I think it's far from dying.
I logged in for a few minutes before work this afternoon for a nosey, left, then logged in after work and there were replies in around 10 threads I'd posted in and 29 threads with new posts.
This is pretty typical on a daily basis.

The MCN forum has gone.

BCF is going to be the last forum standing.


The 'wanking song game' thread on VD managed a whopping 12 posts...

You mean there are real threads on visordown rather than just spam ones? Shocked

Yeah, it took me a minute to wonder why you'd sent me to some kind of pidgeon Inglish middle eastern site. I thought for a moment that you'd done a number on them! Laughing

I had to go four pages in before I found that thread. Looks like they opted for dying without the pre-mortem thread.

I used to be on 125ccsportssbikes.com but that forum is pretty dead.

Ste, you never said what you tweeted to William Shatner

No time for that now, he's too busy bugging Elon.

@elonmusk The 2020 Tesla Roadster the quickest car in the world. Elon is there anything you are not a genius at?

@Suzuki_motoclub Why are riders the only vehicle without rain wipers?

@elonmusk 1.9 seconds 0 - 60 mph https://www.tesla.com/en_GB/roadster Any plans for a motorcycle we could use a tester for Rainpal?



The best part is when nobody ever replies to him. Laughing

Maybe you should tell Elon about the adams frequent trips to Thailand, then Elon might reply to him

Question: Did Bodyform Rage Flounce the forum but then climb into your bcf account?

You are not gaining much favour at present. Your karma chart looks like s4it. (Even from a distance.) Shocked

A slight 'change of tack' is still an option that is open to you Sir?

Thankfully, there's a whole new "Why Create Rainpal?" page on the website which includes info on how it will be "free in the long term from yearly savings".

He's no longer in the highest category of connections of 1000+ on LinkedIn. Laughing

At least he's given us a new video to watch and pretend Rainpal is real.

If anything - it's got louder and more annoying 🤣🤣

No that's HIM giving it out to others. Yet claiming to be a victim.

With 20+ enemies he has if we wanted to Karma rape him then he would be in the black within a day.

But we're not children unlike him, where he unenemies gives you a negative then reblocks you.

Ive been visiting this palce on and off ever since ste told everyone to sell everything and invest in bitcoin (2010 ish?).

Didn't, but hey ho.

I lurk more than post. Part of the reason I kept coming back was because the huge range of characters and random interesting threads (mostly not about bikes). Part of that was getting posters like krad and whatever the guys name was who could underwater weld to 4 thou, and bodyguard etc.

As much as those posters piss people off at times keeping the mix is important to stop the place becoming an echo chamber.

Its pretty self moderating as well and allows space for people to be a twat... Unusual for fora.

I wouldnt want to crash a bike in a strange country whilst riding like a nob with any other group of misfits.

OMG, that kicked off when I was a newbie. The 8' geyser of shit in a fish finger factory is quite possibly still the funniest thing I've ever read online.

I think it is in decline, in a decaying orbit. But it probably won't be terminal yet.

A bulletin board I used to run, that I didn't found, that started in 2001 went offline today Crying or Very sad in it's heyday, we sold advertising on it, that not only paid the bills, it paid for beer and pizzas at member get togethers. been in decline for years, just a few of the old regulars chatting

I'm alive, the face book thing has detracted from people posting, for example Smiler went on a nice little bike ride, posted it up on FB but not here. The people who woold have replied on here did so on FB, me included.

It doesn't mean that the forum is dead, just that things are more spread around.

Ste I take it that link has been removed.
I should have checked earlier, but unfortunately like millions of other bikers i died over the weekend due to not being adequately protected in the rain.
(Then came back as a hologram)

Bit curious how people can say that posts by somebody or this some thread or other annoys them. Just don’t read them, block the user, either or?
