No, I refuse to participate in their farce, until they let me back in - but feel free to post on the thread - or to the mods themselves - that the mods have killed it. It's only a tradition brought over from BR Forum that's at least 18 years old and possibly more, that was important enough to our small community that I spent hours and hours getting the wayback machine to archive it when BR deleted everything.

Once upon a time, a young lad called frenchfighter (who I actually met) wrote something similar...

Yes, but he did a flounce! I'm being dragged out kicking and screaming!
I did used to get quite annoyed with him - mainly when he was spamming the live race threads with 5 billion megapixel images while I was trying to use it as a text update TdF stage thread on the bus home from work. Cheers mate, bang went my data for the month, and they didn't even manage to bloody load!

But you had to forgive him for the cardboard 'we love Contador' sign he did for, I guess, the 2014 stage in London. I ended up getting threats from him in my private messages after he'd flounced.

He was the Dirk Hoffman of BikeRadar after that errrr effort.

Remember the Flanders & Roubaix MyMan pick-a-number sweepstakes (pick a number, I give you a rider, you cheer for him as if he was your man all race)?

I might have *slightly* fixed it for him to get Gerrans

I posted in the Lantern Rouge thread that No_ta wasn’t going to be able to do updates and it’s been deleted as ‘no longer relevant’. Do they just have too much spare time? Even if he’s now unbanned(?) what’s the point in deleting a post simply explaining the lack of updates?

It just sounds petty. I suspect he's got someone's back up. Or maybe they are looking in here and wondering how it's going to play out.

Actually, they’ve deleted another post as that one is still there. Who knows?

Ah, maybe they aren't being petty. I definitely got the feeling they kept an eye on my posts for a while watching for furrin language infractions.

Cheers @Pross,
I've been given time off for good behaviour - which assumes they don't read this particular bit of the forum too often

So thanks for the help and ..... So long suckers - I'm outta here!*

They've now locked the pro cycling thread regarding dodgy sponsors. It's been going for ages and yet they now decide to close it to 'review content'.

The last post on there won't have helped...

Not surprising that it's strayed into NCAP territory.

I think mods have got a bit hotter recently.
