    Based on a sampling of recent posts, it seems like a whiners forum would be one of the most popular on STR. :?: Well actually, it would be the most popular for some to post in, I'm not sure too many people would actually read the posts though.

    Should George create a forum for people's rants, moans and general malaise posts?
    :)

    Whiners are like bad drivers, they are all over the planet.

    I would read it. Many of the most entertaining threads come from these type of posts. This is something that I would support. ;)

    Great idea! Let's weed them out and put them in their own forum. Even CL has their own section for Rants & Raves.

    Nice rant. :)

    That all ready exists in the big picture. It's called the Internet.

    this thread appears to be neither:

    1. respectful

    nor

    2. constructive

    (per STR Posting Guidelines)

    MODS--could we move this to the Whiners Forum?

    I wasn't whining, it was freekin cold damn it and my butt hurt. It was getting late and I was hungry. Why do you always single me out? Those hills were very steep and there were a lot of lose rocks in the trail and you said it'd be fun. That Camelback was very heavy too and my shoes were very tight but you said my feet would adjust, why do you lie to me? You said it was a 3 mile loop and it was really 4.365 that's a lot more with a climbing both ways and I heard something in the bushes and you guys left me all by myself. I don't think I want to ride with you guys anymore!
    No we don't need a whiners forum, nobody would use it.

    Whining in recent years on this site has turned my posting thoughts elsewhere. I'm still a big fan of STR, and I'm guilty of NBR posting, but I only do it to keep you damn whiners from crying do much. The best rides I have ever done in the past four years have been with STR, and at times i was whining while climbing, so be it we all get sand in our cracks.

    Great idea Cal..

    Great idea, but won't work. Whiners never admit they are whining, so won't go to a whiners forum to post their whines.
