I have a marathon I'm hosting and I want to add it to there to spread the word. It's called Speed Stuff 4 Charity

United States

Not to be a total downer, but I personally don't really like giving main area forum space to everyone that asks for it. Just look at the last two boards that were added. 0 threads and 1 thread.

Really we should just have a general community marathons board people can add threads to and also the ability to create a marathon schedule page and tie it to the user instead of the whole site.

I also don't like the idea of using the site to specifically promote smaller marathons. It's user generated content that the admins have no insight to, so it doesn't make sense to sanction causes. (Especially if it's for charity, I have no way to guarantee it's for charity other than people telling me so.) Giving it it's own forum makes it look like we're sanctioning it, which is okay for larger stuff, but for smaller stuff could cause issues.

I do want to provide resources for marathon organizers. I do not like using site space to promote and/or sanction marathons I know nothing about.

Nothing personal at all.
