Zealot 4,442 Posted January 14 Share #52 Posted January 14 LF was falling apart. I was invited to come here. Many of the folks I knew and liked there were here. So, I hung around. 😊 The LF was my first foray into online forums. I was there for a long time and invested way too much of myself into it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
12string 3,473 Posted January 14 Share #53 Posted January 14 I was on LF when it started dying, and a whole bunch of my good friends there sent me the link to the new place they were all hanging out so I wouldn't be left out. After a few years of waiting for www.12stringwillbelieveanything.com to stop giving me 404's, My bad typing while helping a friend find parts for his Country Squire Wagon led me here.

You really need to capitalize "Nazi". I'm surprised you didn't notice the red line. Probably also make it plural but not possessive? Or was there just one Nazi harassing you there? 16 hours ago, BuffJim said: Besides for the obvious, I still don’t get why everyone picks on him. See above 1 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Palesaint 48 Posted January 15 Share #63 Posted January 15 I didn't have the pleasure of being on LF....... I did join Foo back in 2006 and I think a thread (probably locked shortly thereafter) mentioned the square wheels. Now Foo is lame so I mostly just stalk around here. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I was there for a long time and invested way too much of myself into it. I started on a computer forum, Anandtech. Then I wanted to branch oot and I think it was around 1998 I started in the love forum. I was always a big fan of The Big Question in the bicycling rag, and they peppered comments from the forum throughout the magazine, so I was drawn there, and then it morphed into this, so viola! I R here! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Further 15,840 Posted January 16 Share #69 Posted January 16 Way back in the mists of time I was using my kids Walmart Mt bike to access fishing spots. After a while I realized that I was seeking out fishing spots based more on the ride to them than the fishing I was likely to find. Perusing the internet for bicycling knowledge lead me to the Bicycling magazine site, and then the Love forum.... When the Love forum fell apart I followed the group to the new and improved diggs Thank You square wheels 1 Link to post Share on other sites
