question about the directory
Is this board going to take over from "the advert"? because I think it would be a good idea to advertise this board where the advert is now so it gets some traffic in here. I mean with runboard support/ tips and tricks on the front page.

Re: question about the directory
Panther, this board is different from the Advert. We'll see what happens when The Runboard Directory grows, but so far, both boards will exist side by side.
You are right about the link, however, and that's in the works.

Re: question about the directory
Just my tuppence ha'penny, but The Advert always seemed a bit kind of impersonal to me. Here people talk to each other more, which can only be a good thing, surely

Re: question about the directory
Thanks, Funk.
This is exactly the kind of difference I had in mind. I'd love to see the Directory grow as a community, a friendly meeting place for people. Your kind words have made this little horse very happy.

Re: question about the directory
So is that directed at everyone except for you, or are you including yourself?
I had to point out your wording, sorry.

Re: question about the directory
I too, find TRD a *much* more of a friendlier board then The Advert. I hope this board outgrows TA by a looong shot...because, frankly, I find that that other board is much more stuffier.
TRD totally rocks!!!

Re: question about the directory
I second the above.
Though, I am curious, why didthe Advert loose it's official status? If this is a private issue than I applogise for asking, but I think we can all agree this board contains a much lighter atmosphere.

Re: question about the directory
there were small disputes and when it came down to a decission between the two, the directory showed more future use than the advert. I ended up caught in the dispute and thought it better to come here than remain at the advert. so my join date minus a week is when the advert became unofficial.

Re: question about the directory
Whatever the official reason is or was only made by Thor and no one else I am sure will ever be privy to it. Sorry we can not answer any better.

Re: question about the directory
I figured it, not only that but I would agree it's best not discussing it in detail - no sweat. I was just curious, because although I do like the Runboard Directory better, the Advert was official for quite some time, and then it seemed to drop out of existence. Personally, aside from the community, the apperence of this forum is much better I think. Firlefanz is very nice too, and there are some very good ideas like Boards of the Month. not to mention the organisation and structure...

Re: question about the directory
I like the Directory better because It feels More like a board than advert did. I mean people will come here and discuss other things, not Just come here and Post a link to their board and never come back again.

Re: question about the directory
I come back to both - just to see how many views my ad's have. Having said that I do like the sense of community here.
