So who have we lost due to Updategate?
Not seen Ton for ages, amedias has returned to Cycling UK and Flashy's taken his ball in.
J******** and T*M seem to have eloped, and many others seem to only be visiting to whine on the update thread.
Who else has flounced recently?
<span style="font-size: 0.8rem;">Do you expect them to return?</span>
Jambalaya is still around I think?
Ton started thread today...
I've flounced. Never to return.
Then came back 5 minutes later cos there was nowhere else to go.
Really? What for?

Not sensed a disturbance in the Force for weeks......
I'm a follower. I will only flounce if the rest of you lot do as well.
I can't imagine this place with me presiding as the most senior member.
I flounced and took my P away, but came back as I couldn’t find any other worthy virtual hangouts. I’ve not seen posts from bearnecessities for a while.
Need to reinstate the P too!
So are you just funkmaster now?
Getting busier as the days go by, as expected really. Now the forums settled down more will return.
Really? What for?
Me? Can't remember. Doesn't take much.. I'm very thin skinned.
I would flounce but who would notice.
Not seen Surfmatt for a while
My interactions have reduced. And will likely do so again when my P expires and I have to suffer the ads.

I thought the bragging rights were a bargain?
My interactions have reduced.
Me too. I've lost my mojo.
Generally my posts involve riffing off amusing things that other people have said. The vastly reduced number of posts and the po-faced nature of the forum of late have left me with slim pickings indeed.
I've even found myself missing mrsfry......a little bit.
Where's Loddrik these days?
Loddrick was on classifieds yesterday.
Hey! everyone join my free forum. You can say swears on there if you want. There's no mods. Not even I go on it 😆
[tin hat] We hardly hear from Mark anymore [/tin hat]
I'm not here.
I'm over here, having tea with these architects
I wonder how many new memebers will he created so as to not lose face after an apocalyptoflouce...
Haven't noticed much difference, but then, I did really notice any of the 'issues' whilst the site was up anyway.
I enjoy the STW Select FB account too, some nice pics and as long as you're talking about serious contentious issues like biscuits it's busy.
And I have to admit, it seems completely poltics free, which is nice.
In fact, if I had to give a reason why some days I CBA with STW, it's the politics. I'm frankly over it, when until the next opportunity to vote on something anyway.
I spend a lot more time lurking and stalking perchy ,just to see if he posts anything funny. 🙂
I'm not a robot
I'm hanging up my boots, you'll be devastated to hear.
Will probably still pop in with the odd tech question or whatever though.
Just doing my first check of the forum today at 16:00 🙂

You might be waiting a while. I hope you brought a flask of tea and a blanket.

SPDs or flats?
Joe Cocker hasn't posted lately. Just sayin'

I'm probably about to turn it down in my feed, glancing at it there is mostly I went for a ride, or I have a bike pic. Which is fine but Facebook does that with people I actually know.
For tech questions or discussions Facebook os a bit pants to try and follow anything especially on mobile. Add in its a website that I try and avoid having open at work this place should work better
Same as scotroutes. Cancelled my 'P' and don't visit here as often. Update seems to have pissed a lot of people off...
#edit - and yet my 'P' status remains...

One Facebook feed from Singletrack with old stories from the website is bad enough. Can't imagine having more!

I'm pretty sure the 'Select' FB page is entirely user generated. It's all riding pics, questions about stuff, Strava maps and well, lots of people moaning about the forum being crap or something.
There was a guy trying to promote his magnetic chainring, with proposed chain retention benefits... That got deleted though...
Any swivel eyed loons on there, or is it all a bit sensible?
Bit of a love in tbh
I am enjoying the quieter forum. It makes my job as stealth moderator easier. I am a very moderate man.
Haven't seen druidh or wanmankylung for a while
Or tj for that matter
Shame.
I like the eccentrics.
I was considering joining Arsebook if this place turned up it's toes, but if it's all 'Look at my Audi' I don't think I'll bother.
Cfh?
I rarely lurk at work anymore, the time I came out of a meeting to my PC blareing out "your PC has a virus" "your PC has won a prize" and 23 other popups means i close the tab when away from my computer and if its not there I tend not to bother reading it.
Brexit thread's dropped out of the first few pages as I type, what's not to like?
Always been a lurker more than a poster, but posted for the first time in two years last night and got some helpful replies. There's still a great pool of knowledge here, but it's deffo changed in the last few years.
Not sure what has caused folks to move on....boredom?!

surely you aint serious!?!
TBH I’m surprised if some Bans haven’t been handed out...
Over the period of upgrade there were some pretty “excited” and vocal individuals, and the Mods (bless em’) were very tolerant IMO.
Give it a while, wouldn’t be surprised if they return a little tamer for a week or so.
