I'm not complaining really, it's just a shame that so many regular contributors appear to have little interest in fellrunning. Threads like this and the Brexit and All Lives Matter threads, which seem to revert to an endless spiral of bickering, do little to enhance the reputation of the forum... wouldn't be quite so noticeable if other parts of the forum were a little busier...
We all slate the facebook page (usually with good reason) and there has been some utter bollocks published on there over recent months. But at least there is also a healthy dose of fell talk, discussion about past races and racers, etc...
Is a bit of a shame because this place is an absolute goldmine of info and experience... but whenever I mention the forum to a non-forumite at a race, they look at me like i'm mad (may be accurate!)
