where will you go for NCR discussions now?

[WrightJnr]

I would be very interested to see old vs. new active members per week/day/hour and post related activity. 
 

I’m really trying to adapt and justify to myself why I should use Tapatalk for 6 forums and my web browser for 1. I’m finding myself here less and less, convinced I’m seeing posts from less people. 
 

Once the habit is gone, people move on.

Dear @Matt and @Nick

 

As a compromise on the NCR thread shedding, I would like to request and suggest that you bring back just the coronavirus thread. It was a place where we could connect with one another in deeply troubled times, and share experiences and  knowledge of the pandemic. As such, It was also a source of great comfort, and it served the community well, at a time where we and our families are under existential threat. 
 

 People like @River Rat and @DJR (to name but 2) shared expert and invaluable knowledge. Yes, there was a bit of bitchery too, but nothing too serious. 

please would you consider reinstating the thread. ????

Thank you for receiving and reading this in the good spirit in which it is posted. 

all those who agree, please would you hit the like button.

 

Edit: i should also mention @Dale , who generously gave of his professional skills and compassion to give us hope, strength and comfort. 

The message is CLEAR - time to move on ....

 

Log in here when you want to read cycling ONLY .....

 

For a "community" feel .... take your clicks elsewhere ....

 

 

I certainly am ready to rather log into a "community forum".  If such exist for cyclists in SA, PLEASE post links.

I have to agree. But it feels like a one sided divorce. 
I was leading a happy life with Mrs. Bikehub, we laughed, we cried, we sang, and then one day, she got out of bed and decided things were just “not working out”, it’s “not you it’s me” and promptly changed the front door keys. Now I’m sitting at the bar, twisting my wedding ring on my finger after a few tinder nights and wondering to myself, am I cheating on her or is this love affair really over?

Not sure if I should laugh or cry with you ..... ????

 

Think she got a new sugar daddy .... ????

Sad to some degree.

Bikehub was my main entry point to stuff that I was interested in. Now I need to find my Current Affairs and other off-topic discussions in a different forum, so I tend to be here less often. 

Obviously the TDF will keep us entertained for the next three weeks, but will be interesting to see the vibe here once that has run its course.

Anyone have experience with in the bunch?

I'm no authority on 'community' forums but BH has been through some 'upheavals' of different kinds over many years and always survived ... I'm pretty sure for those that are here primarily for the cycling content it will continue to be their go to place. Speaking for myself it will still be anyway. 

To paraphrase Mr. Twain 'reports of BH's death have been greatly exaggerated'

I foresee a big drop off in community interaction once the TdF is over!

Honest comment..... What about setting up a private discord group (with invitation). Its probably the best to accommodate topics and sub topics. Would involve having to download the app and register as a user... But at least we could discuss things freely

That is actually a very good suggestion to be honest.

I am sad to say but I feel like I wasted money on BikeHub Plus. (especially with Tapatalk not working)

after 4x4 forum was suggested I spent a few days reading the topics and the interaction.. A LOT MORE COVID info on there with good interactions (for the most part)..

 

RR and Vetplant are there, (that I recognised from this here hub.. ) there is actually a lot of topics discussed and seems like there is a community feel to it.. with just a lot more cousins at the party.
