I reckon it would be great to have a moderated cycling forum. That way
you don't get wackos putting crap on this site (cycling forums).
Ski.com.au (no plug intended) is a good example of such a forum with
volunteer moderators.

God, I hate websites as forum devices.

Moderated ones in particular - they completely kill realtime
discussion.

Newsgroups are so much more superior as a device for group discussions
(duh, that's what it was invented for), and killfiles are quite useful
things (remember that fred guy who posted 50 posts? About 5
keystrokes, and he's gone. Forever. Then the 50 repeat posts lastnight
from an AOL account using google? Gone also.)

It also turns out that the Cyclingforums gateway is always the source
of posts that aren't properly formatted, not providing context or
marking text which is a reply as not a reply and vice-versa. Then
there are the mistakes in threading. I get the feeling cyclingforums
in particular could have been much better designed.
