Travs, I feel really sorry for you (and Mike T). As I said recently to a new member asking about the BG this forum used to be brilliant with a large group of members who knew each other in ‘real life’. They’d meet up at races, recce together and go out socially too. The vast majority of the people who supported both my and my wife’s BGs were met through the forum. A load came to our wedding (we met on here). Occasional trolls turned up and there was the squabbling you see on many forums but generally it was good
Unfortunately I think firstly a move over to FB and latterly a small but active group of political posters have more or less killed things. As you say no-one wants to talk fellrunning here any more. The thread I started recently was a ploy to see if we could drum up some interest but the response was disappointing. The really sad thing is most of the political posters aren’t even fellrunners. At least two are anonymous or think they are. All very sad. I’d close the forum down and have felt like that for well over six months. I knew lots of old regulars who think the same. It’s a sick dinosaur and should be put out of its misery
