I think we shoud go lightly. That forum has a chance to become very influential because it should attract a lot of peeps who check cyclingnews for info. We should make sure it becomes a reality based community rather than a Paceline clone.

I meant, bring influence. Not comic sock puppets. Then again, I went meta on the guy with my own post.

They'd be better off employing a decent editor or some fact-checkers IMO.

I'm not even going to discuss all the farking advertorials.

I would think "farking infotainment" for the "top of the town" or the "daily planet" would be improvement.
