Can we identify the very first LetsRun thread?

sorry, not it.

The very first thread was in the form of a series of stone tablets, which, unfortunately, have long since crumbled to dust. But yeah, I'm pretty sure it was about pooping in compression socks.

Video Killed the Radio Star.

There was an old version of the message board, all of the posts from which were lost circa 2003. So no.

I thought once something was posted on the internet, it was there forever? How can something be lost in cyberspace when it's always there?

Well yea, but wrote:

Only things that are embarrasing or dangerous remains forever. Valuable information vanishes very easily. Can you find any remnants of TNFMedia.com?

Well, I posted on that page. Damn, Via D and Brutal were responsible for half the posts!

I'm pretty sure I posted in at least one of those threads. Is there a way to actually look at the postings?

Seriously, ain't this the freakin' truth. Half the web sites in my "awesome running links" bookmark folder are dead, and some aren't on the internet archive.

Via D...man does that bring back memories. That dude ran Turkey Trot races in 20F weather in shorts with no shirt. Good guy, but crazy!

Whatever happened to kilgore?

The first thread on LRC was started by some guy who wrote:

"Letsrun used to be great, but now this board is nothing but haters, trolls, and wannabes. I'm never coming back to this site again."

I posted on running forums in the early 1990's, but didn't know LR existed until 5 or 6 years ago.

The best I can find is from archive.org..

Looks like a post titled "Underdogs" on Sept 4, 2000 at 4:05pm..

It's not the first thread, but I can remember the first thread I ever read on letsrun. It was titled "Rojo beats Wejo". I think it was at a DC 8k in early 2001.

Remember when Letsrun.com looked like this? I don't!

The board's address was
