[Closed] Posters on here you miss

I'm still waiting for Cougar to tell us precisely what TSY did to get a ban.

I do remember I had an exchange with him at one point about something and the way he made his points left me wanting to find out where he lived and then crap through his letter box.

I've heard that TJ continues to read the forum and may occasionally supply certain users with his opinions and/or evidence to back up their arguments.

Last I heard GW was on a self imposed Internet ban, presumably being as awesome as he was at it was taking up too much of his time.

My nostalgia for the forum of years past isn't really about specific posters, but more about a time when I spent more time on here and felt more part of its community. There's a bunch of people I used to ride with who I don't see much in real life anymore, nor on here. Coogan (formerly Vosh) is still about and so is epicsteve but I haven't actually seen them for years and others like dgoab, winstonsmith and a bunch of the Sterling riders are even more dim memories really. Epic trolling or argument threads aren't part of my forum memories, as much as the friendly chat threads that sprung up before and after rides and meet-ups.

Was he ripping on your detective skills?

Coogan (formerly Vosh) is still about

He's not the same man, though. He's ridden a bicycle competitively for crying out loud...

I don't think I can do that really, you'll have to take my word for it. If anyone knows him IRL to tell him he can come back if he wants, then you can ask him yourself.

Cressers.

He'd have had a field day over the last couple of weeks.

Unfortunately, still around. Looks like the moony didn't do it's trick.

Tell you who I don't miss...French Juan / Foxy Boy.

^vosh, competitive, say it aint so

how many years after a ban to the mods release the details to the public?

Kasae 🙁

Does he keep the TSY log on or are we going to have to guess who he is dilemmas dilemmas

Dunno TBH. I don't suppose it makes much difference, but I'm not seeing much of a compelling reason to hit the Reset Button.

Was he ripping on your detective skills?

LOL no but he was ripping on something, I can't exactly remember what. I think it was related to psychometric testing IIRC.

I don't think I can do that really

No I'm pretty sure you can't! 😯

All the girlies
And a lovely chap that lived in Bamford (keith I think) whose forum name escapes me.

Where is McMoonter?

In Fife doing more interesting things.

Sort of related- anyone heard how Bullheart is doing?

I loved the brief appearance of Flapjackie. Her only ever post got deleted although doubt she really existed. Was one of the funnier posts on here.

The one person I truly miss every day though both in real life and on here was Chris_db. A wonderful gent who sadly passed away earlier this year and is the person who got me back into biking and also introduced me to STW. Wasn't the most prevalent poster but was always happy to offer advice. Very missed by a lot of folk.

I had to look back, but that thread wasn't deleted.

haha, was it not? i thought it had been binned when 'she' went into details of her condition 🙂

Good shout what happened to him?

twitter.

(29 posts on that thread but an additional 70 which were deleted, the version I'm looking at runs to three pages...)

Louisa-aka-Bliggy and Mike-aka-BigMike.

(I may have got the names wrong) So much teen angst, didn't Mike grow up to be a normal adult and is still on here? I don't think Louisa actually had a bike?

Ah, TSY... *sigh* 😆 wonder if he still has the jacket...

Crispybacon

Its his birthday today, donchaknow

wonder if he still has the jacket...

It was suede wasn't it? 😀

I've FB'd him to let him know he can come back, although IIRC, the last time I tried to broker his coming in from the cold, he received no reply to his apology e-mail.

Yeah, I explained this earlier.

We'd had a discussion, and it'd been agreed that he could return. However, it would seem that everyone assumed that someone else would let him know, and so no-one actually told him.

Still, it was only three years ago. 😳

Ah sorry, I didn't catch that post. Anyway, I've let him know.

2005 was the best time, ah jumpers for goalposts

Rogerthecat. He's the lovely chap that I couldn't remember the name of.

mastiles_fanylion was decent, and some sport was to be had if you could get him to bite on a graphic design thread.

What happened to him though?

What happened to him though?

Corpsed.

What happened to him though?

I think he got bored of people trolling him.

Walt, Plitts, MillwallGaz, Oldgit, Fatknacker, The Hood, AndyC, Mousefinder General, RiggsyB, Pepper, Jedi

Myheadsashed. Still around?

Don't miss that Fred bloke, he was a bit odd, got upset about something I said and emailed me direct, think it might be me taking the piss out of him riding on pavement steps illegally 😯 (unsolicited so straight to spam, I mean who really expects some kind of debate/apology/reasoning with somebody you don't know?)

Kasae 🙁

+1 and then some.

Surprised this wasn't the first mentioned. Decent bloke when dealing with him on ebay. RIP.

Talking of those passed:

Messiah, the destroyer of more bikes than I've personally owned (and that's a few). He walked it like he talked it. Knew him more in real life than on here though.

And that luthier guy, I think it was jahwomble?

Both missed still. very sad.

MrSmith - Bliggy did not own a bike. I think she might be a lawyer now...

Well, funny how things turn out...

Fruit.....

Facebook messages in the night...

TJ, SFB, Fred.

I'm sure there are others but they're the ones which spring to mind.

There was a young lad setting the world alight (by his own measure), kind of like a love child of hora and GW: moonshine, I think he was.

Might well be on here still, probably more 25 now than 15. His posts were brilliant at the time. 🙂

Edit. He was LukeB latterly, wasn't he?

Midlandstrailquestgraham (?) was always good for stories of how he kept breaking bike parts

I miss TJ's gloriously misplaced optimism about Scottish rugy. Can we have him back please? With a restriction to threads that are not about helmets or politics? Go on, you know it makes sense.

Well there you go. Luckily my 15 year old self (and view of the world) was never online 🙂

The "650b really brings the trails alive" guy.

Can't remember his name, just the abuse he got anytime he popped up on a thread.

Pussywillow (remember the 'serps' thread?)
Bikeind (650b makes the trails come alive...)

I suspect they may have been GW creations

Anybody heard from iDave? Nah, didn't think so.

Oh, and realman, partly for the ribbing he got for his sales 'tactics', mainly for the tdf threads

DeeJay
MarsdenMan
SFB.

i am still on here but don't post much as i coach for a living and don't want to cross any lines 🙁

second log in 😉

Cross any lines? How so?

On holiday, I think.

He coaches colouring in.

I miss Edukator and Some other people but I can't remember who.

Pussywillow

Aka Richmtbguru.

(And Ron70, Shaggmeister and probably others.)

lowey - I too miss marsdenman(one of the nicest chaps one could ever meet).
Deejay and SFB.

Gotta be said, the place is a lot less [b][i]*awesome*[/i][/b] without iDave. 8)

undercover shredders......... 😆

Jedi, if you do get a second log in(far be it for me to suggest such illicit tactics, obvs) may I suggest 'Cupid'?

Luckily my 15 year old self (and view of the world) was never online

Indeed. In many ways I'm glad the site was hacked and that part of my life was nuked from orbit. In fairness I was 13.

Anyway, now late 20's, married, normal job etc. etc.

The half eaten energy bar was still my fav, Lukey....

Cross any lines? How so?

it never stopped that on-one ragley planet-X bloke.
would rather read your posts about riding/coaching than a thinly veiled sales pitch.

there was a young fella called Dwayne, with some awesome skills and a mate who took good photos. he went on a european tour in an MX5, he used to post in some forum, i thought it was here

Fourcross John
Smurf Matt

And genuinely - emsz

#strangest

TSY.... Is that really him?

[img] [/img]

Charlie, yeah it was here, he used to dress up as Santa every year and dos pic

In fairness to Brant, he'd only arrive if you said his name three times...

Philconsequence seemed like a good natured young gentleman.

+1 good to see crikey back

oh, and mastiles_f = johndoh I believe

I never had a problem with his posts, seemed pretty helpful to me.

When was the last time we had a 'Where does your username came from?" thread?

brant is one of the most helpful bloke I have met on here. regardless of buying his designs or not.
rode with esme last year, me and and my wife....another cracking person.

Duane!it was Duane, Dwayne

Yeah, he's still about. Made a great lamp a few months back as last I remember.

is that he same Duane whoa was on UK-MTB?

today i was doing sum awesum coaching akshun 😉

Oh wait, seems Duane is in India

I don't understand that, I can't think of anyone on here less offensive.

Mind you you're a bit scary in real life 😉

I miss Trailmonkey, his revolutionary fervour made me feel like a lightweight reformist. And Konabunny, without doubt one of the most interesting, best informed, and most amusing poster on here imo. Although I'm sure he'll come back, he always does after a long absence.

Welcome back TSY and get you with your new snazzy name. 😀 How you doing?
