UKRM snagged for web feeds.

Talking about this last night. Various web pages include UKRM as part
of their bike forums section. [1] So how many lurkers read UKRM this
way? If you do, why? please try and post any replies at the bottom and
not make a mess...

[1] usedcarmart, autoandcar, motorcyclekb, motorbikebanter and so on
and so on. All with adverts, making money out of our witterings. This
disturbs me somewhat. It used to be someone had to have a bit of know
how, enough to set up a usenet account, now anyone with a browser can
access it, doesn't seem right somehow.

 

I'm not really bothered how anyone 'finds' ukrm, it's not a private
place, but when people stumble on it then they need to lurk for a
while before posting so that they can get an idea of what goes on here
rather than crying if they get a bit of hammer once in a while.

I was a regular poster on other newsgroups for quite a while before I
subscribed to ukrm and then I lurked for a couple of months before
posting so I had a bit of an idea what I was letting myself in for.

This was in the days when it was even more 'robust' than it is now but
the fact that a lot of people organised meets on a regular basis meant
that if you had a bike and wanted to turn up it was easy.

 

ITYM "I liked them before they were famous", etc.
