Title: Welcome!
Post by: Slim on January 28, 2022, 03:32:41 PM
Welcome to Between The Wheels. I've just set this up today, didn't take as long as I thought it would. I will continue to use T-N-M-S in the usual way, but will post here as well for testing and familiarity. I'm sure there will be a few wrinkles to iron out.

I'll be looking to see if I can install some themes and tart it up a bit, as well. It's very basic at the moment but it should work. You're welcome to sign up and start posting any time.

nice one!  Great that it has a t-n-m-s feel to it.  Gives a sense of continuity

Yes I agree, I assume a few subsections may be added over time.

Thanks! I'm going to fiddle with themes later. Unsure if it'll be possible to have users choose their own theme. Personally I think a darker theme would be better.

Hello all, while I have been inactive on TNMS for some time I thought I'd pop over! Might even give me a kick up the arse to get the bike out...

Hi all.

Reg here.

Thanks to those involved for getting something up and running where I can at least keep in touch with people even if I would rather talk about coffee and films rather than bikes.

I haven't ridden a bike in about 20 years, so not sure how much I'll contribute here. But this has a nice TNMS vibe about it (love the logo!), so hoping some other threads may appear that appeal. Thanks for setting this up James :)

Could we have a music section as a first step to branching out?
Thanks

Helloooooooo, HelloOOOOO, HELLOOOOOOOOO!!!

First of all, thanks you James for ensuring the old TNMS bunch didn't wind up homeless - I wasn't looking forward to an inevitable feeling of emptiness once our old, familiar home - or more accurately public house, I suppose - closed its doors for good.

Great to see many of the Usual Suspects here - which leads me perfectly on to a request for a dedicated Film forum; that's probably the place I enjoy(ed) posting my (re)views and reading those of others the most.

Thanks again! :)

Afternoon all...I'll not be moderating anything, far too thin skinned and sensitive for all that malarkey  ;)

Well - I want to maintain a degree of humility about that, because no-one has appointed me to be the guardian of the Ghost of TNMS. From my point of view I'm just happy to be able to keep in touch with people without using the Facebook group. However people can of course have what they want, so I'll sort out a TV / Film forum later today or tomorrow.

Thanks for setting this up James. I don't know how often I'll post but like others have said, it's nice to have some sort of continuity after TNMS.  :D

And that's why I'm here.

Bassassin on the old TNMS, now reincarnated as a classic Mesoamerican fertility deity, for reasons I'm unclear about.

Thanks Slim for creating this, and it's good to see so many familiar faces!

I'm a bit OCD about empty avatar pics so I've harvested a few from the Wayback Machine, where a few threads from TNMS have been preserved for posterity. Hope no-one minds, but just remove them if you do, or upload a new one :)

Question: is there a way to donate, or a need for that matter?
I am assuming this setup of the forum was not free? I'd be happy to contribute.

That's very thoughtful of you, but I was already leasing the server that the BTW site runs on and I did the site installation and setup myself so the financial cost to myself is very slight. No need to contribute but I do really appreciate the thought.
