Where'd the leaderboard go? The ode to our collective testicles? The picture of Saber on his hamster wheel? Jessica? Hippies? Whales defecating? Let me guess: all that whining about the "leaderboards" from the other groups ruined our fun? Reminds me of public schools that have instituted an "everybody gets an A" policy. Political correctness sucks donkey balls. God forbid anyone actually has a chance to fail at something. Double sigh. The world is going to hell. Do you know in California I can get arrested for smoking a cigar on the beach? OUTSIDE? Jesus wept. So did Allah, Buddha, and Scooby Doo. I was hoping this group o' geeks would be spared. Hoping no one would notice us. Or care. Guess not. Can we at least have the picture of Saber back? If we promise to hold hands and sing kum-bah-yah?

Derek: When you get a chance, put back the link to your mileage page, too - or pin it in the forum here, whichever works.

I dunno, the new YTD Distance board looks pretty cool. Was that not there when you started the thread? It ranks everyone by distance. So now we can easily determine not only the leaders but the laggards as well...and ridicule them relentlessly if they deserve it. For example, if someone at the back of the pack (like, say, Scout7) were to--oh I don't know--make a joke about the unlikelihood of someone near the front of the pack (such as JakeKnight for example) ever being in the lead, lots of jokes and questions of manhood could ensue. I'm not instigating, just saying...could happen. Although it does appear that Eric has (wisely perhaps) taken away our editing powers on that page. Eh. All in all a good trade off.

Good point - I hadn't even noticed how horribly far back Scout7 is. Probably cuz I can't see that far. But I still call uber-lameness. Sure, the leaderboard was a dumb idea to begin with. But once you set up the game, you don't change the rules just because it's not working out for you. If you really care about the leaderboard, go run some more. Lame, lame, lame. Of all the solutions, I liked Derek's best. One glance, and I can see where everyone is, all on one page. Also makes it easy to pick out the dumb@#$%s who are still in the wrong groups. Newsflash: if you're way outpacing the group ABOVE your group, you're in the wrong place. But, of course, all I REALLY care about is the editing feature. Keep the rest, but bring that back. I got a kick out of checking in here when I logged my runs, just to see what you nutbags had done to the leaderboard.

So does anyone who gets #1 on the leaderboard get to be put in a hamster wheel? i think that should be the "award" for being such a running drone. T-15 minutes until my 6:30am tempo run... does it get better than this! i'm sure there is no whining allowed here right ?
