Bike Radar seems to be an object lesson in how to wipe out not one, but several lively online forums.

Congratulations.

    If people were to stop throwing temper tantrums and throwing their toys out of the pram and try to make this place work and be more communal, then this place would be just as good, if not better than the old forums on their own.

    It's all down to people making what it is.

    HJ, as Nick said, you're a part of the solution, we need more people like you =)
