We can look at a long service award in future editions. We're talking Hub account age and not actual age, right? 😉

But for 2021 you're the 3rd most prolific poster*

Top 10 Most Replied-to Topics

  1. Petition: Bring Back the Classifieds Comments - 4,991 comments

Talking about "Bring Back the.... "

I wish Admin would bring back allow or create some form of thread where we can discuss any non cycling related topics

For example, CV19, Politics etc.... 

Bikehub IMHO is poorer for the lack of diversity. As a long time hubber since 2005 and an expat who will never use the classifieds, this was the primary reason i did not renew my bikehub plus membership.

 

Jaaa i know, poeping against thunder

If the seller doesn't want to put a phone number/email or other contact form then how will comments make a difference? they're probably not even logging back in at all.

 

 

very possible, all I know after I took a break from the hub, I battled navigating through the new hub, I`m old and learn slow, I came back primarily for the classifieds (have the bank damage to show it) I raised the point before call me old school but when I see SOLD by,,, old school(me) thinks its sold (not for sale) as said before i missed 2 bikes as a result of MY ERROR

as I said the "new" hub took me some getting used to especially the PM side of things,, 

my simpleton thinking is every time he looks AT HIS AD  he sees the comments,,, anyway dead horse,, ill stay in my lane

i think i have cheated your system by changing my name a few times over the year! rider #35 and "my stuff" was me too

I merged some of the names of the people I know of, eg. Myles had three different names over time.

Updated, and swapped around, so the legend matches the colours on the graph (from left to right).

We're conscious that a number of factors will skew that top line listings value of R 723 million. As you mention, some ads combine items and use a placeholder price (e.g. R123) which under reports value, while other users repeat ads which over reports. Strictly speaking neither is a behaviour we allow or encourage but both would have a relatively small impact on this number.

Actual sales enabled by Bike Hub is the more meaningful figure and the user-reported figure for 2021 was R246 million. While significant, we know this is well under the actual figure since 60% of ads posted are either deleted (instead of marked sold) or left to expire without feedback on sold status. 

@Matt why not then only have an option of expired and sold.

Is delete add a requirement? 

I'm at blame,  once sold I always delete 🤦🏽

km/ year vs posts, now that will be fun to see

 

Rouxtjie (spelling) type scenario  X amount of km/year  vs being taken seriously 🤪

Hard one .... on average I had 900km per month only commuting, when working in town before Covid ... now I am too embarrassed to even thing about what mileage I am doing.
