What was the subject and message?
"Video Killed the Radio Star"
"Deer LetsRun readers"
I was there briefly at or near the very beginning.while participating at another website. wejo and JK came over talking about their new website. A couple of slick Texans with Yale and Mensa connections. So I did link in but not much was there--no recollection of what any threads were about. wejo and JK hung around the other site off and on, and then maybe a year later when TnFmedia.com went belly up I started coming over here.
The original/early days of letsrun was a combination of the brojos and their circle of friends/acquaintances, and refugees from tnfmedia and mervs running. The college kids came next, ca 2002, along with flagpole, and then the high schoolers invaded soon after that after some changeover at Dyestat.
runningart, malmo, smd, kemibe, Kilgore,mplatt, Brian, Jason the marathoner from Nevada et al. were there at or near the very beginning.
I first found out about the site in mid 2003 from a pro marathoner friend of mine. I was just coming back to running after about a 6 year hiatus. At the time I felt like I was a latecomer, now it is funny to think that on a relative basis I've been here from almost the beginning.
I never established a sustained username and I rarely post anything but I've continued to lurk and will for as long as the site exists. I'm sure most of the original posters who seem to have disappeared do the same. Once you're a track fan do you ever really stop checking in to see the results?
Did anyone else here post on AOL's track and field board in 1996?
Is Gabe Jennings update?

It just takes some patience, and a fast internet connection, to wade through 6598 pages of forum titles.http://www.letsrun.com/forum/forum.php?board=1&page=6597

Then again, it was really bad for my work the week I was looking through the thread data. I got nothing done.
No, but I do have a complete database (including deleted threads) since August 2016 from trackbot, scraped every time trackbot checks the MB. There's no easy way to tell what was deleted without re-checking every post on the site though, which means it would be problematic to share (esp. if there was sensitive information at times).
Do you have the controversial 5x18 miler workout thread? Please zip up the html and meet me in the vacated parking lot, next to where the crackheads deal.

Me too!
Good find -- that kid must be 56 now.That is pretty impressive, considering DARPA just started developing networks in 1969, Intel was just recently formed the year before, and predates the WWW, http, php, Unix, Windows, Linux, MS-DOS, MacOS, Microsoft, and Apple:https://www.darpa.mil/about-us/timeline/arpanet

It will never last.
malmo is a fraud and a pretender
my fake 4:21 mile in 1953 at KU was better!
We changed forums in 2002 so the first 1.5 year of the site don't exist.
The first thread i posted in under my new name on the new forum in 2002 was #100. If you change the #2s, you can find some from 2002. But #1 appears to be a mistake.
