Right.
I was hoping for a new message board for runners to talk about whatever’s on their mind without bad LRC moderators deleting good stuff and letting certain people continuously post misinformation without restraint.
Let Kyle Merber lead you to the promised land.
Lol k
I think I have been back to this site two or three times this year. Far more non running thread than ever. I posted on a stupid thread that should have been deleted before it got to four pages of misinformation. Wouldn't you know that my post was the one that got deleted.

Why is that sad? It's the offseason.
The forum is a place where runners talk about stuff - running, politics, technology, pop culture, etc.
The good news is we are launching a new forum interface in 2022. If you don't want to read non-running news, we will let you filter it out so your own private forum will be 100% running news.
Bull. It's because your traffic numbers are garbage and you have to rely on chum CPM display advertising to make money. Otherwise you'd never deal with the amount incel morons who post non-stop COVID disinformation all day.
Oops, my mistake. It's still there

Basically a time capsule waiting for the right people to revisit. Better functionality than letsrun.

Outa here if another one pops up. Letsrun has had zero competition, and has gotten lazy. The site has taken an obvious nosedive. It’s like a garden that’s not kept up.

That may once have been true but the forum is now a place where people with fringe socio-political views and no interest in our sport come to circle jerk.

You can go register an account on the Runner World's forums. Oh, wait, all you wokes have destroyed every single running forum on the internet by driving people away that don't have your political views and they no longer exist!

Don't get a new format. Please.
Part of what makes this place great is the platform. Let it exhist on a 1998 phpbb release, thats what makes it beautiful. One of the last remaining frontiers on the internet.
I love that this is a safe space (no sarcasm) where people can talk about whatever and wherever (within reason).

Yeah ok go to the "running only" forum where there is one post per day and it's from david45. Gtfo of here with that. People come to LRC for the fringe socio weirdness.
What site could possibly compete with Greg making 10 threads a day that all get deleted? It's all about the rogues gallery

I care nothing about politics and come here for the running content. I have for almost 20 years now.
More than half the threads are trash on the front page.

I have to agree. I mean, how much can you actually discuss "What do you think I could run?", "Who is the GOAT?", or "How many miles per week?"
The odd beauty of LRC is "all the other stuff." Yea, some of it is pedantic as hell, but just scroll right past those if you don't want to be involved.

No. We’ve heard this all before. This is just an excuse for you to post whatever stupid sh1t comes into your brain or reposting content you JUST read or watched on Fox News or OAN and pass it off as your own which is quite a lot,

Only took you 20 years to figure it out.

Does anybody even talk about running on LR any more?

Right. It is the offseason. When Trump runs for president again, 65 out of 75 articles will have nothing to do with running.
