Hi folks, I started this thread at RunningAhead to get some input about where people think they'll end up and why. (Already, DH has formulated a...uh...unique plan for our survival...well, at least some of us.) I really like the RA site and its interface but people are the most important thing. I'd miss the great folks on this site....and, of course our new friend:<img alt="banana.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/banana.gif"><br>
-----------------------------------<br>
[cut and paste from the RA thread--with adjustments so it's not too confusing]<br><br>
I suspect others are in the same boat of<br>
(a) having decided to leave Active but<br>
(b) being unsure of whether to come here or go to RA.<br><br>
I'm someone who will choose one site and stay; I just don't have time to bounce back and forth between multiple sites. I'm curious about what people think and why.<br><br>
Three things are of interest to me:<br>
1) who will be here? I'm being selfish: I want to learn, have a sense of community, and have fun.<br>
2) what is the interface like? Simple, clean is my preference.<br>
3) is the site stable; will it be around for a while?<br><br>
I don't really know about #1, although I suspect folks who have been at KR for awhile will stay.<br><br>
#2 I prefer the RA interface to KR's. It really is a delight to use. I don't use an on-line log, but for others I know the log here is nice too.<br><br>
#3 I don't know enough about RA to feel confident about its stability. KR has just gone through switching to a new server and will hopefully be stable.<br><br>
In addition, I still feel a little reticent about "invading" the KR site. RA--at least the master's forum--has no history so we step on no one's toes going there. We get to create our own place.<br><br>
Right now, I'm leaning towards RA but will be heavily influenced by where others decide to go. Regardless, it's nice to have two excellent alternatives. I intend to support whichever new site I choose with a donation. The Active debacle has made me doubly appreciative of these DIY efforts.<br><br>
What do you think?
