I'd think you would be hard pressed to find too many posts in here.
Then I guess the general section is where all the activity is and threads about general MTB would be better served there.

no it's not the conspiracy you think. The old forum was actually moved and renamed to become Press Releases - Cycling Events. The MTB events section was a little quite (maybe because of farkin?) and the mods were working out the best way to deal with commercial posts which were appearing to promote events.
As the MTB events section was predominently filled with press style event annoucements it was moved and renamed to suit all cycling events.
As many of you who have been with the forum a long time know, suggestions for the forum are welcome. If you feel there is a need for a specific topic we (mods) look int it and most of the time will set up the forum (hence retro, recumbents, fixed gear and low rider topics of more recent times).
So, to wrap it up, if you have a good idea then let me know.
Cheers
Christopher

I would agree with MountGower's suggestion. Does not seem there is anywhere to discuss "mountain biking" or mountain bikes now. Given the other forums for different types of bikes, a mountain bike forum would be consistent.

And you're surprised?
Tell the boss man what you want, then support it when it happens. It's as simple as that.

who has forgotten what went on earlier, but that's the way the system works.
BTW, da Boss Man is a moutain biker himself

Had the thread been started in the MTB forum, the confusion would have been less likely.
Chris, can we please have this forum rolled into the "Serious Biking" forum, or at the very least, renamed to "Mountain Bikes"?
Cheers,
Graeme

Once he had finished, the bike was completely useless for off road use.

Maybe we're not "serious bikers" 'cos we're having too much fun to be serious?

I don't know if a full shift is possible. I mean, it should be in theory, but I've got to work out how to do it and me being a bear of tiny brain, it might wind up just being a change of forum names.
I'm not going to attempt anything tonight and I'll be like a cat with two mice tomorrow (kid's birthday parties and soccer matches - single parenting is fun but you've got to do it all yourself). If Christopher logs on tonight, he may do something, if not, I'll try to sort things in the next couple of days.

Then sometimes the "simple" solutions are really dumb ones ... so ignore as you wish. I can already think of reasons against this idea ... oh well.
