Moving 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.

Re: Moving On
I think that perhaps the only really active left on this entire site are the cycling training and power forums. Some quite interesting discussions taking place there most of the time, worth reading if you want to get fast.

Re: Moving On
Here here Bro. I've been a member there for a few months. It's only a new site... but it has software similar to here... and some added features. The more people that join there (TCP) from here... the better it will be. And they allow new members of course. In fact... some have joined at TCP complaining that they have been forced to lurk on CF because they haven't been given posting privileges here.
It will be sad to see the demise of this site if new members are continually prevented from joining... but it doesn't seem like the owner has any interest in communicating with the membership. Note - BTW I have no connection or interest in the TCP forum site... other than wanting as many CFers to join as possible.

 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?

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? |

Re: Moving On
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.
