Cycling Group Without Cycling

I wonder why the group seems to be drifting completely away from bicycling
and ending up just a stupid discussion group?

Stupid?! Your stoopid!

Because it's February, the winter olympics are on, and talking about
bicycle racing 24/7/365 is the sign of dementia, not fan-dom.

Once the drug busts start piling up in the spring, conversation will turn
back to cycling.

And we wonder why you never figure out that you don't belong here.

I suppose that was the final "hint".

Tom, if you did some serious testing and checking the stats of some of these
other forums which have been around for a very long time now, you would find
they have come a very long ways since they started. Probably no forum has
grown so fast as the CN forum, but Road Bike Review forum is pretty decent.
The Bike Radar forum isn't too bad but doesn't seem to have grown as well as
the new CN forum. Also Cyclingforums.com and Bikeforums.net are pretty good.
In fact any of these forums you will find any subject you want in many
categories, and a whole host of visitors willing to discuss anything you
post in a civil manner. You posts are quite typical of what they post and
you would find a big crowd giving good replies. There is a huge bike culture
out there and a lot of these guys are really well informed. RBR is
incredibly thin now, and I don't know where most of old crew went, facebook
or forums, but you should at least try some of those forums before you
disregard the idea and remained devoted to rbr. Fine, you have been here 20+
years, but if you can't engage the reasonable discussions you seek, why
stay? Try the others, and you can always frequent rbr much less frequently.
Why not give them a try, can't hurt! The CN forum has a very nice following,
and looks to be the best overall. The numbers indicate it has become very
robust in spite of all the problems with the new site. Actually the problems
with CN might of worked to their advantage since so many thousands of people
flocked there to complain. However, many have said the best thing about CN
is their forum.

Yeah. Which ones among those have banned Susan Walker for saying one of
the moderator was fat?
