    Important question for the membership that is left...

    It's possible that this board will be going away before football season starts up this fall. I'm of the mind (as are some of you) that this place has run it's course, pretty much, and it's time to move on.

    Now--a few questions I'd like what feedback I can get on:

    1) IF this board does go away, would any of you like to know of a new board if some of the old guard from here decided to start another one elsewhere? It wouldn't be called LPD Forum and wouldn't have a lot of the same layout (read: it would be much smaller/informal, and we'd start from scratch...no importing screen names/posts).

    2) IF this board goes away, would you be more interested in a Facebook group, or another Message Board type of environment? This one is important, because I'd like to see a consensus on the preferences of who's left.

    3) Since we're pretty much at the end of the line: any and all feedback from the past several years is welcome, good/bad/otherwise. I'm not moderating anything anymore at this juncture, so any and all opinions will be unfettered and as-is (save for the language filter that's in place in the Hostboard software). Look at this as your opportunity to speak freely about the good and bad things about the board...and if you have any solutions to problems you've seen in the past that we can all learn from--feel more than free to share that as well.

    Personally I'd rather see a forum that covers not just the distric but this area. SWVA board used to be solid,but has fallen off. If we had a well-run board where folks could talk regional sports,it would pick up IMO. I would say use it on Facebook,but it's just a matter of when and how much they will start charging members soon

    Facebook sucks. I prefer this sort of format and I'd prefer it to say LPD specific.

    I think we should all just let it die. I am also in agreement that either a more informal type of forum be used if this board is to continue in some other "incarnation" Whatever is decided, I would like to be a part of it.

    May not work on FB,but it sure as hell isn't working here. Maybe start a newer,better version and spread the word? I don't know what the solution is,but watching this site die a slow,painful death blows.To have more members,discussion..we need it to be regional instead of LPD (which may not be the LPD soon anyway)

    I guess all great things come to an end at some point in time. I guess if you had to start over from scratch then you might as well make it more regional based. At least making it the surrounding schools. With all the district changes and everything, it's hard to say what schools are gonna be where from one year to the next. I'm cool with just the local districts (LPD. CMD, Cumberland and so on).

    Re: Important question for the membership that is left...

    I use to be here many times per day then it went to once a day. now I find myself not coming to the site but a couple times per week.
    I don't know the answer but maybe make that decision during or after footaball season. that it he most traffic this site will have. if we change it now will it have some way to get those people that would pop back in during the fall to the new site?

    Per what discussions I've had with Steven, who owns HostBoard, we can keep this board in a read-only state for an indefinite amount of time before it goes away 100%. Given that, if we moved things elsewhere pre-football season, we could leave a redirect link at the top of each board to let everyone know where to go to start anew.

    Thanks to all so far for the responses--keep em coming.

    Might as well start a Western Sectional board as thats what everyones going to be in for playoffs once the implement this new system sports wide in next 2 years. Think it's a bad idea need to cut down teams, Softball an baseball is showing the issues with the forfeits mainly because schools out, but in fall winter sports you just see a blowout and someone have a serious injury in a meaningless playoff game.
