BMX Chat / Re: Chime in if you still float about in here

Good question. I noticed when I posted my reply, it was showing over 2000 guests on the site.

Yes ans I deal with about 200/300 applications for new acounts a day.  Lots of spammers and bullshido.  I think I do well with keeping them out

Keep up the good work, it’s appreciated. Its a shame some of the genuine guests don’t sign up and post a little, that would help this place out

Black Z mags and all black Comp III’s now fitted. I unearthed some black Formos tech 3 levers, but I’ve had to order some cheap painted steel Lee Chi calipers. They are pretty much what’s on there at the moment, you know the type.  I need to find a seat post, freewheel and some black cable outers that I know I have. I’m going for the stealthy look I guess.

Yes it was.  Black Pads.  I remember burning my fingers with Nitomors removing the black of the rims.  Such a shame I snapped the frame

It was stronger stuff back then 

The paint stripper though, not the frames apparently

Just a quick question..... Is the number of guest users,usually between 1000 and 2500,an accurate one?

Good to hear from you all. its a shame there isnt an easy solution to the image issue but short of the site holding all the images, which probably requires huge amounts of money to throw at storage, i suspect it will only get worse. If the site no longer remains as a resource of info it would need a serious boost in daily numbers to keep it viable. My brother rigged something up to save all the images around the photoshop nonsense and when the site crashed but it was a temporary measure and im not sure it can be implemented fully
