Xenforo for the forum. It would be great.
This site is crying out for a redesign

I'm on a community forum that uses the Xenforo format and it's great, one of the best formats that I've ever seen for a forum.

8 years later this website is still a 2001 web design marble.
Let's keep it this way.111 -

What's wrong with the site? Only that it's one of the most successful running sites on the Internet. Clearly someone is doing a terrible job.
Show us your work. I'll bet it's not as good as you think.
It's 'successful' largely because it offers a home to wide array of socially retarded misfits and trolls who have nowhere else to go.. if that's your definition of success you're welcome to it. The OP has a point.

That’s right, it ain’t broke so why fix it?! 👌

I was here on the original letsrun board before they designed it to the current format you see here. Part of it's charm is this old format and people posting with random names.

Let's keep it this way.100%. The format is the most endearing, enduring pieces of the site.
Tbh if it changed to a flashy new site I think it would get less visits.

Heck, I'll double.....no, TRIPLE what I donate to support this site if the format could be upgraded.
I'll also order twice the previous years' worth of t-shirts, too. Must be the holiday spirit in me, baby!

To be clear, Xenforo can be used by anyone to make a new running website.
It would be just as easy as profiting from a Youtube channel, but much more beneficial to the person who starts it and the overall running community.
Personally I think this is what will eventually happen.

"I'm a web designer, and I'm here to help!"
A phrase that you never want to hear.

I designed my personal websites a few decades ago but I'm way too old for that now.
The world is now the oyster for you younger whippersnappers.

First of all, the internet is full of misfits and trolls. They’re not confined to LRC. Second, the moderators have made this site, in less than a year, the most heavily policed site I have ever been on. And a lot less fine.

Probably because they don't realize how easy it is.

They've done it many times in other areas, just not yet with running / athletics.
