Yet another reason to stick with TE

[East Hill]

Just keeping up with THIS forum is getting to be a full-time job .
How do those of you who read and post on BJ and TE have time to do anything else (like ride your bikes) ?? I try to be selective, but even still...

I guess time management is not one of my strong suits.

If you're like me, I can access these sites through my workplace at break time. I also work graveyard, so most of my riding is done in the morning. I usually look through interesting stuff on the computer just before I go to bed.

And I'm a fast reader!

hmm.. can't see link. odd.. i have a bf login. not that i **really** need to see it. more curious why i can't.

says I don't have the right permissions:

$bbuserinfo[username], you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

I went back there, it's finally been removed. It only took what, 18 hours?

I guess the colour of our money is not as good as someone else's. We know where to vote.

Did I mention that this is another reason to support TE?

Now if we could only become donating members here. Or can we?

Hi Everyone- Since I see a recurring problem w/ other boards having yucky, objectionable junk on them, I thought I'd share this. I'm not trying to advertise, but wanted you to be aware that it is a decent board. I( myself) is the community leader there and We don't allow "junk" on it and "junk" is reported. The board is slower than this one ,but nice. You're welcome to visit or join.
"TE is the only other cycling forum I go to daily. I come here for info, hang out, and cyber fun w/ this great group of ladies(and gent) and I'm community leader of Cycling & Triathlons over at ivillage.com. Since I head up that board, I keep it clean and fun like I receive here. So anyone is welcome to visit. Ivillage has strict rules too and I like them, they help keep spammers and inapproprite conversations off the boards." Jennifer

Your money has absolutely nothing to do with it. All members are treated equally no matter how much money they have donated, even if they have not donated a penny.

lowcel, you should read the rest of the thread very carefully.

I made a valid complaint about the tenor of some of the 'jokes'. I was lambasted by a member. It's not funny. It's harrasment. It's not just me that doesn't like it.

You have lost members by disparaging our point of view, and I know moderating is a thankless job.

It still doesn't excuse the rudeness of some of the members. You should take a look at some of the SoCal forum's posts from the past day. It's not funny, and it disparages members from both TE and BF.

I like both TE and BF--at least the forums I visit. But I don't want to have to look at infantile crap everytime I look at something besides C & V.

We're asking for understanding. We can't vent over there--we have been harassed for doing so.

I still don't see what money has to do with it. I guess I just don't understand.

The money is to show support here.
