Biking friends that I actually know IRL and I don't talk about bikes all the time. I don't see why it should be any different with my imaginary friends here on RM.
Why is Ridemonkey going to disappear?

We are real, you are the one imagined.
Yup. Riding is fun. Talking about bikes is generally pretty boring.
Use of IRL = no friends IRL
I agree. I like to see what other people ride, or where they choose to do it, but I don't talk about motorcycles or trucks on those sites, either.

I do to have friends."Im good enough, Im smart enough, and dog-gone it, people like me."
Well majority of those questions are allready covered, usually multiple times and RM has quite good search function.
Besides 90% of those questions could be avoided with simple reading of the user manual or short visit of the local bike mechanic.
Well next time you feel that way answer the unanswered questions in geek sections of RM first
I don't know why I don't keep coming back. I only like a fraction of you.
The Lounge to me is like a diversion, where all the assholes have a common bond & that common bond is mountain bikes.

fvck.
I know that the regular users of RM are knowledgeable and experienced riders, and I like discussing my non-bike related issues with them since our lives revolve around biking.
And I rarely have any bike-related questions or issues which I need to discuss in forums, which I also suspect is the same for most of posters here.
However, in order to continue attracting new and semi-frequent users to RM, we should try to focus on more bike related information.
Possibly this site is best as a bike-culture forum than a "Which bike should I get?" forum.

My last MTB ride was Oct 12.
Screw you all.
Screw you all.
Mine was earlier than that.......
It's sooo much easier to create an account at some random forum and create a new thread (consisting solely of capital letters and exclamation points) for each question you have.
Ride, or useful post?
Those forums bore me & make me want to vomit.
If someone (thinking Peach) asks for advice on trails in Moab or something like that, the Lounge is a great resource. I have found tons of great trails either by meeting local monkee's or having someone point me in the right direction.
Isn't this section where we shoot the **** anyway?
Personally, I dont know of any better place on the entire internetz to both insult and be insulted by everyone.
RM has its own personality, as anyone who has ever visited MTBR or (god forbid) bikeforums can attest. All forums dont need to be the same thing. RM slowly evolved into what it is, and I think all its valued members have contributed to that happening.
Why change it? I hate newbs.

YOu friggin jew.....
MMike is a Missy Giove fan boi.
I'm a fan boi of the District Attorney!! He's dreamy.......
I'm not ashamed to say that I like the lounge and most of the threads, I like being able to check in once a day for an an hour or so and shoot the ****. All these things that people bitch about is what keeps the lounge alive - biking is one thing we have in common, not the sole thing.
Mine ended about 20 min ago. It was fun.
I think the bike forums are pretty good. I check in every now and again when I'm not surfing Pinkbike to check out what is going on in the DJ and DH forums.
I once did it for two hours before my arm...

In all the seriousness I can muster, The Lounge to me is what it'd be like if we all
1. Actually knew each other
2. Actually liked each other
3. Actually rode bikes together
4. Actually all got together post ride to drink
that the Lounge is what a lot of the conversations would be like.
Hey, it's my e-world..
