Bike Radar forum refugees

[raleighnut]

I forget the name of the forum that replaced the C+ forum where most of us were resident. We didn't like it anyway and ended up here.

Ah that was it C+, quite a lot left here after the epic flounce of he who shall not be named and I miss a few of them but knew some were still about

Hi everybody. This new look might take a bit of getting used to…

I forget the name of the forum that replaced the C+ forum where most of us were resident. We didn't like it anyway and ended up here.

Before C+ became BikeRadar, a particular group had already decamped elsewhere due to the heavy-handed moderation that emerged on C+. I think many of these originated from a very long-dead forum called Freewheeling, and the uk.rec.cycling newsgroup before that (newsgroups had been crippled by spammers and trolls by the early 2000s, hence forums appeared). They are now mostly on YACF, after a year or two on its predecessor that we don't talk about (worried monkey gif goes here).

Soon we'll have AI orchestras and BT will be unemployed.

For all we know, that is Brian, an elaborate AI art project created by students at a Devon school.

Is Frank Wilson popping along?

God I hope so! Morning all.

That's right. I was struggling to remember his name.

Yep or there is a 'Private Message' PM function called Conversations (little envelope next to your username in the 'header')

Thanks. We had PM's over in BR but an alert was easy peasy just add @ before a username.

@ Works, it is built into the software here.

Yep same here, it'll come up blue once you post it if the 'tag' is successful, @ then no gap to username

BTT is fully employed posting on cycling fora.
Not sure he really knows one end of his trumpet from the other! 🎺
