Come to think of it, that may well be exactly how I discovered CC.
How well known is cyclechat outside of the cyclechat community?

IM not looking for an argument, im genuinely curious as to what way cyclechat made life uncomfortable for some members

Ah didn't know there were so many - last one maybe a bit better.
Thanks for the useful info - clearly cyclechat's continued health is down to your Monday to Friday rolling billboard.
all the best
Continuing OT, I cannot disagree more. If this place was being run as a business then Sean is a terrible business man. To me CC is like cycling itself, a mixture of many people from all walks of life who just happen to cycle. Yes some of the threads annoy the hell out of me with the aggression and 'playing the (wo)man not the ball mentality', but with such a broad spectrum of tastes it is highly likely that people will disagree. If this place was run as a business the forum would be incredibly bland with stacks of advertising and fake reviews.

Talking of whom, he was one of the characters who made me want to join CC in the first place. I miss his contributions, along with a few others who have left.

When I looked up Cyclechat when on holiday in France, the first result that came up was a site concerning menstrual cycles in cats!
It was a Benevolent Dictator thing and he was a CTC member (and councillor). The rides were initially mentioned on a long lost forum called acf which is how I first found out about them. When that disintegrated many people went to yacf, many came here. The BD came here. Hence here being the forum home of FNRttC.

I only found Cyclechat by accident. 
And generally speaking the YACFers aimed to respect the thinking that the planning and information about the FNRttC should be kept and curated in one place to avoid confusion, apart from anything else, so whilst we've alway had some chatter about the rides over there there would pretty much always have been someone piping up to say 'and the definitive source for information is over that way ------> with a link to here and the blog*. That's how I wandered in here, following the tail lights of the Fridays up the road...
*and the subsequent regular (if occasional) 'what is this mudguard/cake/etc tyranny how dare they infringe my human rights thusly' n00b comments from people who went and read that and came back to whinge would generally be fairly firmly squished.

My online presence here feels more chilled, and I've made some great friends. Hell, Dave R has even started to stalk me cos I'm so nice!

That's a great line for the 'Autocorrect gone mad' thread right there. What did @Drago really intend to say?

^^^ See, I can dig that. A perfectly reasonable, well explained intervention by a Mod, an example of how it should be done (and no, I'm not arriss licking, but Pat seems to understand that if you treat people like children they'll behave like children, and has broken the cycle.)

I know a forum where you might be able to ask about fixing that, and chatting about related topics...….

I think that’s how I got here, via FNRttC. And the rumour I heard was that there was a touch of disapproval from some about the way that YACF was born. And that’s why CC became the go to site for FNRttC stuff. I joined acf in the middle of smileygate and hadn’t a clue what was going on. Anyway, it all seems so far away and long ago now.
