If anyone is in it for āinvestmentā they may well be disappointed.
The crowd who the bikes appeal too are aging rapidly and will soon lose interest.
Hair , marbles , the will , all of the above?It's not the only thing they're losing..
So how to turn that round? Not the sales but the old standards. For sure I'm guilty of the new standards. Sometimes people write things that make me laugh out loud , so I respond with a smiley face or a thumbs up type thing. In the olden days of the late 2000's on this site did we not have smileys ? ( I can't remember because I'm retro) Maybe non smilies would be a better place for the siteThis is far more a sales platform than a build site these days. Comments are drying up due to the ālikeā button. Previously members would join the conversation and be part of the thread.
Lots of new members donāt respect the old standards of etiquette and decency.
There always was some of that but it seems we have pockets that think if you warn or are making a joke it means carte blanche.
Just my view that Iām entitled to. And Iām being polite.
Edit: 21 of 35 threads on page one are sales or links to sales at present. There are 3 build threads.
I'm worried my eldest is going to blow his Student Loan on that GT Xizang he's seen on eBay"Dad, can you lend me Ā£400 to buy a Deer Head rear mech?"
