The Thread about Nothing....

[Wilchemy]

hehehe...good to see the departure of TAT is causing waves.

That's what happens when you nuke the RoadBike equivalent of a popular chat show. Lots of viewers stayed tuned to what was a basically a panel of assorted clowns crapping on about pretty much anything but with a general retun to cycling now and then.

marty...welcome aboard, and the other crew from bf too! (and marty to respond to one of your last comments on the TAT before the end....I have the Ry Cooder soundtrack to Crossroads!)

ahaha you have been riding longer than me! I just mainly read bf for the mechanics and posted in the Aussie thread. The ss/fg was also good for a laugh.

The Classic and Vintage subforum and the Touring subforum were also very interesting and informative. Road cycling unfortunately had deteriorated significantly in the past few months, very few even remotely informative threads.

Just been checking the Tour de France subforum over on BF - one very defensive KB at the mere mention of deleting stuff (she's been merging and moving all the Flandis threads)

I moved that particular thread to trash, and posted a sticky with a bit
of a warning. To be honest I'm getting sick of some of the stuff that I'm
seeing going on there. Basically I told folks play nice or I'll invite them
to a vacation from BF.
Yah a bit harsh for me (I usually only ban spammers unless someone
is totally out of line), but I'm fed up with it. Hell I'd close down the entire
Tour de France subforum except I know it would just spill over somewhere else.

Jeez, I guess that means I'm one of the blokes who started the piss-up. I feel like a pioneer

When I first got on there I thought me and Thylo were the only Aussies (hence my less than imaginative user name), and I thought he was in Tassie. Then Hitchy and Ed got on there shortly after that. Thylo used to have some grouse arguments with Don D.

Gday fellow reffos from BF - and everyone else

matagi is on the ball.

I'm another reffo from BF - IMO one uninformed disagreeable opinionated mod, instead of reacting in an appropriate manner (ie, PM telling one or two to pull their heads in )has taken a scattergun approach, flipped out, gone apeshiessen and spoilt something for everyone. Claims she even spent significant time in OZ. Dunno how she even survived - takes herself far to seriously to have lasted more than 5 minutes.

There were comments about this being 'an American website and you'll show respect and I'm a mod and demand respect' that had me in stitches. I always thought respect was earnt? And what does 'www' stand for?

Great to see lotek pop in for a visit. Good on ya!

Anyways, enough of that guff. Cheers.

[Cyclaholic]

Yet another ozzie here disappointed to see the demise of TAT due to the insecurities of a thin skinned seppo.

[willocrew]
