What was the first thread??????

I've been down the rabbit hole before

http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=5904388

They very first post is unfindable. It doesn't exist anymore because the forum that was first used was shut down because the scripts were using up too much resources on the server. See here

A new temporary message board was then setup while the brojo's tried to get their own server. The very first page of that board can be found here in May 2001. The very first post was "test3" by test3.

The temporary board was then dropped and letsrun changed over to a new board in 2002. This is the earliest page I could find, not the first ever page on the new board as it's a maze to navigate on the wayback machine and was more than likely never captured but nonetheless, here it is

Wejo doesn't remember what the first ever post was so I guess we'll never know.

I remember seeing a letsrun singlet at the 2000 US Olympic Marathon trials in Pittsburgh which was May of 2000. I am pretty that TnFmedia (was that rungroteschief?) was still the main site in the late 90's though.

Seeing these old archives makes me feel like I'm in my dorm room sophomore year of college (01).

Does anyone remember the greatness that collegerunning.com and run-insight.com were? I even bought a run-insight t shirt!

Letsrun outlasted. Congrats guys.
