Yup!
She laughs at me......
Only if all of our posts and dailies are here. Not in the main forum. Out there EVERYBODY has to see them. At one time today, 8 of the 15 recent topic threads were ours.
eric just posted in the dear newcomers thread.
Count me in as one who would rather see the social dailies/penguins threads here in the BF and Beyond forum than on the main running page. It is great that this forum exists, and even better that the user groups exist, which seem ideally suited for the social part of the BF. I also think we should try to minimize any animosity towards the RWOL BFers from the existing RA users.

If we have our own group, as in, the BF and Beyond, aren't all of our posts "only" in this group? As in, we're not clogging their main thread with posts, but all of our posts show up in this group? Right?
This is what I'm wondering. If I stay in this user group, does it "clog" or disrupt previous RA culture?
No. This is seperate. If you post in Gen running, running 101, or any thread out there it does show up. They just would like chat/dailies in here and running posts out there.
Look at it this way. I'm guessing they have 30ish groups. Each one has a forum. If each group posted 2 threads in the main forum each day..........chat, dailies, whatever, this wouldn't be a running forum.

Oh, and one more thing that is considered a bit nails-on-the-chalkboardish around here: feel free to put your name in your signature line if you want everyone to know your real name, but don't sign all your posts. If your user name is Bob, you don't have to tell us at the bottom of each post that you are Bob. We got it.

wow, there's lotsa rules here. Good thing on our own super-secret group we can still sign our names.

PS. I've always done that, never realized it was frowned upon. Sad smiley face.
Wrigley Girl - please read my response on page 1 of this thread to the original note which I fully appreciated. If you read it, you will see that I advocated our bending over backwards to not annoy or disrupt the long-time and regular posters here and I still feel that way. I feel lucky that we were able to find another home where we can talk running etc. You may even find that we aren't completely parasitic - there are some really terrific people here who are serious and talented runners. <----not me, but others. The nice thing about the former Beginners Forum on RWOL was that it was (generally) very welcoming to noobs who stopped by looking for advice, even if they posted inappropriately or without reading previous posts or broke some other bulletin board social norm of which they were unaware. Elite runners offered advice to people starting c25k without telling how to sign their names. I was just poking fun at that a bit.
We're nice, we promise.
Actually, I shouldn't speak for everybody - I hate when people do that. So wherever I had a 'we' please put 'I'. Except for the talented runner part, I'm still not one of those. dancing banana.
