I'll likely put it back to Beginners - it seemed to work better that way.
What might be a more positive use of this thread (in addition to the OP's suggestion) is a consideration of how best to organise and name the cycling-specific forums.
General Cycling is probably a big part of the problem as it covers, well, everything - so it may well help if it is renamed to Beginners again and then anyone wanting technical help might feel Know How is more appropriate.
Do we need a general cycling forum if we have all other aspects covered in the more specifically named forums?
Do we have any gaps where new forums would be useful?
What do you think?
Cheers,
Shaun
there are loads of forums for different types of cycling, i do not see the point of the general cycling forum.
If you wanted to rename it as a different forum, you could call it "none cycling related forum".I think new members/beginners should be encouraged to post in the necessary forums and not be afraid to post anything, at the end of the day, wasnt that the position that we all used to be in
. So any beginners or new members watching this thread, please dont be put put of by the forum title etc, if you are wondering about something then its a guarantee that someone else is aswell. no one knows every thing and you are not the only one learning new things every day!

I reckon this thread belongs on ''Support and Feedback!'' It's got nothing to do with cycling, general, beginners or otherwise....

I do think that the current GC heading is possibly a catch all for those who don't bother to post in the correct forum.
However, Beginners is a nice way of saying "ask in here if you really don't know where to ask"
You're always going to have a) posts that don't fit in anywhere else. & b) people who will post anywhere without thinking.
All you can do in reality is cut down on the amount of posts mods have to move!

You appear to be the only one getting "shirty" on here, at least you do not single out any one victim! You really sound like a lovely person with a great grasp of the English language but no idea on how to write it......that gets me "shirty".
Sorry did I say you sound like a lovely person........
If you're at the back and struggling on a ride i'm on....... Or had a nasty mechanical issue.......you'd change your reply.......many on here know me in person and know i'm a nice bloke.
If that's true, then you should have no problem offering ttcycle an apology for this:
It wasn't really necessary or helpful to the discussion, was it?
What makes you think I'd be at the back on a ride that you are on and I wouldn't ride it if I didn't know how to fix it!
My reply is based on first impressions of how you come across on here......so if you are such a nice bloke then why the front?
