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? 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-whores. Look at this forum for instance...

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 . . . .

I'll add this suggestion to the thread in the Cafe.

I noticed Bianchigirl posts there! It cannot be half bad.

Yeah, some crazy person took that thread off topic bro. You should bring it up there to bring the thread back around . . .

What about Bro's "Other Forum Follies" thread? We've curve-balled that one onto "Methods for Exterminating an Unwanted Spouse"...

It has a 'doping news' thread that is 110 pages long. Doping being discussed with the racing is nice; most sites disallow that. The mixture of nationalities is nice too; that is one thing I liked about this site.

This looks really promising.
