You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Forum down all night again. I'm a bit of an insomniac with current events, so need my STW fix at 3 in the morning! Chuck another 50p in the meter FFS!
I was wondering the same 😀
Given the expertise here for all things military and political combined with the limitless number of simple answers to complex questions, I can see why the Russians would try to shut it down.
The vibe is generally pro democracy and it's a fairly high profile site so I'd believe it if it was Russian bots. My partner is involved with the Open Democracy website and that is attacked on a regular basis
I know that some of the denizens at Singletrack Towers sometimes check in on this forum, it'd be interesting to know!

For wood-fired coffee snobs with aspirations to live a #vanlife, I don't think STW is high on the browsing list of world leaders or pariah state overlords...
Yeah I was joking. I don't think a bike forum is on the Kremlin's radar. I suspect more mundane reasons. Hamsters or a coffee spillage on Drac's iPad.
Thinking about it though Vlad is the kind of macho, edgelord that's probably still riding a fatbike...
All the subtle attempts to turn us with anti-vax pro-Putin new members have failed, so they've cut to the chase the power cable.

Nah - he's that macho he's riding a Whyte PRST

Ftfy.
When I suddenly got a 508 Bad Gateway on all of my browsers late last night, I did wonder if GCHQ had gotten wind about a link posted up on the Ukraine thread… 😱☠️
Strange that the Ukraine thread only shows "4" replies (or did last time I looked)
Maybe its a russian hack BECAUSE the hamsters haven't been fed...
Are the russian dwarfs by any chance?

You've just filtered by relevance is all. [Edit] 😉 [/edit]

Sorry, that's my fault, I've fixed the previous post.

That was my second thought this morning 🙂

Nah he'd still be riding an expensive XC MTB from 2002 and telling anyone who'll listen he can still ride down anything on it just fine and the modern stuff is just marketing led nonsense. And inviting you to lift it to see how light 19lbs is and even expensive modern bikes weigh twenty seven pounds and this self-evidently makes them awful.
Since we're talking about the forum inner workings.
As of 13:46 on 03/03/22 its telling me the Ukraine thread only has 45 comments.
