Been away on a study trip so haven't been able to chime in for a while. Anyways, great that this was done. Now I can add the clips posted to my favorites as well.

I can't recall ever being critical about the moderation policies. I made some suggestions in regards to the sign up system on the site, and I also made a couple of comments saying that the users should grow some skin instead of worrying so much about people trying to spoil the fun for others...

Of course I do realize. I take great interest in these topics. I moderate another forum, so I think it's interesting to compare the policies and whatnot between the two. I post in the cycling related threads when I find topics that interest me, but so far those have been far between. Anything...

I think you guys focus too much on a few users who you don't like. Your personal power of ignoring others is a lot more powerful than a ban. I suggest you use it more often. A troll will not damage the conversation/discussion any more in a topic than what the users themselves allow.

Probably less than 2000 users have ever posted in the forums? That is a lot less than what I had estimated considering the traffic the site itself gets.

In order to limit the number of accounts created you could try to make it impossible to sign up with free email addresses. Like they have done on NeoGAF where you cannot sign up with hotmail.com, msn.com, gmail.com etc. Though 20 a day isn't terribly many. I wouldn't say the user base is...

I don't think that this would work very well. For some reason people don't like to troll and spam when it's allowed...

Why don't you just upload to youtube and embed those videos in the news articles instead? The one currently in use takes ages to load, the size of video window is too small and watching it in full-screen results in a horrible quality. Uploading to youtube would result in shorter load times...

If Andy's form continues to grow this year with the same pace it has the last years I don't think that Contador will be able to hang onto his wheel. It's probably going to be about those two this year as well.

Now how the hell did I miss that... *facepalm* Thanks!

Boassen Hagen, anyone?

The only thing I don't like about the Giro is that in terms of big stars it's suffering a bit because of the Tour. The GC riders can't except to do well in both (certainly not win both), so they will have to pick one rather than the other. And for most that will mean that they will ride the Tour...

It's moderated by volunteers from the community. Not saying the forums there are clean, repeat threads are certainly a problem when you deal with a user base that big, but the larger problems such as spamming and severe trolling are kept at bay well, especially when you consider how active the...

I meant boards in general, not specifically cycling boards. I don't browse any other cycling boards, so I wouldn't know anything about that. 240k replies in one board is a lot, but compare that to almost 7 million posts on a forum that has existed for an equal amount of time then the level of...

Haha, these boards are not very active. Shouldn't too hard to keep them clean.
