Forums Live!

October 25th, 2008

One of the most requested features on velospace over the years has been for an open bike discussion forum. Adding an open forum for velospace users to connect makes a lot of sense, but I resisted the idea for a long time because I know how much time moderating a forum can suck up. I’ve managed to streamline velospace moderation using different tools like community feedback, automated checks, and some good old elbow grease.

At this point adding forums to the mix makes sense: the velospace community is large enough to sustain a vibrant discussion forum and any moderation of the forums can fit into the existing structure that the rest of the site uses.

So without further-ado, I introduce the velospace bicycle discussion forums!
