Now that the election is over, it's time to put away the political sigs and avatars, folks. The disruption and complaints about them make a lot of work for the staff and they are in violation of the guidelines.

Given how much emotion has been tied up in this election, on all sides of the issue, we arrived at a compromise solution by allowing positive “I Support <Insert your candidate> avatars or sigs. This was an exception though to allow you to express your wishes for the nation and it's course.

This is, after all, first and foremost, a Bicycle Forum. We try to stay apolitical. It's been a wild ride in this election, and my Moderator and Administration staff and I do thank you for your efforts to keep civil about it, great job, everyone!

So, lets all go back to our regular business, discussing cycling, and everything associated with it, and take down those sigs and avatars over the next week. Thanks,

There are a few others I occasionally come across but I leave those to the many, not the one.

I get weary of the one that tells me my IP, ISP, OS and browser and then where to get one though. How intrusive.

I assume that by "this election" you mean the American one, and that similar exceptions will now be made for the rest of the planet? :rolleyes:

We all realize there is a cause to extend the deadline for New Zealanders.. They have an election in two days. Anyone interested. they have a cannabis party.

"Oh, never mind. Hey, did ya get some food by any chance"?

Naw, mate...weren't YOU gonna do it this time?

"Never mind".

No....I think it's the excess adipose tissue that makes you look fat.
