You're already out :)

Oops, l forgot my manners. Cheers!

Most efficient solution I've seen so far to combat spam. Great.

Brilliant first post. Start sycophantic; stay sycophantic ;o)

Sage advice. ;)

Is it possible to be sycophantic towards oneself?

It's an odd concept, but a really good one. Well done. I like my style.

help. I know Im not new but a couple things I cant work out.

1) how is it I seem to get " automatically" subscribed to threads? Ive never manually subscribed to any thread but seem to have a huge list of subscribed threads- some of which I would NEVER subscribe to.

2) at the bottom of where my subscribed threads are, there is a list of people who have left me a comment with +1...is this something to do with rep? where is the option to leave this for people?

thanks

You have got automatically subscribed to every thread you've posted in. You can change this under 'Default Thread Subscription Mode' in 'Settings and Options' in User CP.

2) at the bottom of where my subscribed threads are, there is a list of people who have left me a comment with +1...is this something to do with rep? where is the option to leave this for people?

It's the remnant of the old rep function. You now access it by clicking on 'comment' near the bottom left of each post.

the +i think is below the avatar; what used to be known as rep but is now comment. click on a it if you want to comment on someone's post.
don't understand the subscribed threads thing; is it just any thread you have ever looked at?

bloody hell Oliver is quick; but my comment description was more accurate :)

:)

thanks guys

What the?

Thanks to the guys at Melboune Mayhem yesterday had a great afternoon

For Greasy:

anybody interesting in buying a fully set up fixed-wheel? Soma-Rush, 51 cm frame.

This'll probably be more promising when I get out of the nursery.

Your user name ain't wrong, is it?

i'll just keep tossing them up there...

Since I've been away it seems like lots of new members have been introducing themselves. If your new to the forum and haven't been out on a ride, played polo, or enjoyed trying to do tricks at TrixieDix, you are cordially invited to the New Members Compass Rides. Details are below.
Look forward to seeing all you new joiners out and about...

Things we do well on this forum, organise and go on a regular basis to Drinks, wherever they may be, and Ride.
So in the spirit of these two elements, comes the all new,
New Members Compass Beer Rides.

It has been noted that meeting up with a big group of forumengers that you don't know in a pub can be slightly intimidating. So to make it less so, this idea has been put forward to combine drinks and rides.

Think of it as a Forum Fresher's week, without the hazing, so that the previous months new members get a chance to meet up with, and ride with fellow forumengers. Talk bikes, find out where drinks are, and get a good ride in at the same time
You can come out to the beers closest to you, or trek out to a beers on the otherside of town, safe in the knowledge that you'll be with people who a) know where they are going, and that b) someone will be heading back in your general direction so you can ride home in the company of another forumenger.

So For One Week, every couple of months, there will be rides from Trafalgar Sq, to the Beers,

**Monday - Souths @ The Coach and Horses
Tuesday - Norths @ The Flask or
Tuesday - South Easts @ The Kings Arms or
Tuesday - Trixie Dix @ **White's Row Car Park Roof. White's Row, Off Commercial Street
** Wednesday - Easts @ The Royal Inn on the Park
Thursday - Wests @ The Crabtree or The Ship (season dependent)
Sunday - Polo @ Downham Rd Polo Courts.**

A couple of regulars from each beers will be at Trafalgar Sq from approx 6.30 for a prompt 7pm departure, (1pm for a 1.30pm departure on Sunday) And will take any new member who so wishes for a ride which will arrive at beers/polo.

The Next Compass Beer Rides will be
May 11-17** 2009**.

This is my 6th post. It's an apology.
I should have read this thread first before thinking of posting rubbish in the welcome thread to get to 5 posts. ( note that I have been thinking about that, but didn't do it :) )

It's a good policy - shame on me

Appology accepted, now go forth and enjoy.

PS. Balki is in the biscuit thread, he loves noobies.

Sorts the wheat from the chaff!

Good solution to keeping it real.
