MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
I just read that Jeremy Corbyn is getting interviewed on mumsnet. Why don't we ever land the big guns? 🙁
Because STW would be unlikely to find out his views on penis beakers and the OXO tower.
Why don't we ever land the big guns?
Sex discrimination. Wimmins on mumsnet, 98.37% mens on here.
Shifty bugger obviously doesn't want us to know that Labour are going to make 29in wheels compulsory and impose a hefty tax on wood-burning stoves.
Boring answer; reach. I wouldn't be surprised if mumsnet had tenfold traffic over this place. (Some techy type will even know how to find that sort of thing out, probably)

Surely he'll be re-introducing the penny farthing....

About 4-5 times as much, but pretty good estimate.

Oddly that's far better for STW than I'd have thought. STW towers are pretty influential in the "Likes bikes, likes talking shit" market

Much more the latter for a lot of contributors.

HOLY STACK, BATMAN!
Subsidised cannondale forks for all.
I'd be tempted to ask him about his preference at trail centres.
As far as I can see he pretends to quite like the greens, absolutely detests the blues, obviously prefers the reds and in his younger days used to ride the blacks, but not anymore.
^^Oof ^^
How long do you think it would take for someone here to tell him he's completely wrong about what he thinks he thinks and then spend hours arguing about the semantics of what he typed without actually involving jezza and dismissing him with Jambafacts* when he did try and speak?
On the up side the lack of opportunity to reply would give him chance to Google the costs of policies any how.
At least on mumsnet he's likely to just be wrong**.
*other unverified sources of inflammatory information are available.
**he might be right, but this is the internet, so odds are not good.
It's aboit votes init ..Mumsnet - voted Halfords bike retailer of the year. Obviously credibility in voting counts

I just had to go get some coffee just to spit it all over my keyboard.

Close the internet, it won't improve after that.
There is actually a site for people who don't put spacers under their stem? It even has an archive so you can fondly remember bikes from the past that didn't have spacers under the stem.
Have you read the kind of nonsense they spew on MN? Once they realise he's a man(-ish) they'll be torn between loving him and hating him and their heads'll pop.
Win for Perchy!

Outstanding PP, time to retire..you will never top that!
Surely a contender for reply of the year in the annual STW awards?
Mumsnet's famous, we're not.
Also, PP is a genius.
Nice one Perchy!

many things on the internerd cause me smile, rarely does something have me laughing out loud. many heads were turned in the office.. no one else got it.

This deserved at least some recognition.
Bloody hell! 😳
Just goes to prove that if you shovel enough shite then eventually you'll throw up a diamond.
I'm glad I didn't throw the line in about how he's a singlespeed type of guy now but had a brief flirtation with a full-bouncer in his youth.

Well, he wouldn't have to ask too politely to get a reach around off here now would he.
He obviously doesn't know that they can openly call him a cxx7 where as the worse he'd get here is judged on over use of spacers.
They love a good swear up.
It isn't just Jezza, though.

About 4-5 times as much, but pretty good estimate.
Those numbers are out by a factor of three. We get around 3 million 'visits' a month.
We were on track for 2 million unique users in the last 30 days until the sunny bank holiday came and buggered that up.
It's not quite Corbyn, but part of a thread from this form was used on last year's AS English language paper for the meaning and representation question.
'tis true. I had to sign an agreement to allow it.
Mark - Resident GrumpyThose numbers are out by a factor of three. We get around 3 million 'visits' a month.
Yeah, but a million of those are me, at work
Mumsnet is ace, and curiously addictive. Come for the pregnancy and parenting advice, stay for the parking threads (with diagrams).
They also have pretty good product tests, I was gutted that I couldn't put myself forward for testing the Thule Chariot Cougar last year (was pregnant at the time, therefore didn't have a child to test with - still looking for a good trailer now our spawn is ten months old). 🙁

Is if fair to assume the Mumsnet figures are similarly skewed?

I'd like to make it clear that STW's Chariot Cougar is not available for testing.

Our education system really has gone to hell.

Well I can only speak with authority on our numbers but I'd be similarly suspicious of any other numbers that site reports.
According to Alexa Singletrack is ranked 2069th in the UK and Mumsnet is ranked 440th. And looking at the pageviews % it looks to me like Mumsnet is about 3 times bigger than Singletrack in terms of page impressions. We clocked up 8 million page views in the last 30 days so I'd estimate that Mumsnet is delivering around 24 million page impressions to about 4 million unique users (vs our 1.9 million).

I worded it badly but that was kinda my point.
We're doing ok, it seems, for what is superficially a niche target audience. "Mums" vs "MTBers," the odds are in their favour.
Brilliant thing about STW is it's stored repository of good advice/entertaining bolleaux; Pretty sure I actually found this place in search results for a random NON mtb related search request, and since then it frequently pops up high up in the results for non MTB googling (even when googling on public/work PCs). I'm sure I'm not alone in this. 'Tis ace, this place.
I always said,
You'll come for the bikes,
You'll stay for the bollocks.
Mark - Resident Grumpy
We clocked up 8 million page views in the last 30 days (our 1.9 million unique users).
Seems extremely high for an mtb site? I guess you need to factor in people with multiple devices. I, possibly, personally account for 4 of those unique users? ie phone/laptop/tablet/work. Guess if you are getting those from IP address, then possibly 3 users(home/work/mobile). Though, maybe even more if it is ip address, considering, logging in to public wifi, parents house, friends houses etc.
Be amazed if there's 1.9 million active user accounts on here?
[quote=Cougar ]You'll stay for the bollocks.
Clearly mumsnet can't compete there.

Users not members. Mark will explain how it they are counted.
1.9m members is possible just on Fred's aliases alone.
Surprised by those figures tbh - they are quite thought provoking when one considers the limited circulation of some quite well known printed magazines.
Does TJ realise that he is one of the UK's most widely read lefty's and, if so, what will he do with that power?
Also CFH will be wondering how he can monetise his style and travel advice.
I just want to know what the AS English exam thread was!
And nice one PP 🙂

jeez, they could have at least picked a good thread with some their/theyre/there, 0/10, bombers, toilet jokes, chippy northerners, helmet discussions etc etc.
Think cruzcampo might have been exaggerating too, 1-5 days off/month 😆
Still, nice to see Ton as an example of English language usage, an educational model for the coming generations.

I can just imagine the question:
Evaluate the success and relative merits of the [there certainly won't be more than one] evidence based argument vs JUST SHOUTING REALLY LOUD in this discussion about the benefits of wearing a helmet.
They could have subscribed as well!

Would have thought it more likely this place would pop up in a psychology exam.

Yes, it is...

There's a time and a plaice for discussing such a serious subject.
It's no laughing matter if you almost carp yourself.*
