I've been watching what's happening here and have posted more in the past 5 days than I did in two years on CR. I warned on CR that I see bad things happening when this thing switches over to active and was hoping I would have been proved wrong. I was right and it's worse than what I thought would be the worse case scenario.

I used CR just for the log and just lurked on the discussions. It was nice to do a workout or a run, stretch, sit down and in 30 seconds logged my workout. I have a workout plan- I plan to run three times this week and do strength training the other three days. Nothing complicated. The day I run I determine how far I'm running and choose a route, usually while I'm tying my running shoes. I get done running and post my run, done. I saw my pace, my weekly mileage, my yearly mileage for that workout, and the mileage for that pair of shoes already added up. Simple! I rarely used the forums and could give a rats *** on how they look or if old posting are going to transfer, I just want a SIMPLE, EASY TO USE, log that can all be done on one page and all info on another.

I understand that active wants everyone on a plan, their plan not ours, and then and only then can you post your workout. Just finding my posting on active training is difficult enough, but trying to find where it is and my mileage, I needed a detail map. Now what use to take less than a minute takes over five just to post, forget about looking at results. Some of my data transfered here. Only one pair of shoes was listed and am told that I have to keep up with the mileage on them that's it's not automatic. Doesn't matter if the rest of my data transfered, I have to do it myself. There goes another five minutes just to add the mileage to those shoes. How many miles have I run this year, I can get a weekly report times each week and I've got my yearly mileage. There goes another five minutes. So what took thirty seconds now takes thirty minutes. That's an upgrade?

I already exported my info to RunningAHEAD.com and everything transfered. A simple edit job that took a couple of minutes and all my data is there. I have already posted that I give active until Dec. 31 to get an easy to use working log together or I will go somewhere else. If I get a C&P response, a "I feel your pain", or an apology response from an active staffer, I'll be gone sooner. I would a detailed solution of what is going to happen to this site or are we just stuck with a "my way or the highway" site?
