You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
It seems to have 'gone off' a bit of late. Too much righteous worthiness flopping about. Existing in a persistent lack-of-humour vacuum. People sometimes being almost vindictively unhelpful. It was better than this once, wasn't it?*
Has STW begun to implode into itself?
Do we need to start a new hidden forum somewhere on the interweb that will recapitulate some of that old irreverent fun vibe?
...Or do we just all need a group hug?

Maybe there is one.
Sorry that's not helpful.
Nah it's a busy place now and many different personalities as a whole it's still ok but gone has it when we almost knew everyone having met up at one time.
I was hoping there might be... 😉
Anyone with a sense of houmour was banned years ago. I have a sense of humour but am careful never to display it here for fear of being banned too.

Got a good mind to report you for that.
Yes you do have a sense of humour Edukator you support Maggie T 😉
Pigface? I got some albums by a band called that. You a fan by any chance?
Or do you look like a pig?
Sadly I look like a pig 😳
Me too. I got a really small penis as well. Hope that makes you feel better.
Maybe some good weather to put people back in a shiny happy place, clear blue cloudless skys without even vapour trails in them? Dry dusty trails, world cup action in the country for people to watch if they wanted, even some great roadie action on the TV to watch?

Oh, sh1t, that didn't work did it... Back to plucking up courage for my first "what tyres" thread (what tyres for lifting over stiles on a cheeky ride seeing as you asked).
Not really so have I 😥
I've only supported Maggies economic policy Pigface. I've criticised her NI and foreign policy on other threads and her social contribution was a mixed bag. Credit where it's due though eh.
Mine hasn't been in a girl for a long time either (and never in a man). I'm starting to wonder whether I should change the Alps trip to an Amsterdam trip. Probably cheaper than wining and dining, and at least I'll definitely get laid.
even some great roadie action on the TV to watch?
That would cheer me up, as long as it wasn't backstage at a Marilyn Manson gig 😉
It's all this bloody politics and crap long winter. It's sunny today, Call me Dave will be in power in couple of weeks and everyone will be pedalling around gay as a daffodil 😆
It's always been like this. You think the religions bad? You should have seen the arguments when UK/US re-invaded Iraq in 2003.
Nostalgia is over-rated.
It's always like this, upi just have to choose your threads carefully
Okay... would someone offer examples of some funny threads in the last month please! I haven't found any for ages 🙁
Not surprising there isn't much fun on here. Most people are pissed about summit and looking to vent some frustration.
What we need is some bi-polar messianic rantings of a schizophrenic cult leader
earth shake
One cheak is better than none!

excuse me can you exhale I'm trying to get past.
If that's real the possiblities are endless

there is still joy and fun on STW,just look at the headset thread and the one about ball shaving, that had me in giggles for ages.
Some folks just take stuff too seriously and get a bit keyboard warrior, as long as there is always someone to gently take the piss it'll still be OK, although to be honest it's all getting a bit political and there appear to be a lot of zealots.
still the sun is shining and there's lots of riding to do, so when I revisit STW in the autumn it'll have either got more chilled or turned into a festering pile of bile,spite and hatred. 😕
Now if I can just train you to sh1t in the toilet and to not wipe your ass on the floor, I'll be sorted.

Run and duck

Anyone find this worrying?

bring fred back...Run and duck
yeah fred really lightens the mood doesn't he 🙄
tazzymtb - I suspect the ball shaving had you in giggles when you tried it - during and afterwards. 😉 'Course I have no evidence to base that on.
No, I don't want any evidence.
WTF are you on about? This place is well funny! Loads of blinkered narrow-minded idiots to make look stupid! I find it hilarious! 😀

Your wait is over.
Harken unto me, my children, for I shall lead you to the Promised Land...
I say get rid of the right wing one eyed english rugby fans 😀
I've already got one bald head, I don't need another one.
I'm trying to grow my man fur down below into an 80's rock mullet to compensate.
At moment it looks more like charlie chuck 😀

Backhander you must have a Guilty Conscience 😉
Backhander you must have a Guilty Conscience
Always man, always.
We could all post pictures of our bums.
hidden forums aint gonna be funny if we can,t find them and I don,t know anything about lack of humour vacuams,we have a dyson.
The eating,drinking,listening thread is a throw back.And all the better for it.
My best suggestion is more boobies. as always.
You can never have too many boobies.
For you backhander. a blue footed booby

Do we need to start a new hidden forum somewhere on the interweb that will recapitulate some of that old irreverent fun vibe?
I think I will take to the grave my disappointment at not being invited to join Secret Singletrack (along with never having been good enough for a Man of Porridge invite, Jon).
Never mind. I raced BMX bikes in the eighties, and that compensates for pretty much everything.
Forums all go like that, it's the law. They start off sort of novel and innocent and friendly in a slightly smug, self-congratulatory sort of way. Then they get popular. The original posters find it hard to cope. It's a like a village in the green belt that gets a small housing development built alongside it. The regulars whine that all these nasty incomers are drinking at their local.
Then the disaffected originals start their own 'secret' splinter forum(s) and leave the barbarians to it. And then it all happens again. But somewhere, written into the law, is a sub-clause that says occasionally the odd original poster returns to paint the walls a nostalgic shade of misety-eyed sepia and ask plaintively 'didn't it all used to be so much better / funnier / nicer / more welcoming around here?'
And of course, it did, for them.
And then the whole process repeats itself endlessly ad nauseum.
Does that help?
BWD,
An excellent somethingion.
Nostalgia isn't what it used to be
