Is the pinned thread at the top of the forum a running joke?

Why? It looks good and you are the first one to complain in 10 years.

Seriously.

Is "Good Threads, Training Info, Injury Info, Nutrition Info, Other Stuff - CarolinaRunner" an inside joke?

Half the links are 404s/expired. It hasn't been updated since 2005!

Time to remove it or update things?

Once you are initiated into the tribe, there is no leaving except for death which I will happily accept.

That thread is everything that was good about the forum. It reminds me why I still visit this site. You complain about that but not the "trolls" and general idiots.

Next you'll say because I didn't mention the marathon, that I must not like marathoners. I didn't complain about pollution either, but that doesn't mean I support pollution. Get it? You are as bad as the trolls for making this non-sequitor argument.

I complained about the thread having broken links everywhere. If it is a pinned thread with useful info, I shouldn't click "nutrition" info and go to a website that no longer exists!

You ask if this site is a joke. Check out the stories on the front page. They contain the approximate writing level of a mentally handicapped baboon.

Here's a specific example from that thread.

Click the links under "Heat Illness", and see how many are broken for this topic in the thread.

http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=308471

Search for "Heat Illness".

1 link out of 11 links works...

I only asked if that thread was a "running" joke. Nothing else. I enjoy the main page articles for the most part.

No, this site is a joke

Not a joke, but a lot of the links are broken. Despite that, there is a lot of very interesting stuff in there from old pros and coaches that's worth wading through.

J-O-K-E

very good info in there that could change a beginner into a good runner. It'd be nice for a new version, but who is going to take the time to do that.

The infinite monkey theorem?

Yes, I responded to my own post with a different name. What you gonna do about it?

The John Hadd vs Antonio Cabral thread is the one that should be pinned.
