Still too many trolls here ...

It would be cool if there were selective forums such as a competitive forum and an elite forum that would allow everyone to view but only qualified people to post. But the design and implementation of such a forum would most likely be complicated and costly so it seems like we'll have to live with it.

TROLL TROLL TROLL

This is very true - when letsrun.com looked to be about to die, I started setting up the foundation for a new site. I am still thinking of launching it - it would be nice alternative to all the trolls and crap posts here.

The big thing is that anonymous posting is allowed here, so there is no method of policing the forum. My forums would require registering with an email address, but no "hands-on" moderation. We want free speech, but also accountability. The lack of accountability here is what makes people post crap so much.

What do people think - want a new forum? I can make it happen...

What's the big deal? The trolls are what make this forum more fun than the ones at other sites.

And what do you consider "qualified"?

What happens if you're fairly quick, but still a Troll?

If you don't like it, don't visit. Now, go back to your EPO doping.

I'm a troll. And we need love too. Often we're misunderstood. Our best nature run over by a polite world. But we are essential too.

Who else will stimulate debate with unsubstantiated opinions, ludicrous conjecture, and genuinally bizarre brain flatulence. It is I, the mere, the humble, the misunderstood troll.

It's often overlooked that it takes work to be a troll. There is genius is our art. Push too much and the reed breaks, and a good troll, like a comedian, knows this.

So buck up punks and kiss my #@%. Ryun, Zapotek, Nurmi, and your momma are on drugs!

just kidding,

neighborhood troll

oh, in all seriousness, provocation is fun, and a sense of humor is a good thing to exhibit, but I hope that now letsrun is back, that we all preserve it in trust and reasonably good taste

i am not real concerned, as i don't waste too much time here. i just was pointing out why there is so much crap, since someone else pointed out there was so many trolls. the fact is that people will say anything when the can hide in anonymity and have no accountability for what they say.
