I'm sure the people who use CF to access Usenet's cycling forums count.

I don't see anywhere with an overall number of posts, so it is probably up to a person to use whatever they felt was appropriate. If the number of non-spam posts in only forums and not gatways to Usenet were counted, then I can't imagine this forum beating out any other cycling forum.

I run a private forum with 15 users that has as much activity on a busy week as the two subforums here that I read... if you don't count the spam.

Ugh! The spamming is getting worse and worse. It is as if spammers are breeding exponentially like bacteria. The cycling training and power training sections are really getting slammed.

I don't know if it is the spammers that are worse, or the one person in a million that actually buys something from them that keeps them doing it...

If I ever need a cheap pair of shoes or cell phone from an unethical company, I'll sure know where to find them.
