Biker.ie must be the worst site I've come across. Mods won't reply, impossible to view most of the forums, and full of of smart arses. Has anyone used it?

Swings and roundabouts guys.
Every internet forum has its characters.
Even boards does.

I just enjoy them all.

Multistrada becomes minimoto as I just found out yesterday! A few years ago they banned or buswalds all cork members for being langers. It used to be mildly amusing but just seems childish and petty now. It's a pity because the workshop section can be very useful and some members still put up good pics of their bike trips etc, but it's definitely on the decline.

Dead in the water . admin thinks he is a comedian and posts pathetic "witty" passages and all his little minions tell him how funny and wonderful he is . they probably all drive cars most of the time but call them cages and they say everything and everybody is gay . mentality of schoolboys around 9 years of age

Websites, apps and forums in particular come and go. I haven't used Facebook since 2010, I gave up on boards.ie ten years ago and I stopped using biker.ie six months ago. I don't regret much from the last twenty years, but I probably should have spent more time on my bike and less time on the internet.

There's no denying that biker.ie had its high points and provided technical support, moral support and charitable fundraising for thousands of people down the years. I made friends and lost them, some to bike accidents and some to other causes, I made enemies but mostly with keyboard warriors who disagreed with my opinions (bite me). It was the best place to find out about ride-outs, I bought and sold bikes to members with no hassles, I had guys bring bikes to my house to help with repairs and I had guys check bikes for me on the far side of the country to save me wasting time going myself to look at 'mint' sh*theaps off Donedeal.

Having been very active on lots of bike forums, its clear that any forum is only as good as its members and its moderation. Some sites require a subscription to join, some are funded through advertising, some are free - how they are funded rarely affects how good they are. I gave boards, biker and loads of other sites my time and I had good fun and got value from them but I've decided to spend more time on my shed these days.

Stay safe and be kind to each other, push the keyboard away from time to time and go clean your wheels.

ah so now we know where people went when they were send to buswalds.....they came here

Been here for a long time, just not posting. Pretty much like B****.ie Difference here though mods/admin don't throw toys out the cot when you disagree with their pov (in a civil manner), delete your posts and send you down. 5 year olds on capri sun are more restrained.
