    There are a couple threads going on about this site getting too political. I agree.

    I'm dealing with some glute trouble and searched the boards for useful conversations about glute injuries.

    Wow! The older threads are amazingly thoughtful, courteous (to a point), and brimming with interesting information.

    These days, when people post questions about various injuries, they're often ridiculed or told to read old threads rather than likely to create a good conversation.

    Anyone else feel this way? Would be nice for these boards to return to a more of a spirit of collaboration than to look like YouTube comment section.

    Sigh

    re: youth.in.revolt

    The archived threads still fascinate me and I dig through them regularly whenever I am pondering a certain aspect of training or running history. That is my main reason for visiting the boards. Unfortunately, the search function sucks so I usually just search through Google to get what I am looking for.

    I am all about free speech but I think the boards suffer from incessant annoying posters. You can have your opinion but maybe don't start the same thread on it 5x a day.

    The boards used to be a lot more helpful. It feels like they took a slant for the worse after Trump won in 2016 and again after covid started.

    However, over the 20 year history of the boards, I honestly think almost all running-related questions have been asked already. It’s not exactly a complicated sport. I just search through google if I have something specific I’m looking for.

    The Alt Left is in control of the White House, MSM, and most of social media. And they are becoming a stronger influence here on LRC daily. I am starting to regret that I voted for Biden for one.

    In answer to the title question, No I don't. However, I only stumbled upon this website about 2.5 years ago. I'm definitely not a Gen Z person either.

    re: youth.in.revolt

    Someone on here asked a serious running question the other day, I really don't remember what it was about, I just know it was a question I couldn't really answer helpfully. Not one person replied. I remember thinking though, how sad, legit running advice isn't really offered on here anymore, at least not to "novice" runners.

    I agree with this. If its not political its on and on about this or that person on youtube. Most other posts die off without too much discussion.

    Honestly, I think most people just come here to troll.

    The main board should be running related. Sub boards for snowflakes of both sides.

    Always been that way, though of course it's gotten way worse because it wasn't cleaned up when it was an easy task. This is what the JoBros want.

    I remember when we used to get posts from Jim Spivey, Ruth Wysocki, and Jack Daniels. No danger of that nowadays. People like that would probably just get a lot of anonymous insults.

    Dear overlords, stop deleting comments that are critical of your site and your userbase. It's embarassing.
