To the corporate dogs.

My login works OK but there are quite a few people having problems getting in there and almost as many jumping ship - which seems to have created a lot of business for other bike forums, who shall be nameless.

Did you not get the Email with the link to take you into the 'new' place?

Had no probs following it up this morning.

.. and still there now. http://www.visordown.com/default.asp?sp=&v=1

I haven't been on VDown for years - never really appealed to me due to the overly high asshole content.

What is annoying though, TWO magazine. My other half buys it and if I'm in the bath I'll have a flick through but every other page is a reference to some thread on VD or some article you can read there - if I wanted to surf the web I'd take my laptop in not magazine! Grrrrrrr ..... sorry, rant over

Avoid TWO usually, havent been to VD since the takeover, bar a couple of follow thrus to links.

Is Silentmemory still there?

Interesting to hear views on TWO.

It was a mag I avoided in the past as I really didn't rate it.
Got 2 copies for the price of 1 at the NEC show and was surprised that I thought they were quite good. Even considered buying it more often!

Now I'm wondering whether I'm missing something .....

Oooh...... so tempting.

But I will resist

Occasionally, although his ascerbic wit isn't so evident these days as he gave up banging his head against the wall of dross -especially since TW@ took over. It's now more of a clone of the MCN forum.

That's also why a lot of (us) long-termers have ditched the place for pastures new.

I really dislike TWO - everything about it!

I'd rather buy MCN!

Wow...TWO must be bad if you would rather buy MCN. I did not think anything could beat the 'artists impression'

I got the email - which is well wierd as I never posted more than once - then read some of the 'foul and abusive' and decided it wasn't for me, luckily I was guided to Ridersite by 'someone' via the Raptor section on the old MCN website - such a long time ago

I read it everyday, but never post. I find with 30,000+ retarded members one of them usually has the same retarded opinion as me, thus saving typing effort.

I do buy stuff though, as the sellers arent out generally to make unreasonable money ala ebay.
