Hi, I'm Helga šŸ‘‹

I’d be sorry to see you go as well. We all got to do what we think is best for ourselves.

When the decision was announced to close the forum to The Company Only posts, I was on the brink myself. However, this reversal of position has brought me back.

Fwiw, @Helga Dame Helga’s stated approach was not unlike that of Sir David in the before times on Facebook and continued when SUF started this forum. Heated discourse was fine. Encouraged even. But being disrespectful, insulting, racist, sexist, misogynistic etc could result in immediate banishment.

Now that The Company appears to be making an honest effort at engaging with the community, hearing our feedback on a closed forum and incorporating at least some of our feedback on the re-remastersā„¢ I am personally feeling a lot less deflated.

Congratulations on your new assignment, Dame Helga.

Have you Suffered today? Seeing this message, spoken with a healthy dosage of proper SUF terms, brought my bleeding eyes back. GVA waxed lyrical at the Nine Hammers Tavern, he was THAT excited. I hope we can all contribute to helping Wahoo and SUF keep growing.

I hope your Suffering is glorious!

More than you,

Sir Renzo

Dame @Helga , again, as stated above, welcome and thank you for this breath of fresh air. With that being said, I might as well make you aware so as not to catch you off guard….

I am not at all a fan of the lg’s or the lg COA at all. At the end of a Sufferfest workout, I turn the volume down and put my head down just so I don’t have to hear that toy gun laser sound or look at it. -During- the workout G.O.A.T the lg’s are fine….except at the end….but not anywhere else.

Anyhow, again, welcome!

Firstly, got to say Oh my GvA the forum is back and thank you Dame @Helga from opening up the forum once again. There’s No Place Like Home. By the way, have you suffered today?

Errrmm no… I am a Sufferlandrian and have never once embraced the Wahooligan thing. It just didn’t sit well with me although hooliganism isn’t something in SEA, but the connotation is rather similar to organised crime as a whole.

To be honest, it started off pretty badly until you stepped in… I think in anycase moving forwards, rather than implementing a change right away, like ā€˜Bamm! In your faceā€˜ perhaps solicit feedback from the community first to gauge the sentiments.

Anyway, thank you for addressing the fiasco quickly enough before most of us banish this forum and wishing you all the best.

More than you!

For HONOUR, GLORY, VICTORY

I would really like to see the original COA at the end being restored rather sooner than later as well. The (re)remastering seems to be the perfect opportunity to replace the ending :blush:

Dame @Helga

have you suffered today?

I really need to apologize, but in my first post in this thread,

immediately after you introduced yourself, I had this horrible mishap. It’s hard to talk about it, so un-knightly really, but I forgot - I’m still horrified just by thinking about it - I really forgot to recognize that you’re a Knight of Sufferlandria, our glorious, mythical nation. GvA was not pleased when he found out. I just returned from flogging station 17b, the worst of them all. I survived to let all residents of our castle know: don’t do as I did, it was even more uncomfortable than anything else that GvA has ever put on me, Fluffy, Laser Goats, even the stupid hamster. I know the uncomfortable have nothing to fear, but it was close.

I promise IWBMATTKYT

HONOUR, GLORY, VICTORY

Don’t you mean…stupid laser goats? The hamster is cool!:smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

On another note, I failed in recognizing Helga as ā€œDameā€ Helga in my initial welcoming comment as well and GvA only sent me flogging station 17. You must really be on his bad side….What Did You Do? Comfortable in your fear?

believe me, the hamster :hamster: isn’t quite so cool if you’re not much of a sprinter

Gotcha. A sprinter I’m not as well.

SUF thinks I’m a sprinter based on my numbers, but if anybody has actually seen me run or ride they would know I’m definitely not a sprinter.

Just like I always come up as a Pursuiter because I can Climb out of saddle decently compared to FTP….once per ride.

Since this announcement from Dame @Helga I have been thinking long and hard about whether or not to resubscribe. I am encouraged by the change of heart on the forum, that wahoo are now listening. I still think there is work to do to get some of the workouts back on par with their former standard, and hope that will be done, given the extensive feedback that has been provided.

I’ve been using zwift of late and whilst the racing is fun, the rest is a bit dull and I’m not convinced by their training plan offerings.

All that considered I have decided to resubscribe and give it another chance, after all you can never leave! SUF day is in the diary, bring the agony.

I hope to see continued improvement.

More than you.
