    Newcomers are not welcome to biker.ie. I have tried contacting several times over the year, only to realise the owner of the site just does not want new members—member growth is in single digits annually, and is controlled by the admin. There is no open way to join. I think that that approach is wrong.

    And that is before you stumble on questionable posts, homophobic remarks, or insecure/juvenile jokes which clearly amuse some. Pity, as there is some good and helpful content there, but no way to be a constructive part of it. But also pity for biker.ie as there is also a lot of misinformation there that could have been easily corrected. Shame that a good domain name misleads and wastes.

    You will find a few threads here about it, just scroll a bit down...

    Their circle of jerk is complete. It's just awkward introducing a new set of unfamiliar hands :P
