I stopped logging in to RWOL ages ago, except on Sundays to post my miles.  It's nice to have a place to chat again.

Me too! Sometimes simpler is better... 

I'm just happy not to see any spam!

Well, well, well.  Look what the cat dragged in.

As long as there is no spam and/or Pluck, all's well. I was just on RWOL again and there was....gasp....a page of spam! Shock. I'm going for a run tonight before work, as I have too much homework right now. Oh, and I just baked pumpkin bread. Mmmmmm

TIMMY!!!!!!  I'll take a piece of that pumpkin bread!  When are you coming to visit me in Madison again??

I just stopped by RWOL to see what was going on. I won't be going back. I'm usually one that will hold out, but after spending the weekend on here, then going back there with 1) the crapton of spam 2) the SIGN UP NOW page that I have to close just to look at a thread and 3) the REI ads taking up half the page, I'm out. I don't mind ads, honestly if they're the targeted kind you'll catch me clicking them every once in a while. But if they take up half the page, no.

It is sad to have to abandon RWOL (I have not yet), but this place is really nice.

I said this in another thread and I'll say it again.  "Sad" is reserved for situations in which something bad happens and there was little or nothing that could have been done to prevent it from happening.  Rodale had many, many opportunities to fix the problems in their forums.

Oh, I don't mean sad for what they have done.  I mean sad that we'll lose some really good forumites and friends who will not come this way.  Happylily is saying goodbye in RWOL and she has already said she won't come to FB or here.  One that will be tremendously missed.
