I'm over at cycle chat now; I think it's achieved its critical mass and it's lumbering along the runway, getting up speed. Apart from the general soullessness of this place now, I think I wouldn't come back as long as the peculiarly obnoxious and arrogant Mr Louse seems to be in a position of influence. It's probably only a matter of time before they see him for the liability he is and ditch him.0

Well, we certainly need the enemies with us - not much of a Soapbox if everybody agreees with each other.
OK, I'll make Cyclechat my cyberresidence too.0 -

oh don't be such a toffee nosed tart.
you only don't like him because he's an MTBer and he's a mod and you're not.0 -
Aimed at whoever critiscised the Louse:
If he was a roadie you'd fucking love him.
He has been a MBUK forum legend for a long time and banned a lot of people you would find a hell of a lot more annoying. What exactly is your problem with him anyway?0 -
They are clearly just morons, I'm assuming they think they are clever, and they look down on him, becuase he doesn't fill his posts with middle class ramblings.0

I think it's a shame that the forum member mentioned on the OP have left for another site. I've been chatting with these guy's for years. I'm not saying I've always agreed with them, but I for one will miss them.0

I don't think nicklouse "came across" too well in the first days of the forum when most of the C+ "refugeesl" were not in the slightest bit pleased - he did at time come across as heavey handed and arrogant. Maybe a bit more understanding would have helped. I have stuck here, and have read some more of his posts and he seems to be okay - pity the first few days had such an effect. First impressions and all that - I would have thought someone who was a moderator could have found a bit more decorum when encoutered by the obvious rantings of the disaffected.
Oh well, we live and learn (hopefully), you shallow MTB halfwits 0 -

Have to say I agree, Mr NickLouse came across as a prize twat of the highest order, to see all the hero worship is very funny and makes you look like a bunch of sycophants. The Devil Wears Prada:
"What kind of sycophant are you?"
"What kind would you like me to be?"
However, I'm inclined to give you the benefit of the doubt and will allow a second impression to overwhelm the first.
So on behalf of all us middle class w@nkers from C+ a grovelling apologies to his mighty-ness and his disciples...
"We're not worthy"
"We're not worthy"
"We're not worthy"
"We're not worthy"

I think her-in lies the main issue...
It's not that roadies and MTB'ers don't get on or don't share common interests, BUT, we have all chosen forums which best suit our interests and are places of comfort with like minded souls. I can see how some young gun from the wilder ways of MTB could find C+ a forum of boring old farts, but we do have a certain wit and charm and "In-jokes" that give us a warm glow.
Hence many MB'ers and Roadies have migrated to other fora to be with the people they want to be with rather than have to deal with a zillion new people , attitudes and topics.
Unfortunately Future just don't understand that.
I'm sure we'd enjoy a beer together!0 -

Don't you think that any major change will have its problems and we all just have to wait for the dust to settle.
The fact that all the forums are thrown together doesn't mean we have to use them all. I ain't interested in anything outside the road section so I haven't bothered with anything else and so see little difference to the C+ forum other than layout/function method.
IMO, FWIW, too many rattles were thrown out of prams when the transfer happened.0 -
From my point of view, I don't have a problem with BR itself. It's just like the MTB forums I've been around in the past. I used to pop in from time to time, but didn't really hang around.
It's as if the local pubs have all been merged into one which is now more like the one next door which I didn't feel as comfortable in so rarely visited. So why would I hang around in it and let things settle? It's not going to change. It's ok for a quick pint, but I wouldn't make it my local. They've taken out the snug and now it's just one huge, noisy bar.
I'd rather go round to my mate's front room, which he has very kindly opened up to anyone who wants to pop in.__________________________________________________________

What ? :shock: I don't think you'll find anybody sucking-up to FM on C+ That is funny. In fact I think you'll find more people take the mick out of FM than sing his praises.
Well you've brightened my day already LOL!0 -

I went to Ireland for a few days and when I came back this travesty had happened! Sorry if I have missed the boat a bit, but what is the point of this new site? The old one was just fine, and there wasn't twenty levels of mtb subjects on it either. It is like my local has disappeared!!Dave0

Careful pizzaman, you'll have the mods on to you for posts like that, you're not at home now. 0

It is like my horse-brass sporting timber beamed pub has been turned into a Wetherspoons... and one doing a special on 'Aftershock'!
I am only 30, by the way, so I am not quite an old fart yet, and just to make sure Joe Sacco doesn't worry, no, I am not resistant to change, where change is helpful or needed. I am resistant to change that is so manifestly unecessary.
Snorri... is the moderating here harsh?Dave0 -
