New Moderators

uberwolf

Forming the team, I'd like to say thanks to el tonto, Captain Havoc, Gavin and Beasty who have been persuaded by the glamour and promise of an extra .1W/KG.

There are a few more moves to be confirmed shortly, but I wanted to get it started.

Of course, they all have lovely bottoms.

Can one of the new overlords confirm or deny that any mention of leg hair is now deemed a bannable offence.;)

Well done folks.

I think one of the ideas when appointing the new mods was to add some variety - I am the nominal "Fred" and black socks and hairy legs are definitely now allowed

Unless I'm mistaken, 3/4 of the new mods have hairy legs.

How was this allowed to happen?

I'm heading over to Havoc's workplace with a razor, right now.

Thanks all. Although I'm not sure if you'd be congratulating us all if you saw how long it takes to read the mod manual. Already I'm wondering what I've gotten myself into.;)

Any further questions about the new moderating regime ought to be answered by this short, instructional video:

You actually read that?

Gavin

There's a manual !?!

ROK ON

I for one welcome our new insect overlords.

Good to see someone from outside the pale to look after us country brothers.
Good to see an auld fella to look aftet the interests of curmudgeonly middleaged blokes.
Good to see that fake tan and leg shaving will now be taken seriously.
Good (I think) that the truffle hunters get some more representation.

Best of luck. May your reign be interesting and full of surprise.

Captain Havoc

Captain Havocs list of new banning offences.

1. Not protecting a Mod at any race, sportive, spin or commute. Mods are not expected to be at the front of a pack unless it is for photo opportunites.
2. Talking about shaving and/or waxing products, there's a ladies lounge for that sort of thing.
3. Not sharing your cake with a Mod.
4. I've just been told I can't do number four as there'd be nobody left here to post, so I guess all Planet-X owners are safe for now.
5. Mentioning the word which must not be mentioned.
6. Anyone serving a doping ban will also be banned from the forum until their doping ban is up.
7. Taking the name of Cipollini or Voigt in vain.
8. Wearing black socks, due to the number of instances he's been found guilty of, Lance Armstrong is permabanned.

YOU WILL RESPECT OUR AUTHORITAH!!!!!!

Russman

Best wishes to the new mods, hopefully your reign will be a long and peaceful one

Doctor Bob

By a happy coincidence, not only are these lads the soundest Boardsies, they're also the best looking. Great choices all round.

What's that? I've got something on my nose? What colour is it?

Thanks for all the good wishes guys - Now I've got to find time to polish the banstick, as well as bikes ....

I'm looking at buying a new bike and haven't cycled in 20 years. Any advice?

Well done on your new roles fellas, nice and democratic I see

Thanks for all the hard work Lumen - it's been greatly appreciated

Hopefully you will still be illuminating our little world with your thoughts, insights and advice

Now guys, who's going to be the first one to infract him:D

Chips Lovell

Many thanks Lumen for all the work you've put into the forum.

niceonetom

All hail the new regime! Let the purges commence (I know photshop btw).

And thanks to Lumen for his work in the past. Hopefully you'll manage to maintain your wry wit now that you're little people just like the rest of us.

DirkVoodoo

He's one of us now, when he tries to teach someone manners, his powerless self will get his ass kicked. I feel as sad as when I first saw this:

EDIT: As for the new guys, I'm reminded of this, because it's on TV now and it's hilarious:

Now we can discuss compacts with 27s on the back properly without fear of bannings

Not just yet, it'd be like flaunting a new girlfriend in front of one you chucked the day before.

It may be fun but it just ain't cool.

Bye Lumen

The powers that be identified a couple of cohorts from the Balrothery area who frequent the cycling forum and need "special" supervision to try and keep them on the straight and narrow.

The message came on a self destructing tape ... "your mission, should you choose to accept it ....."

Mission bleedin' Impossible, that's what I call it ...
