I think you have got to rationalize this forum

I realise that you probably had to try and satisfy everyone's wants and needs, but there is so much overlap and duplication by trying to treat MTB and Road riding as seperate entities.

Many of us do both, so maybe we do 95% of one, but it doesn't mean we have no understanding of the other "code", and many issues are common to both.

So having 2 beginners sections, know-how, rides, stolen and cakeshop/wmb arms etc, is a nonsense.

Come on, we have more in common than seperates us, lets get together...come on, come on!!! Otherwise the forum will drive me nuts!

    Wont work, Simply because they are 2 different things completely, I dont want to have to sift through loads of road rides to find a mountainbiking meeting related topic.

    As for the Sandbox/Cakestop/WMB arms, Just no, They are also completely different things aimed at different personalities,

    Not all of us do both, And attempting to mix all the disciplines together would end in bloodshed. And with good reason. Peaople are pissed off as it is over this without the while lot being thrown into a blender and mixed up.

    Basicly what we need is the forums seperated a bit better within the disciplines, Like on MBUK the riding styles were in one section: DH, dirtjumping, Street, Trials, Racing and that other one that everyone does, Then there was Off topic, General and Sandbox in its own little area, Made so much more sense.

    Why couldn't they put all the different MTB "riding" forums under a single heading with sub-forum links inside? Would make the front page of the forum a much neater and more user friendly place

    this is rubbish compared to the old and why mix the 2 dissaplines its not like u can take a road bike down a mountain track or a downhill bike along the road it would be maddness

    Also its to white, i liked the old one on your old site. No one is eva on this its practicly dead whilst the old one was thriving and alive as well as being much more user friendly
