The Aussie Thread versus This Forum is Dying Thread

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

Is the thread "This Forum is Dying" a poor imitation of "the Aussie thread"?


It has to be. You have Americans, some Dutch German dude who calls himself a hero, and other folks posting in it, a crazy drunk Irishmen... some pommie bastards posting too...

Actually, FID appears to be a lot more exciting as supposedly there are a lot more lurkers there, right Cranky? ;)

More cycling is discussed in the TAN than in FID. Thus, it appears to me that the FID is actually the reigning champ of being . . . well . . . about nothing.

He lives in America. Gimme a break already. He's one of us now (except for the times that I don't wanna claim him, like the post above. :p )

Hey... I've made a 100 or so posts in the TAN thread (only three replies back to those posts though..:rolleyes: ). They're a good bunch. They at least don't have any objections to meeting each other in person....

But the FID is not the TAN. We rock!!

Here's a thought Crankmeister . . . perhaps they don't object to meeting in person because um . . . well . . . there's not quite the same spice shall we say, in the TAN?????? Just a thought . . . .

And who said they weren't meeting in person? I thought you were buying mine and NNS's airfare to our scrapbooking/spa weekend?

And, btw, were those replies from me in the TAN? That doesn't count.

(and if an TAN members are lurking, which I doubt since it's summer there and they actually do things like, oh, ride their bikes . . . I'm just playin'. I love you guys.)

What the hell . . . I have to get my post count up outside of the FID.:p

Wait a minute, woe . . . you thought I was taking you to the Tour of CA? Remember, I was the one that said I'd head to Napa while you all went to TofC, and see you all back on the forum. ;) :p
