Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

May I give a warm welcome to all the defectors from RW. :)

I never realised RW had become that bad, but it's been years since I last bothered looking. I tried the forums there for a few months when I began running, found it quite unfriendly and cliquish but then discovered this place and have been here ever since. That was late 2008.

Same here postieboy, except I came over in late 2007. I got called a 'northern witch' on RW and criticised for 'being stupid' (long memory eh? Was upset at the time though) so never went back.
