Is this forum going downhill, due to numpty newbies?

not that i give a fuck about this sort of OG holier than-than-thou dickswinging,

...erm... yeaaah.

It may take me weeks to get the image of Father Ted using his dick as a censer out of my brain.

Hey come on Catfood. A new poster has pointed to an irony that exists in an old lags thread. A cyclist using the expression "going downhill" pejoratively has, you must accept, a certain irony to it. We should applaud and welcome new posters who are able to see the amusing side of things. At least he is not posting about riding his fixie or trying to sell stuff sight unseen.

Well, if your're going to be reasonable, how are we going to conduct any kind of dialogue?

I've just seen that you are a Swiss Entrepreneur. That is why you understand irony

Did you go to Eton?

It's been a while.

seems to be a lot of people posting in current project lately just to say things like "Great Build!!!!"

Think it all depends on attitude.

When I first joined, I never UTFS, and seemed to get on people's nerves a bit by asking silly questions.

Now I've been on a few rides & to some beers, I've realised its more than a website and/or "Ask Tester", but a group of great people with loads of collective knowledge + good laugh too.

I think a newbie could be converted to a useful and welcomed member by heading to beers or going on a ride or two.

Would you like change?

Beers are for cunts.

Even more secret that that. its an invite only, unsearchable group.

The newbie would probably have lots of questions about the conversion which could be simply answered if only he used the search engine.

The freemasonary of Facebook fixed riding. Right trouser leg rolled up rather than left one.
