The rise and fall of threads that speak of our departed brothers with misty-eyed fondness - TJ, TSY, mastiles_fannylion and others - got me thinking...

You've decided STW is no longer for you [u] or [/u] you've been banned, for some indiscretion, either relating to a secret underwear fetish or your refusal to be bested in a gigathread.

Would you be missed?

And if so, why? Would it be for your sparkling wit, your photoshop skillz or your deep, Meagi-esque knowledge of the MTB millieu?

If you were to ask any resident user to list 500 user names they could remember, mine would not be on that list. If it was I'd be [s]spending[/s] wasting too much time here.

The only thing I ever seem to be "paged" for is knowledge of potential cycle routes in Scotland (and that was mostly under my previous id). That information is usually available online somewhere so I'm sure folk would soon find it.

So, no.

As far as I've experienced in a decade or more of using chat forums such as this, to be missed you must first be banned for being a prolific and relentless bell end.

Most should therefore take comfort in the likely fact that their departures would pass by unnoticed.

Nope.

But I think (unusually) JTD is wrong. There are a few I can think of who have gone, who weren't bell-ends.........

.........just a few though 😉

Id expect a memorial page and a wake at the very least.
Maybe chipps would name a new magazine feature after me and binners could knock up some designs based on my silhouette for posterity like Che Guevara's photo.

Don't sell yourself short, I'd settle for nothing less than a 100' statue, made of solid gold in the middle of Todmorden.

Todmorden

While the north quite rightly venerate and worship me, Id prefer to stay further south if you dont mind.

I'd rather see a neat stack of chopped timber placed at the intersections of Swinley, Delamere, Llandegla (delete as appropriate) to mark the departure of any much-loved ex-STWer. Now that's a send off. 😉

* notices Bazz's post and loves scuzz, obviously *

The 'scary' bit was the heather was thick and level with my ass and moving in the breeze, poo was catching and 'sitting on top' so it was a nervous poo having it waved at you by nature 😆

Nope. I'd hate to think I'd be missed on any website, it would paint a picture of me that I wouldn't be particularly pleased with i.e someone who spends too much time on the net who has created a level of online forum notoriety. Bit sad really.

But then if anything were to happen to me in real life there would only be a very small handful of people who would miss me. 4 in fact.

I can't decide between people rejoicing that I'd done one, or not even noticing. Meh!

Probably approximately 2 people and a dog that'd miss me if I pissed off in real life too. And the dog has dementure, so he probs wouldn't notice 🙁

Well I like to think I'm the person who tells folk their lightweight bikes aren't as light as they think they are, and is a bit of a know it all dick when it comes to lightweight kit.

So no, not in the least, I suspect it would be a better place.

I very much doubt it on most levels... MrsJA might miss me for a bit, but she doesn't post on here.

On a deeper level, I doubt my life makes much difference to anyone.

So, no.
