We would never reach the status and caliber of Joe and BF, but we could get away from some folks with thinner skin.
Just a thought.
Its like Lord of the Flies...Sure we could get our own place. No rules, No "grown-ups"! Then we'd decide that we needed SOME rules because people are getting in fights and offending each other...so some would leave and we'd set up rules...or perhaps get a few good people to MODerate the board...In a best case scenario we wouldn't be half as good as this site but with a couple dozen people.
This site is fantastic, and not just the Singlespeed Forum. $25, Mods and Mayo aside the fact is that we really couldn't do better than this place...and honestly why would we want to?
Remember nobody forces us to donate $25. If you don't think its worth it..keep your money.
