I am seeking an invitation to web group https://cyclingtorrents.nl/login.php I understand how the sharing works as I belong to a similar site for motorsports. Any consideration for membership would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Kedosto

Kedosto, perhaps my wording is confusing. I didn't mean to imply this site was part of Bike Forums. I have seen the site mentioned here in Bike Forums so assumed it was safe to mention it in the group?

Currently the site the site is closed to open registration and an invite from an existing member is required to join. Apologies, it this sounded a bit confusing.

Cheers!

Njkayaker,

here is the link to said site. https://cyclingtorrents.nl/login.php. Again, mentioned in the forum group. Very sorry for any confusion

njkayaker

Criminy.

Update your original post.

It's a torrent site. It's not clear it's legal.

If it's mentioned, you can provide a link to where it's mentioned.

It's a bit weird that this is your first post in 10 years.

zap427

Advice taken, sometimes the forrest gets in the way of the trees.

Thank you

zap427

amongst this search string it is mentioned. https://www.bikeforums.net/search.php?searchid=13872849

Njkayaker,

would you consider modifying your post calling it SPAM unless, that is what it is? You are a senior member, I would guess many would ignore the post altogether with you tagging it as SPAM. I apologize for the confusion and corrected the original request. Are we "good" here?

zap427

I am not sure why the date on my last post is relevant in this discussion. I do understand sites are under constant attacks from Spammers and the like. I can assure you, I am not one. As far as legality, as I stated, the site is mentioned in previous posts on this site, which gave the indication it was fair game to talk about. If you are a moderator and tell me I have broken a forum group rule, I will retract the whole post immediately. Please, I am asking an innocent question, which could have been worded more clearly, nothing more.

njkayaker

I deleted that post (I think I deleted it before you made this post). "Senior member" doesn't mean anything, by the way.

Correcting the post helps you.​​​​
​​​
Somebody rising from 10 years in the past to ask questions about an invalid/dead "torrent" site is very odd.

More than one of the posts you linked to obscured the reference. They would not have done that if they thought the site wasn't sketchy. Anyway, mentioning something doesn't really pertain to the legality of that something.

(I'm not sure why you didn't ask in the subforum where this was mentioned.)

No doubt.

njkayaker,

If I knew the site was "dead" I would have never posted the question. The most important thing I have learned is the site is DEAD, which seemingly could have been answered after I cleared up my poorly worded question, which I acknowledged and apologized for at least twice.

I had no idea of a "sub forum" where the question would have been received better?

"More than one of the posts you linked to obscured the reference. They would not have done that if they thought the site wasn't sketchy. Anyway, mentioning something doesn't really pertain to the legality of that something." I am sorry but I have no idea of what you are trying to say here.

It is good to know Senior member means very little, puts this whole discourse in perspective to me, thank you.

So can I take your response as the mention site is DEAD? If so, thank you (for at least the third time).

Obscure site was rectified, was it not?

I posted a not well thought out question about a site mentioned on this site as a source to watching a sport I think we all love. My apologies have reached their limit to you. If you knew the answer to the question (after my poor start) why not simply say, that site is old and no longer works. Would have saved a bunch of time and back and forth no?

What in the wide, wide world of sport is goin’ on here?

For one thing, why is someone seeking access to a site that no longer works? One would think one would check out the site first.

zap427

Because the someone asking the question was not aware the site no longer worked. Someone did check it out and the admission page makes no reference to the site being closed only needing an invite to participate. So, someone asks the forum group about joining. The simple response would have been, "sorry mate, that site is dead and has been dead, where you been lol"

Does that help solve the mystery?

Oh yeah, **** you, Kid Rock!

njkayaker

If the site was live, it wouldn't have looked suspicious.

Maybe, the subforums where it was mentioned?

People (like yourself) who believe the sites they are talking about are legitimate reference the site directly (like you did). Some of the posts you linked to (but didn't really look at, apparently) don't mention the site directly. They obscure or obliquely reference the site. The only reason anybody would do that is for sites they see as sketchy.

Your being sloppy and careless about a dead/sketchy site isn't my problem.

You are confused about your own posts.

There were two separate sites: the dead one in your original post that you corrected and the sketchy site that (apparently) needs an invite. The second site is live (apparently).

njkayaker

He just originally posted the wrong link (that was dead). That it was his first post in 10 years, sort of vague, about a torrent site, and a dead one had an off odor.

Unfortunately, the correct site seems kind of sketchy (he didn't realize that but also didn't look that closely at it).

He's also confused about the completely wrong (and dead site) and the correct one he was interested in.

zap427

Sir, with all due respect, you are absolutely correct about me and my bad intentions to soil and tarnish this site. Please place my scalp with the others that have attempted to tarnish this site. Thankfully, you are there to set the world straight. I beg your forgiveness. Something tells me that is not what you expected. Ask me again about not commenting here in 10 years. All the best to you Mr kayaker, there is a saying that comes to mind, "Big fish, small pond" not my pond, big fish, lol.

njkayaker

You could have (should have) stopped at post 8. But you asked why your long gap in posting was relevant to why your original (now corrected) post looked spammy and I explained why. Then, you went all weird about it being my problem.

zap427

One last bit; if this site is moderated, I request the moderator look at the dialog and come to a conclusion. Fellows, if this is how innocent questioned are received and ramped up into something never intended, this site has serious problems. But, you big fish keep swimming.

zap427

I asked because you posed the question Einstein. Time between posts should have NO relevance to a simple question that apparently you knew the answer to. Why not simply answer the question instead of being a d_ck? I think I know the answer, so skip it.

zap427

if you had nothing relevant to add, you should have stopped at post one. Jesus, do you have any idea how arrogant that sounds.

indyfabz

I’m glad this site IS monitored.

zap427

"an off odor" are you kidding me. The correct site "seems kind of sketchy" really, says who, you Sherlock. Not confused genius, asking a question that either you knew the answer to or did not. You are correct I mistyped the site address, which gave you, apparently, your first clue on my cloak and dagger operation. You know what, forgive and forget. I am willing to forgive and forget and give each party the benefit of the doubt, are you?

Homebrew01

That site is not "dead".
Ok. That's enough on this topic.
