Speaking of which ...
I think that a Wiki for this website would be very useful. It could initially be stocked with old fellrunner articles, but folk could add to it - hints on races, maps, records, reports. All sorts of useful stuff.
I know the forum does a lot of this, but presenting it as a Wiki would give the searcher an easier job of finding what he needs, it might cut out the repetition and other users would be able to edit wrong items, or at least add other slants on controversial topics.
The linear, conversational qualities of message boards like this encourages contributions, but, as has been said in the past, you often have gems buried in (dare I say it) dross.
Good to see you back on form YT.... well put.

Not clever & often stupid..
Yup! As in talking clever ideas for other people to carry out.
"Big hat, no cattle" as we say in Yorkshire.
I'll ignore the gratuitous insult.
But on your point about others doing the work, you are, of course, way off the mark. Wikis only work because everybody contributes - that's the beauty of them.
As I've said they do have an advantage over a forum (which is, basically, conversational) in that data and facts can be easily organised, accessed, validated and corrected.
You don't have to think - "Now where did I see that post about the short-cut across to Crowden Brook on the Skyline?" - you can get straight to it in a way that makes sense.
And, End, if you really do have a problem with any of this, just PM me and I'll explain it all to you - with pictures if needed.
Oh, stop it you too! Good idea about the Wiki.

Agree!
YT could kick it off with an essay on "My true identity and my modest opinions".
Actually, that's not a bad idea.
With a Wiki, you could easily concentrate all the facts about a particular forumite and, seen together in this way, it should be easy to narrow it down to either a handful of likely individuals, or the actual person.
In my case, so many people know who I am that it would be a great pity to ruin the enjoyment of the minority who don't.
You're known to as ALL ,and lovingly so as, BALLBAG
That's no way to talk to a Laydee!!
And anyway, I didn't know who YT was till one of you naughty ponies let it slip out of your nosebag!
