State of the forum 2026

[Netserk]

I just noticed 'Cycling111' has deleted his account.

Everyone knows when you delete your account, you also die in real life, so I shall write his obituary.

He gave me a greater appreciation for some of the nuances of the English language. I always enjoyed his machine translator completely missing the intent of my posts, sometimes using a word from the thesaurus that didn't quite fit the circumstance and of course his fury at people using the 'laughing' react to his well thought out points, cycling is extremely serious business after all. My favourite Cycling111 moment was him angrily accusing us of wanting to have Del Toro 'lynched' after we laughed at him slipping out of that corner in Burgos last year, as well as him calling Ilmaestro a 'demagogue' because he wasn't happy they were only showing Trofeo Laigueglia after the race on Youtube.

This is not to mock, his English no doubt much better than my Spanish. I like to think he's he's still out there, throwing his laptop against the wall because someone complained about a long solo, creating an account on the Croation version of Cyclingnews Forum to bemoan the lack of support for Pog in MSR. If anybody can do it, it's 'Cycling111'. Rest in Peace.

how many of the deleted accounts do you think have returned under a new banner

Several. Although the goat El Pistolero could never be cloned.

3 weeks might be a record for returning, I think even Blueroads lasted longer.

Unless Ray pretending to be his own wife pleading his case for an unban counts.

That is some cynical way of putting people in lockers. Almost like the exact thing what is wrong with the world right now, believe us or you are a hater and fearmonger. And when I look to the bottom of it, thats how poggies image was build since he joined the ranks of UAE, Gianetti and Matxin. Believe us or...

Lance had his I am sorry you don't believe in miracles thing. And as a fan of the sport since the 90s, i'm truly sick for what they are selling us again.

It's the exacte opposite of what it claims to be. Nothing if not cynical.

I guess the state of the forum users has just improved following a rare defeat of the Dark Lord. Am I right, @Red Rick ?
