We’re spam-bots around in the mid-2000s? 🫣

Just over a year before my new profile as it stands now

So where does the overlord of pansies find a place with minimal moderation (no tjooning Steve Hofmeyer if you wouldn't say it to his face) for good scraps now? Send us a link or just mansplain it like in the good old days.

 

 

Trust me this place is better.

 

 

Love this - great response!

20 years and most probably (IMHO) one of the biggest changes took place +/- 4 years ago.

A lot of good members moved on to other media mainly due to the chopping of NCR threads, I wonder where these folk are now and how the alternate worked out?

For example the discord app @Frosty

I’m wondering how “busy” that now locked and faded into history Donald Drumpf thread would be now what with all of Trumps latest shenanigans….

Joh ole Patch and River general would be frothing at the mouth, me thinks.

Ha ha, they say the most unkind thing you can do to a man, is not to show him a picture of what he looked like years ago, but to play back the words he said then! Everyone expects you to look older, but at the same time expect your words to still be right and relevant!

Methinks, it will be true for all of us.

Blokman from day one. April 2011. I got into an argument here and there that I regret . But mostly it was a smooth ride. 

I got plenty good advice but sometimes gave some to people who knew more than I did. "Song of the day" was a nice thread with Dangle aka The Sherrif and Stretch digging up some gems.

Funniest thread was "How to remove skidmarks from your shammy." Started by Janneman. 

Hubbers that I miss for various reasons : Kranswurm, Grumpy Old Guy,  Spokey , Flymango , Johann Bormann, Cape Town 'Armpies' Mayhem. And of course Tumbleweed. 

Edit. Remembered another hubber, V 12 Man. A surgeon if I remember correctly. He had very good advice on injuries and nutrition. And he was a coffee expert.

Whew, 20 years for me this coming December - how time has f-l-o-w-n!

Been a great source of info, met some friends, done some learning, sold an item of 3, bought an item or 103 (!), and 'lost' many happy hours just scrolling through the Forum!

Well done, Bike Hub!
