A year and a half when I bought a frame off the classifieds
Disappeared for a while but I came back...funnily enough when I was avoiding revision!Posted 11 months ago # -
Since about 80ish bikes ago
. Sheesh, this site has a lot to answer for 
Actually I even remember my first post - asking whether it was OK to file down a cassette cog to make the teeth longer for singlespeed use
- Brant replied iirc. Oh, and yes, it did work . . . sort of 
(niche ratio or what )

you know you can also file a whole tooth off completely to increase the gear ratio too?

I think I found gofar but never really returned and definitely didn't post on it - wasn't much into the internet then & hardly ever went on at home due to ded slow connection
Found stw proper maybe 9yr ago I guess, when I got broadband

Not as long as some, but longer than others.
I feel my interest waning.Posted 11 months ago # -
- a few years ago,
- not sure but probably for quite a while.Posted 11 months ago # -
Was an inactive member before the hack... probably since 2004. Now I go through weeks where I spend way too much time on here followed by weeks where I don't even think of looking.
Some behaviour drives me crazy, but mostly it's a fun distraction.

since 2003ish, but I lurk more than I post these days.

Too long, since about 2005/6
Trying to wean myself off as it's been a bit boring lately, but it doesn't seem to be working.

2005 ish ... i think .... cant really remember.
no idea how long i'll stay with it .... as long as i'm riding bikes i suppose.

Too long, but before it was STW anyway. Been through the great crash, the log in with anyone's user name, & the ability to post with no user name, having multiple user names etc.
I no longer feel the need to get involved or argue for the hell of it, but I like to chip in if I have a genuine contrubution to make or I want to ask something silly that I wouldn't want to ask anyone else.For more than ten years I have enjoyed the forum, long may it last.

I was here when all this was
fieldsGoFar and Usenet.Posted 11 months ago # -
Shaun was in the process of falling out with Chipps and Mark.
No idea when that was.

About 2002 then

That long, crikey.
It did seem quite surreal at the time, as a noob, watching the sites owners having public ding-dongs on their own forum.
We've got Twitter for that sort of thing now.

I joined a few months ago but this is my first ever post!
I joined up to get info on bikes and rides etc, but it's really quite intimidating on here.
Posted 11 months ago # -
Sod off hurtduck you wimp! What the hell is intimidating about posting on here?!?!
Posted 11 months ago # -
Joined a couple of months ago, you lot got recommended by my whippetmate.
I came in search of enlightement and the refamation but found hippies in a muddy field talking about 29erSS' and slack jawed 160mm travel iron.
Laughed out loud many times since.
Enjoy the Architecture threads.
Enjoy the banter too (yeah, really)
Will I last the distance?? Yup, you're an intellegent bunch believe it or not.

Since about 2004 in various guises.
Posted 11 months ago # -
According to my profile I joined 6th July 2009 after being recommended by a friend.
I find all the bickering quite amusing and don't take it too seriously, but I never join in so it doesn't really bother me.
Similar to bikebouy, I've laughed a lot and have even shed a tear at some of the kindness and generosity of some people.
No plans to leave any time soon as it helps relieve the boredom during the day and allows Mrs MM to watch crap on the TV at night.

A few months.
As with any forum, it's all drivel but a convenient distraction.
Posted 11 months ago # -

Started on the On-One forum before venturing over to STW
