There are some "Related threads" in the link in the sidebar -> over there ->.

There are a few new "Migrated from RW forums..." threads. Welcome all the RW diaspora! :-) G

Hello RW refugees,

Welcome to posting on Fetcheveryone! It's completely free to use, and there's no big company behind it - just me. But the site also celebrates its 20th year this year - and our forum is doing well - so hopefully it's a safe harbour for you to continue to hang out with your running pals. There's a tonne of other useful stuff there too :-)

I've written some code that can export an RW thread to a word document.

If you'd like me to export your thread and email it to you, please contact me through Fetcheveryone:

fetcheveryone.com/feedback-contact.php

Let me know which thread, and where you'd like it sent. I will respond on a first-come, first-served basis, and will do as many as I can before RW pull the plug at some point tomorrow.

Cheers
Ian

Shades
fetcheveryone that's very generous and clever of you.

On reflection I don't want a copy of the Shades RW thread, it's too big and I honestly can't see me doing searches to find something. I've suggested to other regular posters on that thread to pull off any race reports they haven't saved elsewhere.

Thanks for the offer.

WtnMel, I'm glad that you have transferred across from RW. It was me who upgraded the Mature Runners to New Mature Runners. All the previous posts were "lost" and we started again from scratch. I always suspected that the RW forums would eventually "run out of steam".

Was told recently that the young Tik Tok generation don’t use forums. So they’ll all eventually die on their arse.

I’ve no idea if this is true.

I’m sure they’ll survive - they put their phones down when they are hungry.

This one is almost worth saving, just for the sheer stupidity of it. The bloke who received his race number through the post, but it didn’t have a number on it. Just for straight vertical lines.

On contacting the organisers to alert them to their mistake, he was informed he was number 1111 😆😆😆

About This Thread

Maintained by fetcheveryone
Runner's World posted an announcement today to tell their users that they are closing their forum on Friday :-O

So... I just wanted to make a little landing pad and decorate it with welcome flags for any new arrivals.
