When I was a youngster the big edge the Dyestat forums had over Letsrun was the organization of the board. They have a tiny bit of it here (it’s not intuitive or features) but I don’t see why you couldn’t break out a page with Training, NCAA, Elites, Current Events/Politics, High School. That organization made it a lot more tailored experience, so you weren’t mining for a good thread. You also had UX enhancements like being able to see all your posts and jumping to those threads to see replies.
