Hmmm this is true... but surely a large opt-in mailing list is not going far enough to combat the worlds ills... perhaps the Holy-Word-Of-Vorb-Spam-Cannon counter measures need to be deployed.... give Scott Richter a call, I'm sure he could enlighten 100 million people a day or so Big Grin

Mailboxes the world over filling up with...

The magic thing about Vorb is that it is a virtual embodiment of an actual community. Most 'online' communities and social networks exist regardless of the technology.

Although Vorb has long had the critical mass so that anybody in NZ who googles a cycling related topic gets a vorb link on the first page, it was a very much a functioning community long before that.

Folks who spend a ferrit stuffed full of cash and just expect a userbase to come along always (I hope) get their just desserts.

The fact that the Cycling community is a little tough to package up and sell to the man has its good and bad points. I think that Vorb has progressed at just the right pace to be something pretty unique in online communities.

Cheers to Tama!

Tama, what You've done for mountain biking on the web in my opinion is the best thing since oil dampened suspension. Double Thumbs Up

It's certainly gotten more hands oily, allowed as many people to bounce up and down.

Sucks up lots of money, needs regular maintenance, and will be out of date inside two years?


*edit*


Oli, I seriously question your idea of 'sexy'.

Oh, I thought it was just a symptom of your obsessive-compulsive disorder.
