I'm intrigued about the 4.3% figure. The snazzy new func' gives us the tools to find out.
Please like whichever of the next three posts describes your view of STW the best:

Oh, and if you could poss8bly hold off interrupting for 30s that would be appreciated 🙂

The forum is the most important part of STW for me.

The articles, printed in the magazine or on the website, are the most important part of STW for me.

The articles and forum are equally important to me.

Sorry to interrupt.

Unbalanced poll? Those who just read the articles won't see the poll?

**** me that was painful. Just posting 4 times was sooooo difficult. I got three 502 Bad Gateways, 2 " Slow down, you move too fast" and 3 " just hung for bloody hours"

Anyway, thanks for your forbearance.

Tell us.

Good point, perhaps we can put a reply slip in next month's mag 😉

Or Mark can put a link to the forum post from the articles front-page 🤣😅😂

Voted.

Used to be magazine, then (bike) forum.

But I think that harks from the days when upgrading parts was easy/fun and there was no apps to guide you around. These days, time short, I’m happier buying a bike and never changing a part or replacing like for like. there’s so many industry standards that I just can’t be arsed learning new things.

Now, it’s mainly (chat) forum…occasionally online articles…and they’re mostly Sanny’s content.

And those who are only interested in the forum can't vote

The Forum is a regular staple

The magazine is an occasional treat

Not voting, too dumb a poll.

Like canvasing at 11pm in a 24hr Tescos (what happened to them?) about people’s favourite supermarkets and if they ever shop late into the evening.

Also, only going to get members opinions. So to add to the analogy, only club card members are being asked if they like loyalty points.

Missing (at least) two options IMO:

* I like both content and forum, but I like the forum more

* I like both content and forum, but I like the content more

Nice idea to run a poll via the Likes feature though 👍

Surely 96% of forum users can’t express a useful opinion on this?

I voted forum only, but an option for 'forum with a bit of front page articles' would be my preference.

The best part of STW is the community and how its organically grown over the years, the magazine is a big part of how this forum runs and has developed.

And as Mark has said in the past, 90% of people probably won't interact with it anyway. But sadly it's still probably more representative than the average(*) stat presented in the media or especially advertising.

(* - SWIDT?)

I agree that the poll is hideously biased ( embarrassingly enough only when y'all pointed out the flaws ☺️)

My hope is that Mark will actually tell us where the 4% figure actually came from so it can be peer reviewed.

Or, even betterer, he'll hopefully do a poll of his own, properly.

Then there'll be some data. My concern is that the 4% figure is no more accurate than the 88% figure on this poll.
