So none of you have an account over at mtbr?

Speaking of which, I just remembered my password for over there and they have an insane amount of subforums, including for brands. Useless really.

Crap, they also have more members and more active members...

And it turns out my user title over there is "lurker". I really should get more involved...

Huh? Wha? The braintrust of technical knowledge, better rider/peer reviews, cool ride reports/photos, trail/advocacy info, and regional riding info (at least as pertaining to mtb) at emptybeer and some other mtb specific forums far, far exceeds that of the mtb forum here.

As well as most of them having much less heavy handed moderation going on. :thumb:

It's not as if you have to go and actually read through every subforum ya know.

I was actually responding more to the 3 replies right after my first one.

I saw your thousands of post on mtbr, assuming that you share user names and avatar pics.

The OP does ask for mountain bike specific forums (plural) so bikeforums.net, while nice, really doesn't cut it, like scrublover says for the content difference. Mtbr is my usual hangout and I come over here for a very small bit of variety...although I'm sure we'd love to have the usual witty repartee of the regulars here (what 5 or 6?) over there as well.

I been here for a loooooong time and have a blast here.

but mtbr.com rocks the house down.

...although I'm sure we'd love to have the usual witty repartee of the regulars here (what 5 or 6?) over there as well.It could sure use it . . . as it seems to be heavily populated with junior high boys - - and adults whose writing skills never advanced much beyond that.

Even though I contribute on another heretofore unnamed (and very good) forum, I think it's a bit tacky to use this forum's server and bandwidth to advertise them; so I won't.

See, I don't see that as tacky at all, considering most of other forums mentioned can be found on a simple web search.

Tacky would be shilling for your own site, or one you had some sort of financial stake in.

Well, I was being a bit sarcastic about the witty part...

Literacy level is higher on bikeforums, no contest there.

. . . and I was projecting a bit in my 'tacky' statement. Of course others are free to prop the forums they find useful to them. I should have said that, being a moderator here, it would be inappropriate of me to promote other sites such as RideMonkey (http://www.ridemonkey.com/forums/) and others :innocent:

The lack of capital letters and periods over there hurts my eyes when I try to read. I'd also much rather read pcad's comments or you guys blasting some person name cheeto - both more entertaining and useful compared to "yes" and "no" answers with "awesome" and "sucks" sometimes tagged along and nothing else useful.

To bad about cheeto.

You've got to read over there with more filter.

Specialized sucks.

Something that we, on all fourms, can unite in agreement with.

Especially those that weigh 21.4lbs.

Anyway, Dirt Rag's forum is worth a look through. The inside jokes on there are epic. The MTBR forum really is good for getting a lot of info that's mountain bike specific. I also check the Road Bike Review forum, as the level of ******baggery is so much lower than the road forum here. Seriously, it's an order of magnitude...

I can't believe I recently got flamed for that one. I still can't sit down.

I don't even get half the stuff over here, especially the road forum.

RBR's forum is alright, but I'm pretty sure I'm labeled a lurker there too.

the road forum here is lame and does not even come close to road bike review

Most of the folks on the NC subforum of MTBR aren't really my cup of tea. The South subforum of ride monkey is much better.

ooooooooo I'm gonna narc on you!! *points at dminor* :notamused:

I waste enough time here. If I were to start reading other forums as well, I would most likely lose my job and flunk out of school.
