I did not realize it was viewable to the public. I will change that later tonight, thanks.

Hmm, I wonder how much lighter bikes are since I paid attention to BMX. Are we down to 20lbs and 24spoke wheels yet?

A few have been trying to do 24, but yes, a few have broken 20 pounds.

If some people said on here to those same people in real life, some people would get an ass whooping.

Everyone puts on a brave front on the internet.

i think you should close it for a while,there have been a lot of idiots joining posting spam,then getting banned.

So if they are banned, what difference does it make now?

Lurkers are people who use the search function properly.

Or get scared off by the jerks.

Just noticed; "Most users ever online was 706, Yesterday at 07:31 PM."

Why do we have so many damn lurkers? 300+ all the time.

Damn!
I noticed we were close to the record last night, did not expect that though.

Way to blow things out of proportion. This is the internet, I'm allowed to argue about whatever I want whenever I want. I've got like ten gangs.

I think the more important issue here, is wat collor shud I paint ma sproket?

Websites are private property, technically, you don't have freedom of speech. You only have the rights granted to you by the sites owner.

A bit of advice, ease on the conspiracy stuff. That shit is a rabbit hole with no exit. The further you go the crazier it gets. Go too far and you will find yourself in a very different world, trust me on this.

This is true. Not just bmx related stuff, or porn, snuff, or whatever, but stupid things like people making fun of or arguing with you.  I haven't noticed it in a long time, but first impressions definitely stick around.

See the rules, if you don't like them, leave.

If people are pissed at me for that, there is not much I can do about it. Probably 80% of what people blame me for is actually the staff. I think I have only ever banned one person for arguing with me and only because he got way out of hand. The rest of the time, the staff steps in before I do.

People want and expect this place to be BmxBoard without registration or think they can do as they please. I have no idea why they think that, but they do.

This would work out fine except in a case where a company is trying to hide something from its customers and will not post about it.  Obviously that wasn't the case for RNC, but a 'filter' of relevant news posted by normal members seems faulty in a case where the public needs to know something important or shady about a said company.

Because there have been a few times where me allowing rumors has created problems.  How far did the Dave Mirra on steroids rumor go? All the way to Haro and Dave Mirra, and then back to me. Not exactly the best way for a major corporation or industry heavyweight to be introduced to your site.

This was not the only example. Another member created a fake ad for Odyssey, and another for Albes. It clogged Albes phone lines for hours.

What you see as possible fact, is only a rumor until confirmed and can effect peoples livelihood.

LOL OMG WUT IF MEATSPINNER CUMZ?

dude, if you made it so we had to log in to view the forums, then i'd be able to get on at school.

seriously, just do it for me for the next 3 days so i have something to do in in-school suspension.

You have to log in to view the hate forum, go to that forum direct, that might work.

What about context? That's still a word too, right?

You were allover on that post, so how do you determine context?

Maybe Sheep felt that the announcement of something such as that should be made by the person who owned the company, especially seeing the owner of RNC used to (and maybe still does) post here.

I try to let the companies speak for themselves when I know they frequent the place. I talked to Ryan quite often and was waiting for him to make an announcement.

probably, but if you banned him, he would put the pieces together and find out it was actually bikeguide working in conjunction with the CIA.  The government sees that alaskan knows whats really going on in this country and theyve been trying to shut him up.

Actually, one of the staff would probably ban him before I would, by all rights he already crossed the line.

I usually let shit slide when it is about me regardless of how bad it is. I don't like using my power like that.



Edit: Even though I still end up being blamed for it.

^Sarcasm man. Take it easy cheesy.

Text is text, it does not convey emotion or tone.
I don't know you well enough to know when you are or are not joking.
