Default Paceline down? theories?

The Paceline is down, any theories?

Bambi over on DP thinks it is because of "trolls". Such a pathetic term, quite unedifying for an adult to use, hence House' invocation ten times per minute.

So, should Vader et al take credit for shining a little light?

Did Chris Brewer or Cathy Mehl figure to pull the switch because of the PR hit they were taking, and some Paceliners figuring the dopers from the dopes.

Serves them right.

Mehl covering herself in glory over on DP, with the hit on Betsy Andreu.

I really didn't pay attention, did folks do anything more that just posting about the OMG idea that Discatana riders are not clean?

Is that what really brought the discovery fan forum um I mean astana fan forum down? A few posts from people that don't agree with the cult?

it was the malignancy, they co-opt a team, throw Kloden out, disown him as a loner, and "not-to-be-trusted". Everything is smelling roses, the uranium spot price is high, and the mineral economy booming - "Go Astana!".

It may have only been one post, but the post on Kloden was instructive to the mentality over there.

but why shut down the forum, just ban the non-believers... I don't get it, but I guess I'm in the evil camp as I post here.

Chris t/Thunder, you still follow what I post at DP????

I said at DP:
And partly thanks to the trolls here they had to shut the PL forum down.

see the PARTLY part??? Guess not...

Anyway your trolling didn't do the trick, more likely this:
The forum is/was owned by Tailwind, so maybe you were right, Lance was probably reading it too!!! So it's caput now.

If Tailwind really was/is the owner, then I wouldn't be surprised if the whole site goes away. After all, why would they care anymore? Unless someone else picks up the tab, like I don't know, Team Astana perhaps?
