Moving On

Are you sure you're at the right one? We flip-flopped about half way through the thread to a micron recommendation that so far is pretty darn good... about as ideal as one could hope for.

Ok, I went there, registered, posted, and I'm good. It needs a little bit to get used to and I think it has a little bit less functionality, but so far so good. I'll be mostly over there from now on I guess.

I am not sure you guys get what makes a good forum. Idiots like House are very important. You also need nutjobs like Whereagle who are only able to function when they take their crazy pills. A few fat crazy [censored] like Kathy Mehl

The best forum ever was the Paceline.

funny. I know Cathy Mehl and she doesn't at all resemble that remark. Maybe you are looking in a mirror and got confused?

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?

As pro cycling goes, so goes bike forums. Cycling has been a pit of discontent and scandals the last few years and with the downfall of the elite, doping or not, the wind was taken from the sails.
It is a sad state of affairs that much of the mystique has been drained from what was a magical arena, if only a passing illusion.
There is really no one left in the ranks of the pros that evokes admiration or hate as to create controversy, and how many times can you tell someone to go to the damn bike shop for advise.
If you need to check your pulse every 15 mins. to see if you are dead, you probably are.
Analogy over and back to sarcasm.

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 thecyclepeople.comindex.phpOpen ↗ 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.
