In an effort to contribute to the forum, I've been tossing around some ideas for forum threads. Here's a list of some that will never see the light of day. Feel free to add your own rejected ideas.

Senior Member in Training

1. Things that resemble an energy bar.
2. Your favorite Member Suspension posts.
3. Your favorite cycling related injuries.
4. How to create a lovable sock puppet.
5. Best tasting chamois creams.
6. Things that you’ve done on a bike that could land you in jail.

Babes in a Bar.

It didn't last long.

It would have crushed everything else here. End of.

lol @ this thread and your potential ideas

I've always wanted to see a forum awards thread. A place where we vote on such categories as: favorite troll, favorite fanboy, favorite/least favorite moderator, etc. I figure it could be done each year.

I also don't think we'll ever see a Dudes on Bikes thread....thankfully.

1. A proposal for a downhill TTT or even a downhill TT! :confused:
2. Another random thread that begins with an L and ends with a G.
3. Another random thread that begins with a C and end with an R.
4. A thread about a news subject on the main CN web page that doesn't have to go in the Clinc! I mean it is on the front page of the main site, why don't those stories go into a News Clinic section?
5. A thread where we get to post analogous images of females that we have of males all over the place.
6. A thread where we get to question a poster on their post without being banned, or formally threatened or have post removed.
8. A thread where we get to have fun even if the mods think its a fight.

That would certainly attract a new audience to the forum!:D

I sadly once went into that men on machines thread. For a heterosexual male, that totally creeped me out how other men who are most likely heterosexual would have such pictuers and would post them (yes I am talking about you TFF). :D

Alpe, I simply don't possess the inertia to be a trouble maker. Remember, these are the ideas that I rejected! Anyway, thanks for your concern and please don't let some sock puppet hijack my first thread.

Remember that Python sketch about the professors in an Australian university's philosophy department and their fear that their new 'pommy' colleague might be a '****ter'? Well, it's even funnier now that I realize it wasn't that much of an exaggeration.

well to be fair, that is determined on socio-economic-IQ ranges. Calling everyone Bruce, however, is universal.
