That's because you learned your lesson the hard way.

this has become an old member flamings thread. ROFL!

bill, no more typing, you should be resting that shoulder for sun!

hehe

Next you'll be telling me I can't wank either.

I would not say you can't wank, but you're crap at it.

Biggest waste of £3.50 of my life.

what about a cull of members that have joined but not posted in the last 6 months?

I agree we've all been guilty of disemboweling a first poster, usually we regret it afterwards, but that doesn't mean we should stop new members joining - or posting obvious questions. As far as I'm concerned, they should lurk for a while to learn the ettiquette. Any first poster gets one patient response to a question that has been answered already and they could have searched for. Then they get a direct response: "use the search". After that it's open season.

Before I went fixed, I asked a lot of stupid questions on the C+ forum, I got some good recommendations, but I narrowed down my choice of bikes before I asked the questions. Then I got fed up with reading some brain numbing arguments about RLJ and helmet use and left.

I had no idea this forum existed and as soon as I started searching the net for more specialist items, hubs, rims, nitto etc etc, a lot of the hits on google came up as lfgss.

Took me a while to understand the vibe of the forum, but its pretty damn cool as people actually get out and ride and talk shit/bikes over beers, which is quite unique.

well, that's what caused it in the first place.

lol!

he charged me a fiver....

bill give a guy a hand wont you?

.....My god shin are you running out of material?

fixed.

You bunch of whiny slags. Fuck off the lot of yaz!
Murtle, when did you turn all gayer? Want a tissue for all your tears? :P

Flame on!

We must kill them. We must incinerate them. Pig after pig. Cow after cow. Village after village. Army after army.





We are not that bad really.

He's known as $5 Bill on the international courier circuit for that very reason.

Where else does Shin live, if not on here?

If this new initiative takes care of lazy newcomers, then what do we go about about restoring the reputation of this forum? I see other forums referring to posts on here for information and news all the time - there is a lot of knowledge and info here.

Having a laugh is essential, but if the laugh goes on till its just mickeytaking following pisstaking, Lfgss will eventually be seen as a place mainly for a laugh.

I would like to see this forum being a place for a giggle, but also for some really considerable depth. Am I offbase with that?

no GA2G, that's the way it has always been and should stay.

Meh.

Murtle = rep whorenger.

Negged.

hah! repped.

Well - i can honestly say that this forum is freakin' inspiring. Yes, i had a flaming on my first post, and every post thereafter (Ha, ha), but everyone's opinions are what we are about right?

I've been on a fixed for a few months now in the midlands, and i can associate with NO-ONE locally, and have learnt jack-shit about this passion of ours, but christ - over the past few days of being involved with this forum, i've learnt heaps, and gained loads. Oh, and i know where the "search" button is now....
Thanks for being you - newbies that are keen will fight through he insults.
(Sheeeeeeite - i need a hug)

^ Cunt

Y'know, just for the sake of consistency.

i thought he was known as bill poster, for the sheer amount of 'paste' he can soak up.

Shin runs the dayshift but have you ever been on in the evenings when Pajamas hasn't?

I've slept through the whole of this thread but have two things to say:
1: flaming is good, so many people were flamed and stayed on, Fiddy for one (check the N2R thread)
2: search function is an obvious one and if you don't use it you are a fool - no excuses

actually, one in the same person you see... hes my cleverererer side... Im like the hulk and he's Dr banner

I'm with Murtle.

So, i also think the time has come to put up some guidelines, FAQ or whatever for new members.
i just cannot stand any more people flaming new guys for trying to flog a bike.

haha repped :)

I can't stand people sticking it to people who are flaming people who come on here selling bikes.

FAQ 1: Wanna buy my bike
A: Fuck off

Actually, I don't mind non-commercial sellers. I could grab a bargain man!

As long as it doesn't end up being as pompous as the FAQ for Another Cycling Forum.

Look !

That insects are arranging themselves into patterns !
