Posters on here you miss

I’m still waiting for Cougar to tell us precisely what TSY did to get a ban.

I do remember I had an exchange with him at one point about something and the way he made his points left me wanting to find out where he lived and then crap through his letter box.

I’ve heard that TJ continues to read the forum and may occasionally supply certain users with his opinions and/or evidence to back up their arguments.

Last I heard GW was on a self imposed Internet ban, presumably being as awesome as he was at it was taking up too much of his time.

My nostalgia for the forum of years past isn’t really about specific posters, but more about a time when I spent more time on here and felt more part of its community. There’s a bunch of people I used to ride with who I don’t see much in real life anymore, nor on here. Coogan (formerly Vosh) is still about and so is epicsteve but I haven’t actually seen them for years and others like dgoab, winstonsmith and a bunch of the Sterling riders are even more dim memories really. Epic trolling or argument threads aren’t part of my forum memories, as much as the friendly chat threads that sprung up before and after rides and meet-ups.

Was he ripping on your detective skills?

Coogan (formerly Vosh) is still about

He’s not the same man, though. He’s ridden a bicycle competitively for crying out loud…

I don’t think I can do that really, you’ll have to take my word for it. If anyone knows him IRL to tell him he can come back if he wants, then you can ask him yourself.

Cressers.

He’d have had a field day over the last couple of weeks.

Unfortunately, still around. Looks like the moony didn’t do it’s trick.

Tell you who I don’t miss…French Juan / Foxy Boy.

^vosh, competitive, say it aint so

how many years after a ban to the mods release the details to the public?

Kasae 🙁

I shall FB forthwith [ later this evening as no access at work]- though Jamie will beat me to it

Does he keep the TSY log on or are we going to have to guess who he is dilemmas dilemmas

Dunno TBH. I don’t suppose it makes much difference, but I’m not seeing much of a compelling reason to hit the Reset Button.

Was he ripping on your detective skills?

LOL no but he was ripping on something, I can’t exactly remember what. I think it was related to psychometric testing IIRC.

I don’t think I can do that really

No I’m pretty sure you can’t! 😯

All the girlies
And a lovely chap that lived in Bamford (keith I think) whose forum name escapes me.

Where is McMoonter?

In Fife doing more interesting things.

Sort of related- anyone heard how Bullheart is doing?

I loved the brief appearance of Flapjackie. Her only ever post got deleted although doubt she really existed. Was one of the funnier posts on here.

The one person I truly miss every day though both in real life and on here was Chris_db. A wonderful gent who sadly passed away earlier this year and is the person who got me back into biking and also introduced me to STW. Wasn’t the most prevalent poster but was always happy to offer advice. Very missed by a lot of folk.

I had to look back, but that thread wasn’t deleted.

haha, was it not? i thought it had been binned when ‘she’ went into details of her condition 🙂

(29 posts on that thread but an additional 70 which were deleted, the version I’m looking at runs to three pages…)

Louisa-aka-Bliggy and Mike-aka-BigMike.

(I may have got the names wrong) So much teen angst, didn’t Mike grow up to be a normal adult and is still on here? I don’t think Louisa actually had a bike?

Ah, TSY… *sigh* 😆 wonder if he still has the jacket…

Crispybacon

Its his birthday today, donchaknow

wonder if he still has the jacket…

It was suede wasn’t it? 😀

I’ve FB’d him to let him know he can come back, although IIRC, the last time I tried to broker his coming in from the cold, he received no reply to his apology e-mail.

Yeah, I explained this earlier.

We’d had a discussion, and it’d been agreed that he could return. However, it would seem that everyone assumed that someone else would let him know, and so no-one actually told him.

Still, it was only three years ago. 😳

Ah sorry, I didn’t catch that post. Anyway, I’ve let him know.

2005 was the best time, ah jumpers for goalposts

Rogerthecat. He’s the lovely chap that I couldn’t remember the name of.

mastiles_fanylion was decent, and some sport was to be had if you could get him to bite on a graphic design thread.

What happened to him though?

What happened to him though?

Corpsed.

What happened to him though?

I think he got bored of people trolling him.

Walt, Plitts, MillwallGaz, Oldgit, Fatknacker, The Hood, AndyC, Mousefinder General, RiggsyB, Pepper, Jedi

Myheadsashed. Still around?

Don’t miss that Fred bloke, he was a bit odd, got upset about something I said and emailed me direct, think it might be me taking the piss out of him riding on pavement steps illegally 😯 (unsolicited so straight to spam, I mean who really expects some kind of debate/apology/reasoning with somebody you don’t know?)

Kasae 🙁

+1 and then some.

Surprised this wasn’t the first mentioned. Decent bloke when dealing with him on ebay. RIP.

Talking of those passed:

Messiah, the destroyer of more bikes than I’ve personally owned (and that’s a few). He walked it like he talked it. Knew him more in real life than on here though.

And that luthier guy, I think it was jahwomble?

Both missed still. very sad.

MrSmith – Bliggy did not own a bike. I think she might be a lawyer now…

Well, funny how things turn out…

Fruit…..
