It has been a while since i saw that, and its so accurate. But you are missing the fact that there must be at least 3 threads a week about a rant. On a side note, where are a bunch of the old members?

Speaking of Munky, where the hell did he go? Last thing I remember was him posting about a homemade projector and his bacholer pad.

Typically if they aren't moderators than most of them have either left or simply lurk and post in the intelligent discussions.

Either Skunkworks is gone or just hiding out under another name, I haven't seen anything from him since the new site came up. RMRs still here, he just stays out of the more juvenile forums and can be found in the XC, AM and Mechanics forums. Oldfart retired, I believe the same of Dick Cambell.

Good stuff. Ya, pinkbike pretty much kept me from being bored while I was in college. Those threads are pure gold for the most part.
