    It is shoot. I blame the same people matthew h blamed, I blame him, and I also blame the hub.

    The whole point of this forum was to post things that weren't about bikes, and if someone asked a stupid question or made a stupid comment, they were hounded for it.

    The hub made this forum a place to simply be offensive/sarcastic/d1ckish but with no content. So it's pretty much dead. Well done BikeRadar.

    Can't argue with that. I generally look at the forum, to see if anything good will happen. I feel as though I'm looking in the wrong place

    Now that was shit I'm sorry to say, if you want that it's got to be the Big Girls thread in Bottom Bracket :D

    There was that too. I miss the days where someone would ask a genuine question, like 'what car should I buy', and it would go for about 4/5 pages until surfmat eventually said something about a 335d. Nowadays, someone mentions 'car' and everyone jumps on it. It's sad. It's like I Am Legend, but with d1ckery.

    So, anyway. What car should I buy?

    Nope, it's just not the same. I like 335d estates anyway

    I agree, and seeing as no one else has commented to suggest otherwise, I think they must be!

    Nice try, but no-one is stupid enough to buy that overpriced tat nowadays.

    On a serious note, I felt this place change when the 'rate my breakfast/lunch/etc' stopped. I bet you hipsters were posting the pics on instagram or some other beardy, fixie rider nonsense.

    I blame everyone.

    Utter shambles.

    Just a thought - did the hub and the cake stop (roadie version of the hub?) get introduced at the same time? Has the Bottom Bracket suffered the same fate?
  • thekickingmule

    I think they did (though I never go on the roadie section - I have standards). There was a huge shake up at the time as a few threads had kicked off and gone 'a bit too far' according to Mods. The decision was taking by people up on high to split the 'Not Bike Talk' section into 2.

    Worst decision BR has made. Is there anywhere we could make a complaint? Maybe we could get the hub and CC joined back together?

    The hub is even deader than the CC though. Same happened with the lycra luvvies, though there is a bit more going on over there, obviously I have no standards. They complained about the split too and were basically told that was the way of things and that the powers that be would rather get rid of the not bike related bits altogether. So if they kept complaining the site owners would just take their ball back. I think that pretty much covers it.

    Do we have ladies on here, I mean as forum goers?
    If not, why not simply have more porn? Maybe bike related porn, or hairy 70's porn, or hairy bike related porn from the 70's. the roadies could do the same with their forum, swapping out the ladies for something a bit closer to their own interests.
    We could start gentle with nudist cyclists to give it some respectability and culture before we gently add more pink bits.
    Porn? It's a question, but it could also be an answer.
    I'm new, so may have missed something, but why is this not a thing?
