According to Shelfield, 

What is a Flahute?

The type of rider who wins races where 150 riders start and one finishes—that’s a Flahute.

A Flahute thinks the Tour de France is just a bunch of long training rides. A real race is one where it’s pouring rain, it’s cold, the roads are treacherous, and the prize list is about the same as your 8-year-old neighbor’s allowance. When you’re a Flahute, that’s racing.

To put it another way, if your cycling spirit dampens at the sight of rain, you sure as shoot ain’t a Flahute.

 

or perhaps a type of beans?

Exactly how do you earn points?  Posting, likes, topics?  I've never understood how points are accumulated.  :unsure:

It's not easy to figure out, I posted the details a year or two ago (or maybe last month).  Sorry, I don't know where that post is.

Here's how it really goes:

First, the points value of any post is determined by running the post through the points tallying machine, shown below on the square table,

Next, the output of the machine is entered into Forum data base by an unpaid intern

and the state of the art terminal prints out the score for that particular post and the total points for the person who made the post. 

From there the intern takes the white ticket to the Forum Data Storage Center, where the information is kept securely so everyone's point count remains accurate.
