Really!!! What's did you do???? Things were pretty tense for a while, and Koffee Brown kept a pretty tight reign on things. She's gone, and it's a bit more relaxed.

I'll see if I can get an email address or some way for everyone to get access there.

my husband has some resentments about the fact that we have an all woman forum and there isn't such a thing for men. I told him there's no rule that a guy can't post here, but he was not mollified. wah wah wah.

i have noticed that on forums where the majority of posters are men there is
an AWFUL lot of chest beating...

Tell him that it took a woman to start it. He can start his own if he wants to.

I've heard men whine about other women's things, like Women's History Month, Women's Studies at my university, etc. Their little myth is that there's no Men's History Month, Men's Studies, etc. Well, hello--until relatively recently in our cultural history (through most of the 20th century at least), almost all studies were men's studies and most of the history taught and celebrated involved what were known as "great men"--great white men, at that--"dead white males."

And if men want to have their own forum, one of them just has to ... start one.

But we do have a pretty cool thing going here, and I can see why any guy would be envious.

I loved Irulan's description - sausage fests.

I'm active on two other forums bikeforums.net and bicyclegroup.com.

BF is a good place to go and "chat", find out information but the site is sooooo large, it's a nightmare. Posts easily get lost. A number of TE folks also post at BF.

BCG is a small, family-like forum. It's "bike centric" although threads sometimes gets off track. I think its an excellent place for a newbie or anyone to go. You would be treated with respect. Rudeness is not tolerated (much). I've met alot of the BCG folks at Interbike last year, a very nice group of people. Give BCG a looksee. Most likely questions will be politely and expertly answered.

Koffee is gone!?! Yay. I basically called her an idiot. Maybe in not so nice terms......

Hmmmm. If she's gone maybe I'll give BF another chance.

Yeah, apparently, you weren't alone in feeling that way! The only time I ever had 'words' with her was when she started dissing TE. I just would NOT tolerate that!


I just heard back from Lala, one of the moderators, and I think everyone I listed above should be able to see the women's forum. If I didn't get you, just send a PM to Lala or Stacey, and they'll give you access. Just look for them on the member list.
