BR Forum closes Mon 17 March - join the emigrants over on Cycle Chat!
Just in case anyone hasn't seen the announcement from management, this whole forum will disappear up its own fundament on Monday, and everything will be deleted.
We've already go a good contingent over on Cycle Chat, and we're congregating here:
See you on the other side, if you're not there already!

wtf 😮
Someone needs to get the good stuff scraped (and by that I mean the lanterne threads!)

I think things are starting to break already, so might be too late.

With televised cycling going behind a paywall as well that's probably me out of following the sport altogether, other than checking the occasional newspaper story.

Like I said before, we are going back to 1984 level of coverage*. Been there, done that. Life was fuller.
*Or getting screwed financially, or going hokey, or relying on YT.
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Another forum software to learn

I think people underestimate how good a historical records some of these forums are . They literally record what people thought during historical times ... The Floyd I wrote a letter thread ....shame that's gone

I am upset that this happened with so little empathy

In CS, I shall miss the occasional trawl back through the Brexit thread, which extended to over 2000 pages and 1.2m views, and is still quite interesting to see the forum view evolving.
And it's been a while, but I used to enjoy the occasional leg strength threads and some epic debunking.
Oh well, like life itself, everything must end sooner or later. Sooner in the case of BR.

Wiggle, ripped off, muncher, non-motorised delivery bike (with a motor), salmonfish guy (before he went full homophobe), lots of the race threads (better when Richmond & AtC were around).
Had a lot of entertainment over the years., thanks all.

Does anybody else ever wonder if Alberto Contador still checks under his bed in case Frenchie is hiding there?

I met him (french fighter) a couple of times. Once in the presence of one of his biggest critics. It was a good evening.

What about you @TheBigBean ? You going to patronise people in Cycle Chat, or reclaim 3 hours a day of your time?

Jamiedodgeruk is going to be ecstatic that he can finally put his humiliation behind him. I'll be glad no-one can see my PTP picks over he years!

That's a point, actually - Cav's career very nearly survived longer than the thread saying he should pack it in

I guess BR was his era

Image how insightful it would be to historians 200 years from.now . What would historians give to have the chat from a Napoleonic era community
I remember the bank and forth on 911 WMD and Iraq on several forums that were erased . Pretty much the time Iraq went belly up and the financial crash . "DELETED* it happens a lot for budgeting reasons but it not the only reason

Poor Chris Froome is going to have to carry on forever now, isn't he? Unless he swallows his pride over the weekend.

Just a tip for anyone thinking of moving over, the first five posts are automatically held for moderation, so it's worth moving over and posting a little bit in advance of a busy race - otherwise your comments will be buried by the time they're released. I presume it might cause issues for PTP if the mods are especially tardy (and with dozens of other shifting right now I suspect they are).
Different vibe to here, but I suspect that's partly as I only go on this subforum and don't see the... weirder parts.

I'm not sure it's purely numerical, as I have far more than 5 posts but I'm still being held in moderation. Or maybe they just hate me.
