...and its comments like these and the way that certain members go on about enforcing this ridiculous rule, that make it feel precisely not like a community.
Avid cyclists are a community, whether they frequent this forum or another. If you are trying to sell something, then it is in your (and all other cyclists) best interest to try and reach as many people that might be interested in your goods as possible, and that may involve talking to people who frequent different fora.
I use several forums and LFGSS is by far my least favourite, primarily due to the substantial amount of users I have come across, that seem to have a 'holier than thou' attitude. Not everyone, but certainly way more than any other forum I use.
The only reason I use this forum, is that there seems to be a diverse range of awesome stuff available for sale quite frequently, which I like a lot.
I do not feel welcome here; I don't want to share content with anyone and it is the last place I would turn to for advice.
I don't mean to offend anyone, that is not my aim, as I have dealt with a few great people, but my point is this is the least social 'community' I am part of.
