In case you weren't already thankful for the TE forum...

The flavor of any board is determined ultimately by the admin and the guidelines given to the moderators.

Exactly. There's no problems from guys on BV forums, although they enjoy their photos on one thread. But Australian Cycling Forums made an awful mess of setting up its women's forum (and even a male friend mentioned last weekend they discuss their bits too much). I logged out after the women's forum debacle and won't be back. Just wish I could tell their sponsors I'll be avoiding them too. Who would have thought it's that hard?

The N. California regional forum on BF is quite good, with a generally helpful and supportive bunch. Just MHO.

The Long Distance/Randoneeuring forum is pretty good as well. It is supportive and pretty helpful.
