The perfect message board

I'd make the adverts non moving ones, or ones that stay in one place and don't suddenly appear, because the current ones mean I can't come on letsrun from work whereas I used to be able to.

I'd change the yellow to pale green or blue.

I'd remove the locked threads at the top to a separate archive page so the post at the very top would be the most current post.

agreed

the yellow is nostalgic...but my eyes could use something more pleasing. Light blue would be better, way better.

There needs to be at least two forums here: RUNNING AND NON-RUNNING.

If I could make a perfect message board, it would be a place where assholes wouldn't continually offer unsolicited advice and try to change a place we all like to suit their own needs.

I don't know about "perfect" but something that makes a message board vastly superior is hierarchical threading. If you hit "reply" to the top level post, your post is indented a quarter inch to the right. If you reply to a reply, you bump another quarter inch to the right. It makes a conversation instead of a bunch of random posts that don't interconnect.

Here's an example:

Maybe you could have a running and non-running forum. Then, at the request of some fat-ass loud mouth, create a womens forum, too.

That's retarded. Use quotes instead.

100% disagree. They layout of that message board you linked to sucked.

Letsrun.com is the perfect message board. That is why it is so visited and so loved. Leave it be.
