There's only 3 admin's over there that can activate accounts, so they might be a bit swamped. I'll forward this over to them for ya, what account are you looking to activate?
i have the exact same problem and have been waiting since march!Anybody have an account on BS? Ive tried 3 times to register and nobody has activated either of them. Also I have'nt gotten any feedback from the Admins, any body have bad luck? What can I do? Thanks.
Are you still having trouble? If so, email me your username at joe@bustedspoke.com and I'll take care of you. Sorry for the delay.
Joe
Edit - offsprung, email me also and I will get you activated.

I am one of the admins too. Just to give you an explanation on whats going on, we were getting killed with spambots on the site so we shut down the automatic registration/activation. So for months we did try and sift through the 100's of new accounts we still got, but things definately slipped through the cracks.
Joe did come up with a new procedute that seems to be working out well.
I also would like to apologize for the problems you have been having. feel free to email me at matt@bustedspoke.com if anything comes up in the future. ( guessing Joe has gotten you sorted out with getting your account activated)

I am just curious which one of us admins over there responded with "what"?
You could go to Kid On Bike...we're all grownups who act like really young teens with lots of potty humor and sweet bikes
We're evrything Bustedspoke isn't...not because we try, but because they think we're high....Seriously, BS has enough smart folk reading posts to offer out some great info and lots of good riding pals...yeah, there is a lot of teeny BS there (No pun intended) but you can just skim over it.
And which of you is the teenage dirtjumper?
I guess I also better stick to the 'too old and lame to leave the ground' site huh?
I'm sorry you get that impression, because that couldn't be further from the truth.
Who was your admin correspondent from the site? Feel free to PM me.
I really don't get here too much, so it'd be better to contact me through BustedSpoke & I'd be happy to help anyone out to the best of my ability. Like AE & Joe... I too would like to know who woodsguy received the message saying, "what?" from. doesn't sound like any off us.
I wouldn't worry too much about it - some people's MO is just to toss a ****grenade then bail.
Waste your time? We're the ones that sort through emails to activate people, and sadly, yes, sometimes some slip through (the activation procedure has since changed to avoid this occurance)
Your story seems to be missing a lot of key points that were asked about in this thread. You can continue to bash the site like a child, or you can send one of the mods (who have all posted in this thread) a PM telling them specifically what happened. If you think we intentionally ignored you/mistreated you.......I feel bad for you.

Instead of making assumptions, why not ask the only person who started a thread here if his issue had been resolved.
To make things clear for you, neither myself, Joe or Timebomb would have gone through the effort of posting a response if we were not trying to help.
You seem pretty pissed off for a guy who had some difficulty registering for a site you now advise people against doing. Is there some other issue you have with us? If so, shoot me an email or PM and I will certainly do my best to explain or resolve it. I apologize for the difficulty you had registering. If you would like to try again, email me your user name at matt@bustedspoke.com and I will take care of getting your account activated.
You are certainly entitled to your opinion about the site, but before you decide who we are, maybe you should actually know some of us before you go attaching a label. I am neither a teenager, a dirtjumper or have any bikes my parents bought for me. I also dont really care what age people are, who kind of riding they do or who purchased their bike for them. If they are good people, they are good people. The other stuff is irrelevant.
woodsguy is the smartest and rightest guy on the nemba forums...just ask him.
signed the worlds oldest and worst teenage dirtjumper
frigging know it all

More like this about a guy who is always quick to put down people he knows nothing about. Staying true to form in this thread I see. Congrats on not having many bikes, that's quite relevant.
Don't worry about it, I'm just a stupid teenage dirtjumper that can't read a sign or count numbers anyway (except for all the bikes my mommy gets for me course.)
Again you are making assumptions. I personally know a great many people on the site...who are active posters. I have rode with a great number of those people, socialized with them, done some trail work with them. I can say with 100% certainty the forum is not mainly teenage dirt jumpers. Even if that was the case, what does it matter? Because they ride a different bike than you, ride different trails or they have a different haircut or wears girls pants? Pretty judgemental to presume they are in a "different world" based on outward appearences. Its may very well be a case where they feel like they have a community where they feel accpeted enough to share things about themselves, including pics of their new bikes, parts etc. I am proud to be involved with something that makes the future of the sport feel welcome.
The more I read your posts, the more glad I am that things got screwed up and we didn't activate you.
Well as a 37 year old homeowner, I take offense to woodman's post that "we're a bunch of teenage dirtjumpers."
True, I can jump dirt. Also true, the jumps tend to kick my ass.
I've beena member there for about four or five years now and have made some great lifelong friends. The "what" response you got doesnt' sound like the three guys who've posted here at all! You may have sent it to a mod or admin who doesn't have the ability to activate or the wherewithall to send the info along to the proper people.
Please don't generalize a group of people..it's called PREJUDICE

That was the sweetest thing anyone has ever said about me/us.
:
It's true though, we aren't bad guys by any stretch of the imagination. I think woodsguy was so stuck in his narrow minded sense of judgment that nothing we say or do will matter......but at least we can say we tried.

The few times I've dealt with Auntesther, he's been a real prick. I mean just a real jerk. In fact, they all seem to be. Don't bother signing up.

Good enough for me. Looks like this thread is resolved and there is no need for any of us to waste anymore time on the subject. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you, and at the same time I'm happy it didn't get made into a big(ger) mess. If you ever change your mind just hit one of us up with an e-mail and we'll be sure to take care of you.
~ Cheers, T.B.
Am I the only one who can't get on BS today?
Site's down.
Thanks, I am glad it is not my computer acting up.
Still down . . .

That SUCKS.
Edit: nice, it's back.

BustedSpoke is back up finally. I am now looking at moving the server that the site runs on to a more "customer friendly" hosting company. I am also going to get a second server and load balance the site across the two so that if one of the servers ever goes down, the site won't go down.
By the way, esther, did you get my latest PM about the tshirts? Mine's runnin' haggard, guy!its true.
check your pm's my good manBy the way, esther, did you get my latest PM about the tshirts? Mine's runnin' haggard, guy!
