Topic starter
 

I have either lurked or participated on this forum for a long time, and seem many references to Mleh. Subsequently, I have looked it up and discovered that it is a forum. But what the **** is it about? At least it's got that MTBer at the top blazing a trail, but it has never been all that clear to me that it's about cycling.

Am I missing something? Or is Mleh a deliberately obscure, closed-to-the-uninitiated sort of forum?

In short, what is Mleh?

It's a small bunch of folk, most of whom ride, most have met in real life, know each other well enough for there to be lots of in jokes that you'd do well to get.

it's just a forum, but as Al says most folk have met or know each other well and there's plenty of in jokes
I've found it to be friendly enough 😉

That's ironic. Half the forum members wouldn't know what a shower was.

iain1775 - there have been repeated hacking attempts. One suspects this might be due to someone who "didn't get on" with the forum membership/vibe. In any case, the home URL has moved around a bit.

druidh, you might want to delete that, just in case?

Moderation is pretty non existent, apart from editing folk's posts to wind them up.

Iain, don't let the door etc...

Wasn't mlehworld the offshoot of one of the mid-era flounces from this site?
And what happened over there with TJ?

It's just a shadow of it's former self now it seems. 😕

I used to frequent the mleh, and have met some really, genuinely nice people - one complete stranger even came and helped me and my family move house! Now he may have been stalking me however....

ton - Member

if i remember, i walked up it calling johnny some bad names under my breath.

If I remember rightly there were only 2 daft buggers that rode it all, both in their respective Mlehworld tops :mrgreen:
You might keep up now you've got that derny bike though Ton 😉

Mlehworld is a very welcoming place, as long as you don't go there under the misapprehension that you are somehow superior. Join in, roll with it, accept that this is the internet and not real life 😉 and come along to the mlehmeats for the complete mleh experience.

It's like a soft play area from what I've seen in past, somewhere for the kids to run around without worrying about hurting themselves or upsetting others. Just having a good time with their friends, without worrying about getting into trouble.

Kidding yourselves? cliquey and not accepting of anyone new. Nasty edge to it sometimes. Thats in part why I left

Cynic-al - think of all those who have left and why there are so few left posting on there. It had the potential to be something good.

For many it still is something good, it was never going to be so for everyone.

I had the megaphone at SITS and I wasn't camping with the Mlehers - if it was the same event. I did insult / cheer them all on when possible. Especially Luke whilst carrying his bike frame. I don't remember any fireworks as it was utterly filthy weather and everything was damp!
