What happens on cycle chat.....

[Night Train]

It would be a bit tricky for me to hide my cyclechat life from my other half, since he's on here too!

Not that I have anything to hide, or wish to have.

Likewise I have nothing to hide from Arch on CC. However, I can't imagine how many years it would take me to read through all Arch's posts to find anything 'incriminating', or whether just reading I'd ever gain on her posting rate. Then there are all the other forums she is on!

I have, only once, deleted all my posts from a forum prior to leaving it. But that was to remove all my helpful input from a forum that had become bitchy and nasty. I had a second anonymous log in and found that it was a personal thing towards me.

I just don't have the time to be naughty ... ... (not that I would <in case the wife's reading!>)

 

[jugglingphil]

Don't think my wife is interested in anything I post on here.
And before anyone else says it, no-one else is interested either

Why do you think most of us don't use our real name on here?

I was speaking to a friend who's hubby is very keen on road cycling and told her he needs to get on C.C. as its great.... afterwards I was wondering if I'd made a mistake as the friend in question does speak to my wife .... am I right in thinking that "What happens on Cycle Chat stays on Cycle Chat" otherwise I might post something incriminating that is later used in evidence by Mrs Viking!

Of course rule 1 "never talk about fight club CycleChat"

CycleChat?
...never heard of it.

So will we, one day, find out that Cycle Chat was all just a figment of Shaun's imagination?

one forum i was a member on, the owner of the forum sold out to canadians who changed the T&Cs without telling members. made it difficult to delete posts older than 30 days. it got a bit nasty after that.

I couldn't actually delete posts but I could edit them. I just went through thousands of posts and replaced all the text with a full stop. I started at the first post and worked my way through, hundreds a night, until I was within months of my last post and then cleared it all in one sitting. I hadn't posted for a few weeks anyway and it took a while before anyone noticed the missing posts.

We trust Shaun, don't we?

Oh yes. I've met him and everything. No one who likes cake and icecream that much could be a wrong 'un.

Where do you hide it then?

 

[Night Train]

Where do you hide it then?

Well, there's the two model railway forums, two electric car forums, a Land Rover forum, a kitcar forum, a reverse trike forum, a tractor forum, a lawn mower forum, an MG forum, a motorbike trike forum, two MR2 forums, a VW forum, the human power forum, the AEES forum, a woodworkers forum, and Twitter.

On a slightly more cautious note...
It's all too easy to forget that this is a public place.
I've posted things before that have come back to bite me, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I've not met Shaun, but he's on the list...
