Angry Hey out there, are you listening?

You asked us to tell you what we think. Well, here is what I think. The spamming is becoming untenable again, but the spammers have sunk to new lows. Those that have realized that no one looks at their threads have begun posting thier spam ads in other peoples threads, look in the Bike Cafe under the thread Dear Mr. Bike Expert, page 4. It is bad enough having to sort through all the spam thread titles looking for something related to bicycling, now we have to sort through the spam in the threads themselves to find anything related to bicycling. This is getting ridiculous. Many of us have offered to help you out but it seems to be falling on deaf ears. This used to be teh best bicycling forum on the internet but it is now in serious trouble because of the permitted proliferation of spam. As I have said in the past, what used to be cycling forums has become spammer's forums.

kdelong, don't waste your time or energy. The admin is either dead or simply DOESN'T CARE.

I am going to get my post count up to 5000 then retire.

Posting to a site is like building a community. You have to have faith that the time you invest is worthwhile, though. You can easily spend the same time helping build another site. Since the owner doesn't care about this site and it's future is dubious, spending time here is a waste.

Don't leave us Bro. I'm sure that Lim will keep the GT section clean; so no reason for you to retire.
