What is my XYZ worth? How much is THIS worth? Value my...

You can either laugh at it, or tell me what mistake I made.

"it's built in...." should be "its built in...."

it's always means "it is"

It's is a shortened form of it is, the apostrophe acting as a headstone for the lost I. Its would be used here in the possessive form, and not as in 'it is'.

Though tbh I'm not sure why I ever started this one considering many of my posts are borderline illiterate. I'll just go back to the lake and throw my stones there, it's safer than throwing them in glasshouses.

:)

Fuck my shoes, Ed's on crack!

Quality...

Hey nowherefast, whats the go here?

Cheer, need to rid the habit of using certain grammar.

Thread: Popcorn

    Yeah  but nowhere fast isn't a saint either, the cheeky cock is selling a  stem I gave him for free as a "help out" pinkbike is welcome to both of  them grrr! http://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/749760/

Saves clicking on Balki's link. Shortcuts ftw.

Ok, sorry for posting in the wrong section, i needed help, so i went to the help section, easy mistake, was never a wind up...

i think i will give up, i completely suck at anything to do with being social and im oviusly not wanted here, im never going to fit in

bye(i hope)

Right

I've no idea why I'm throwing my hat into the ring, but this thread hooked me popcorn style right from the off so...

NWF I too am new to this forum and I suppose it's fair to say that it can be a bit intimidating. The truth is that it's the general level of knowledge that the forum regulars have and their dedication to maintaining a forum which is serious and worthwhile - which makes you want to visit. (It's not a government run, publicly funded forum which owes you anything at all by the way). I imagine you and your questions, if genuine, would be welcomed but it takes some input from yourself...

Assuming you're not trolling (just on here to be a pain in the arse) here's how I imagine we newbies can get more out of being members here:

If you're selling anything here, it's not your message board to do whatever you like. You're sticking notices on someone else's carefully organised space. They don't like you to be anything other than generous with all the information required to sell a bike / parts.

Use solid descriptions of what you have and what you'd like to do with it.

Use clear reasonably sized photos.

Place the ad in the Classifieds section and nowhere else.

If it's advice you're after, then be very clear about this also. Place it in the appropriate part of the forum. DON"T be tempted to put a little hint at wanting PMs for a potential sale in there. This is called 'fishing' which means that you're making a sly attempt at a sale without bothering to go through the appropriate channels (a bit like sidling up to people in the pub and asking them if they're in the market for a dodgy tv).

If people patiently tell you how to improve the quality of your post don't throw your toys out! It just makes the piss takers more excitable.

I've only been on here for about 50+ posts and I've managed to suss that much out. Do yourself a favour and have a bit of a think before starting a thread. Spend more time reading the forum than writing on it and you'll find 90% of what you need is already here. Here's an example - a thread started in Classifieds by someone called Elaine selling what sounds like your model of bike. She wants about 270 quid for it which must help you to answer your question without going through all this hassle? It's a good example of a well written sale ad too! http://www.lfgss.com/thread55954.html . I found it by typing Fuji into the search window at the top of the page.

Oh and if you do flog something on here, pop a few bob in the direction of the forum organisers so that they can continue to run what is a massive site for the benefit of the likes of you and I !

Well said.

Wrongcog you have rep.

I'm new remember! I'm not even sure what having rep means but it sounds good anyway.

Am sure you'll figure it out.

click on user cp then it's there. it's just a way of people telling you in private that they approve (people rarely send negative rep). it used to be public but then people had really fucking retarded hissy fits.

Ah. It's quite nice on here isn't it? I don't know what the OP is complaining about!

Wrongcog, you're a shining example of a new members gradually getting introduced to the forum, excellent post.

Ta Ed'. Still know next to nothing about bikes though. I'm trying to learn a new thing every day if you see what I mean. Today I discovered that Pista is Italian for track. And I also learned that a slushy bum crack is as unpleasant as it sounds!

Have you check Sheldon Brown? he's a good place to start.

and Pistanator is Italian for bellend

^^ Got him bookmarked Ed. He might be the 3rd thing I learned, just after how unfit I was and what lactic acid is...

Major thread derail going on here. It was all plonker-bashing, unfriendly forum popcorn, and now it's gone pure bromance.

Wrongcog, rep, excellent 53rd post etc.

But;

the likes of you and I !

Isn't it "you and me", in this instance?

We'll have to wait for the grammar Nazis to get back from the pub. ;-)

Ha! And we're back in the room!

Besides Nowhere Fast might be back soon, so all is not lost.

I don't feel welcome here :'(
