Remember the guy who told Chris Boardman he didn't know anything about time trialing or professional bike racing?ĭevashish_paul wrote:It appears there are around 15 people on that list that over the years have created 10% of the content on this forum (but hard to tell if most of the posts were directed to the 5M on the tri forum as I rarely go to the other forums, so just assuming we are contributing to the 5M.if not, we can say roughly 15 people contributed to 4-5% of the lifetime content). Some of the smartest people in the world in their academic /athletic fields got booted off for being fiery and/or snarky in their replies while some of the best posters left/got driven off by people who wanted to argue from a position of ignorant bliss. That's probably cost us a couple contributors over the years, but I'd rather have people feel like they can take a chance on posting something without someone immediately yelling at them that "this is a topic that has already been posted about, use the search bar.ĭang, tell people for a few years to use the search engine because they asked if they should ride a disc and you never live it down! The search thing isn't that hard to use if you know what you're looking for imo. I think we're certainly more civil than we used to be, in part because we've been slightly more active on asking people to be more polite in their interactions.

I've had some people approach us about "modernizing" the forum's tech stack. There are some "niceties" that I'd like to add in the next couple of years, but mostly I just appreciate how lightweight and fast the architecture is. Nothing really in the server architecture has changed. Really the biggest change we made was to the CSS - to make it adaptive so it works a lot better on mobile. The forum is extremely fast, especially on modern hardware. It was written back when you couldn't make a lot of assumptions about bandwidth or memory. The underlying forum software is essentially unchanged in 20 years. The thing that the forum always makes me appreciate is "old tech." I could pull some numbers on frequency and such if we can come up with a basic list. Care to share?įor people wondering, you can find the total thread / post count by forum at the directory page. It seems things remain on the first page of the forum longer than they used to. I am guessing it took less time to get from 6 million to 7 million than it took to get from 11 million to 12 million. I would love to see how long between each milestone. Eric, Dan, Jordan, myself, and the rest of the ST team appreciates it. That's probably cost us a couple contributors over the years, but I'd rather have people feel like they can take a chance on posting something without someone immediately yelling at them that "this is a topic that has already been posted about, use the search bar." There used to be trial by fire to be a long-term member around here.Īnyways. Thank you to all for your contributions.Ģ.) I think we're certainly more civil than we used to be, in part because we've been slightly more active on asking people to be more polite in their interactions. Something like 12 million across all of our forums. What an advantage digital tech knowledge has made for us in this discipline even when you're in the outback.Rrheisler wrote:1.) Yes, we're over 5 million posts in this forum. Anyway, I could go on and on about what I've learned from Nigel and looking forward to learning more. I use to use overstitch wheels which I may find a use for again. Love learning to use them and practicing with an awl as I relearn to saddle stitch. His U Tube reviews sorted that out for me. I was beginning to get wrapped around the axle trying to decide what make of picking irons I wanted. Been practicing with both as Nigel demonstrates. maple wood creaser like Nigel uses in the cold crease demo I purchase after watching Nigel's Vimeo tutorial and even found I've had a tool for a very long time that I didn't know what it was used for and now realize it s a creaser that can be used for hot creasing. I have been practicing cold creasing with a C.S. I've been filling in with tools I know I will and am using. They have some really reasonable prices on perfectly good seconds. The 3 measuring tools I found at Taytools on eBay. I also bought some wallpaper liner to do templates with. I have a 12" and 24" bevelled straight edges like his and also a 8x12" engineer's square.
