Someone should start a board for runners looking for roommates/housing.

A) It'll make training groups

B) Say you have 4 people, but need a 5th for a house, it would be cool to add another runner who's looking for a place

C) Where I live alot of people rent out rooms, it would be nice if a runner could rent that to someone who also runs.

Just a thought, it would make the community a little stronger.

It would just be a link, and not require too much work. Obviously a little policing and removing spam, but that's about it considering it would have less traffic than a regular message board. Maybe require log-in, so that real estate people can't spam the board.

I like the idea. A lot, actually. It'd make it that much easier for guys to "live the dream," as they say. If you've got 5 or 6 guys sharing rent, it's not as big of a burden.

Yeah, I think it's a good idea as well.

Why don't you just go to one of the many sites that hosts free message boards and set one up yourself for that purpose and then spam the link around to all the other running sites and message boards? If you really think it's such a great idea, that is.

I just love people who come up with more work for others to do when they could easily be doing it themselves. Get involved, just do it yourself.

Yea I know what you mean.

Just I don't have time for such an idea right now. Being tied down with Grad School and a qualifying exam this month.

Besides it would have to be credible. I trust letsrun and flotrack more than anything I could make. If I just start something I'd have very little pull in the community. It's not something where the site does much more work than they do now. Just another link like the one you clicked for this. Considering there'd probably be less traffic on such a page than the actual message board I think it wouldn't be terribly difficult. Just allowing people to post and include their email if someone wants a place, or has a place.
