On behalf of Internet Brands I want to thank the entire community for your tireless contribution to the site. Bike Forums is a great place to socialize about the sport of biking, however, it is much more than just that. It is a place that grows the sport by distributing the best ideas of biking throughout the country and the globe. That BikeForums holds that place is a credit to every contributing member of the community.

Our administration and moderation teams undertake a very difficult job, of which they assume on their own time. They do so because they love biking and believe that BikeForums.com can become the Internet’s premier source for experienced biking advice and advocacy.

I know the last few weeks have been difficult for all. However, it has been difficult because everyone is passionate about making BikeForums.com the best it can be. All online communities have or will face situations where two sides honestly differ about important issues. What is important is that we make the accommodations necessary to ensure best outcome for the community as a whole.

The policies Brian posted are a great step in creating transparency in how our moderation teams make decisions. I fully support our team and hope that these policies will help avoid similar discomfiture as we grow. I encourage anyone who wishes to provide feedback to myself or the BikeForums team to do so to ensure the continued healthy growth of BikeForums.

Looking forward to a great year,
