The last version of this thread disappeared. Not sure why. Anyway, this message board will suck 30% off my battery life in 20 - 30 minutes of usage. Anything can be done about this letsrun.com? Thanks!

Yep. You can avoid the site and save your battery.
Helped you in two ways.
You're lucky you aren't on a desktop. Another couple ads and I won't even be able to read any posts. Already have to hit reply because ads cover 30% of the content.

How 'bout an ad blocker?
One of the current ads behaves badly. Sometimes with just one tab open on this forum my laptop fans start spinning wildly.
Stop coming to this website then?

That’s no solution! This place is fun. That said, I have been coming less lately, simply because I don’t feel like having to recharge my phone directly after.

Your ads from the ad network are based on your browsing history. Nobody else here experiences this because we don't Google how things like if you can still import Russian brides during covid. Clear your browser history and change your IP address.
Same here. I only come here with my phone plugged in.

That's the only way I can browse this site. One time I was trying to improve the performance of some code I was testing on my laptop, because the fan was going crazy and the computer just kept heating up.
Turns out, I had a single non-adblocked tab of LRC open.
That's probably not the experience the site's advertisers think they are paying for - forcing users to block their ads if they even want to use the website?

I agree. It’s gotten to that point. Block the ads, come here with your phone plugged in, or come less. I hope letsrun fixes this.
I’d like to stay on this site, but I’ve been here for twenty minutes, and my phone has lost 39% of its juice. Have to recharge.

Try charging it.
Yea I miss the old site. Miss the REALLY old site.
The site is the slowest I have ever seen. At some point I'll just stop coming. But I'm not the target demographic. Teenage and College runners like to bamter and troll each other because they all think they know everything....been there :)

Endless malware and ads, you can try ad-blockers and a stronger security suite.

Thank you! Any recommendations for ad blockers?
Adblock plus on Firefox.

I too have been coming here less and less, due to the mods and Greg.
Let those things roll off your back.
I’ve been here 20 minutes. Lost 50% juice. Have to reload. Any solutions, brojos or moderators?
Browse letsrun on a computer then. I never spend more than a few minutes on letsrun at a time, barring a major professional race being on. When I browse on mobile, which is rare, I use an addblocking browser and letsrun doesn't have a super draining effect on my phone. I would not come to this site if I had to do so with ads. They are attrocious, all over the place, and make browsing unpleasant.
