Give us real answers that you are really doing something instead of insulting our intelligence.

Ya know . . . there is a lot more to a database conversion than just not losing the data. The data has to make sense post conversion. Anybody can take a few thousand records and dump the data willy-nilly into a free form Notes field. This is a really poor conversion job. For example, I only see 30 or so records in my database from Sept thru Dec. There should be twice as many during that time period. Also, nearly every run is categorized as Incomplete.

Did your team perform this conversion internally or did you hire a consultant to do the job? Did your conversion team setup a test conversion site and thoroughly test the procedures? If so, did your team even look at the results? Did you communicate with anyone at CoolRunning to verify the results? What procedures did you use to verify the conversion? Did you even consider having some of the CoolRunning members look at and critique the test results? And, most importantly, don't you have a rollback procedure?

If you did hire an external consultant to run the conversion, please don't tell me they are getting ready to convert my bank next week. If so, I may feel better keeping my money under my mattress.

After all the old coolrunners go find another place to post and manage the community should be small enough for the old coolrunning site to support.

But they won't.

What, they should change to please us?

Thank goodness I found both runningahead.com and running2win.com last week. Eric and Mike (respectively) transferred my coolrunning log to their sites, the same day I made the request. I've been logging my runs into both sites, playing around with them, learning their features and finding navigation to be very intuitive on both. Not at all like this active garbage. I'll choose one log or the other for 2008.

That is, if I can't have my old coolrunning log back...
