked. I was simply assigning more class to him than he would apparently like as he seems to so badly long for the reputation of beating people up at Waffle Houses for no apparent reason . . . in reality, he has the very complicated formula down to a perfected science of % of bad boy versus % of gentleman. And, he's never ungentlemanly to the ladies, which is why he in fact is the ladies man that he is . . .

Is that better j? The bill's in the mail btw. 😄

I don't know. I checked the road racing forum, and the tenth thread hasn't seen a reply since Bastille Day. Cranky's poll has 4 votes total. It doesn't seem more active than this forum. I'd say it's even less active than here. The only advantage seems to be that they let new members in. How is it moderated?

It isn't active because it's only been created since Feb. The attraction is that if everyone mass migrates from here then it will be as active as here... with more responsive admin... and ability for new members to join. It does require a critical mass of people migrating though. Micron's site may overcome this problem... but we have the ability to influence the set-up at the TCP site.

OMG...if we send you OR Bro we might not ever see you again...they have an ENTIRE thread devoted to movies...and one to cricket.

Of course I like to include all my pop culture pasttimes in one thread...😉

Anyway...their "Coffee Lounge" seemed like maybe some people over there could own a personality.

It baffled me that the Coffee Lounge forum still had a spelling mistake in it's title ("Coffe Lounge"😉. That either means not much admin/mod interference (good) or next to no admin support (sometimes bad). Probably the former... otherwise it wouldn't have the membership.

You never know...it could be an inside joke...? But I did notice that too.

I've read that forum a few times and couldn't stand the stupid and infantile bickering between a few of the high-count posters (Mrs John Murphy and Cape Roadie)

And I think I remember seeing that the owner had not been there for quite awhile.

oooooo...infantile bickering...is it the kind that "we" could disrupt? :p Some of "us" have been known to be disruptive...

Some even need restraint...😄

Well we're movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up,
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.

Fish don't fry in the kitchen;
Beans don't burn on the grill.
Took a whole lotta tryin',
Just to get up that hill.
Now we're up in the big leagues,
Gettin' our turn at bat.
As long as we live, it's you and me baby,
There ain't nothin wrong with that.

no admin/mod interference - the guy who set it up is Spanish but moves around a lot, hence the spelling mistake and the reason it got left that way.

It was set up after the BBC and Eurosport boards were radically changed to become overmoderated hellholes

My suggestion would be try both alternatives - the core posters at justcycling like new challenges 😉

I think the high-count posters in any forum are usually infantile bickering post-[censored]. Look at this forum for instance... [img]cyclingforums.comtongue.gifOpen ↗[/img]

what do you mean? As usual, you have no idea what you're talking about, just flapping your lips and letting your fingers type all kinds of nonsense.

Hey, check this out. Come to find out there's another duplicate thread with the same title . . . and this one isn't all about the jman . . . 😄

Huh. Amazing what you discover when you actually check out other threads in the forum . . .

Hey, did you guys know the Vuelta's going on now too? 😄

Anyway, you need to make up your mind. Because you're starting to sound like you're going to troll the place as opposed to find us a new home . . . remember the mission guys . . . . find a new home . . . .
