What Happened to The 181?

A while ago I sort of noticed, but didn't pay a lot of attention to the numbers that the forums were assigned.

For a long time the Road Racing forum was known as "The 33" because of that number. That's continued as the title for that forum. The C&V used to be 181 (IIRC).

It looks like the Bike Forums is no longer using those names, or is it??

You're right, during one of the upgrades, they switched to using text names for the subforums rather than the numbers. The 41ers noticed it first, I think.

They good-naturedly used the term "41" to categorize roadie stereotypes:
