It's gone with the new site AFAIK. Sometimes it was a free for all. :fight:

It's gone with the new site AFAIK. Sometimes it was a free for all. :fight:It was there this weekend even with the new formatted site.
Yes it was a free for all controlled by no one. It was like a train wreck I just couldn't stop watching. Was good when it was just TECH TALK but the few turned it into a political forum. :argue:

Thanks to VeloNews Editor at Large Patrick O'Grady for this RSS Feed today which gives some insight into what happened:

"The rest of my day was devoted to keeping an eye on the VeloNews.com beta site, which remains very much a work in progress. Without warning, the old site vanished overnight like the proverbial Cheshire cat, taking the readers’ forums along with it and leaving no grins behind."

I enjoy O'Grady's curmudgeonly attitude which keeps the right wingers shuddering behind their blankets. I may not agree with him all the time, but I agree with how he says it!

From VeloNews:
We should have a new mobile version up and running soon and our ever-popular forum will be back and better within a day or so.
