PygaSchmyga Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 Potty mouth full-suss chop.I will refrain from making further comments, as will I not be paying for any BH subscriptionsbig up for that
Craai Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 Do I retain my warning point We need a monthly “mulligan” for warnings; every now and then a cube shaped cardboard container comes along and needs to be told that he is indeed a cube shaped cardboard container. If you do get a warning point for instances like this, you can eliminate it by pressing the mulligan button. Vetplant, Bloukrans, BigDL and 1 other 4

Rocket-Boy Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 I'm a bit better after a beer.I've never advertised anything for sale here.Thing is, it seems like a telegraphed move here by Matt.My guess is that within a year this entire site will be a paid for serviceNaa that would never work. If that happened a new forum would take over and the numbers would dwindle into obscurity on this side. I dont really see any doom and gloom in this, I think its a good idea personally.Heck I havent been on my bike in more than a year, I even started a thread about it a while back.The reason Im on here multiple times a day is because of the community, I have made friends and this place feels like a good comfortable environment.

CAAD4 Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 hahahaha 'Full-suss chop'!! Your name calling skillz are top drawer! KingCrispy, I'm sure you're a nice guy when you're sleeping. I seem to recall you were one of the original 'buyers and re-sellers' on here. (I could be incorrect but I recall items being turned over under your avatar in the past). You have used the site to trade etc with some degree of success and dabbled in the comments albeit somewhat abruptly. Instead of being derogatory and openly taking a 'tone', why not just say 'Thanks guys, good luck with the new ventures. I will continue to use the site as a regular free user'.... I dunno, it's just a friendly suggestion. Unless you've been getting too much product from Shan Wilson. Then the roid rage probably has you at seeing red disposition and there's no helping that...Hahaha that's twice he's re appeared here today. Hard, angry chap with a short fuse. Jewbacca 1
arendoog Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 speaking of the porn , after the shutdown of our favourite thread I started following a few of the pros on insta, one of them being miss Batty. Now she is not normally my type looks wise, but the other day she post an image of herself standing over a bike in high heels and a black dress. That appealed to my senses.I agree ! Lots of sporty people trying to hit golf balls,fishing,cycle etc .Some of them desperately need help ,but i am so far away

Vetplant Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Feature request for "Plus" users... When I block someone in the forums, their posts should also be blocked when said poster is quoted by others, otherwise it just negates the whole post blocking theme. The Ouzo, Gen and fanievb 3
TNT1 Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Feature request for "Plus" users... When I block someone in the forums, their posts should also be blocked when said poster is quoted by others, otherwise it just negates the whole post blocking theme.That shouldn't just be a paid feature, it's a standard forum feature on most forums. nathrix and MORNE 2
Stretch Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Feature request for "Plus" users... When I block someone in the forums, their posts should also be blocked when said poster is quoted by others, otherwise it just negates the whole post blocking theme.Very difficult to follow a flow of a website if replies are blocked too. I find the hiding of those users I've blocked suitable BigDL and Vetplant 2

Dicky DQ Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Bike Hub Plus is only available for private users, not Dealers. The Classifieds benefits will be more appealing to the regular traders, but are not intended for dealers. In future we may look at separate subscription offerings which cater to dealers, but the focus here is on our users. The primary benefit for you, or any forum focussed user, is the ad-free experience. There are two levels to this... By default Plus members will not see any 3rd party advertising which does make up a significant portion of the ads you'll see on Bike Hub, but we have less control over these and they can very often be pretty spammy if we're honest. You'd still see banner ads from our direct clients, i.e. ads for companies we have a direct relationship with, typically for the local bike industry often promoting new products or not-to-be-missed sale. Less relevant to an expat, but these would be relevant and we hope useful to SA based users. All plus users do have the option within their profile to turn off all advertising which would be 100% banner ad free. Sorry but I may be missing something. Help a dommetjie out. Why must a pay?I do not have an issue with Ads.I am happy to pay a % of sale price to advertise an item for sale.I will not pay a subscription to a forum and/or a sales platform.I understand ad spend is going to drop over the near to medium term. But rather get the advertisers to pay a % of sales revenue. This way you get to see how effective your sales platform is. My 2c's. It just does not make sense to me as a forum user.

You don't have to pay. If you want discounted boost options for your sale items, or one of the features that the normal platform doesn't have, then pay. Otherwise, keep your adverts and let the people who want to enjoy those extra "plus" benefits do so. EDIT: Reading this afterwards, it sounds as if there's a harsh tone in there. That was definitely not my intention, TDFN. Edited June 4, 2020 by Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Dicky DQ 1
