Square Wheels Posted September 19, 2013 Share #1 Posted September 19, 2013 I think we had a decent first (1/2) day. More than 300 posts in less than 12 hours! There are a lot of big folks here from that other site. Any thoughts on how to attract some of the other popular kids to come play over here? I spammed them enough, and their tolerance for banning seems pretty low. How about other places to attract new members from. Any suggestions?

I spammed them enough, and their tolerance for banning seems pretty low. How about other places to attract new members from. Any suggestions? I think if we want to attract a diverse crowd, we start with the outliers that really shouldn't like us much, like the OG forum. The raid to the mallwalkers forum successfully gained us some people, too. Could somebody find Nate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever you think won't report you as a spammer. jsharr always seemed fun, and while he was controversial I liked BoSoxYacht - sans the death threats. This is what I sent to get you here, and it worked, so a version of this would be fine. Many folks here seem pretty disappointed with the new software that Rodale selected, and rightly so. I created a new site. http://squarewheelscycling.com/ There aren't a lot of rules, well actually there really aren't any. Just be civil and respectful of one another. The badword filter is very limited, and can be adjusted as requested. The sooner you join, the better the chance of getting the user name you want. This will be a democratically run site. You ask for options, I'll deliver the (feasible) ones most requested.

Reverend_Maynard Posted September 19, 2013 Share #24 Posted September 19, 2013 Why did he leave the LF? AFAIK, he got attacked for posting about getting guns and/or training with guns for his kids around the time of the Newtown, CT shootings. VB.1 was the major culprit, from what I saw.

Randomguy Posted September 19, 2013 Share #25 Posted September 19, 2013 Ok, maybe I missed a few, but I pm'd many of the regulars. PM'ing is all messed up there now if you want to start a new one, as far as I could tell. Definitely easier to hit up old PM's and resend with another message.

VB.1 was the major culprit, from what I saw. I knew it was an issue with a forum member, but never caught who. I could believe that as VB1 is a anti-gun nut who likes to go extreme with it.

He might know bike stuff, but he also liked to bash what people rode if it wasn't up to his standards. That's what first turned me off about him, that and the fact the guy is pretty much a loser.
