A few shit stirrers helps
The odd troll, but that's a fine art.
Sanctimonious wannabe middle classes
Loads more, but footballs on!
Trolling is not an art it's just the way losers with sociopathic tendencies and too much time on their hands get their kicks.
BTW most people on here are too laid back to rise to the bait so I'd say this probably wasn't the best forum for a troll . There's a hint in there somewhere Dreamtwister - perhaps you ought to take it...?
Anyway, KK, in answer to your question:
Size of community since this = speed of reply, diverse opinions and plenty of support where needed. I posted a painful dilemma on another site yesterday, as I needed some outside perspective and waited 6 hours for a reply 
Diversity: If this site WAS all about running I wouldn't use it so often. (When I'm at work it's where I come to get intelligent conversation 
). Any forum which is too narrowly focussed will end up being left to a hardcore of nerds.
The people on it: Perhaps runners are just good folk generally but, you know, apart from the odd arsehole most people who post on here are pretty sound. I guess that's something that can't be manufactured in when you're setting a forum up though...
