I found a free download on the Internet that was almost exactly like the old one (a little newer, but still ok) Unfortunately their was a time limit and after so many days you had to buy it. I'd like to still have that game.

Simple. Get rid of everything except the Sports forum. Yeah people argue on the sports forum but for the most part people get along fairly well on there.
It used to be the only people the majority didnt get along on here with was "the cabinet nazi", "ThOsE gIrLs WhO tYpEd LiKe ThIs*~*~*~", and "jv superstars who could throw 90, run a 4.4 forty, and squat a clean 600 lbs. who wanted attention."
But now this forum is more polarized then America will ever be. So the only solution is forget about trying to make people politically correct or telling it like it is.
Just talk sports, local, college, pro, backyard whatever. Thats what Jim wanted when he created this thing over a decade ago. He wanted a place where the locals could make friends and enjoy one of the few natural resources this area will never run out of.
When we divided the forums up it just created more and more contraversy. Conservatives are tellin the liberals they were going to hell and the Liberals are calling the conservatives racist sheep. The only thing 95% of us can agree on in the religion forum is Jesus is the only way to Heaven, so lets just leave it at that. Your demoniation is not better then mine and mine isnt better then yours. We are all children of God, so just leave it at that period.
Your not gonna convince anyone they are wrong on here, yet everyday ppl try.
"A kingdom that is divided cannot stand." JC said that, Lincoln also paraphrased this during the civil war era, and it is still true today.
In closing I think a good rule of thumb for EVERYONE is WWRTD? What would retired teacher do. Before you hit submit just think about that for a second. This guy shows more class then everyone else on this forum combined. I guarantee he has spent more time talking to the big guy upstairs then anyone on here, yet he doesnt judge ppl or try to throw his beliefs on fellow forumers. Regardless of what you may have heard it was not Al Gore that invented the internet it was Retired Teach--while most of us was still playing Oregon Trial or Number Munchers. My point is, we need more posters like him. He has never put anyone down on here, never tried to sway someones religious beliefs and to my knowledge stirs clear of the politcal forum all together.
Anyone who remembers this thing a few years ago can tell you it has gone down hill drastically, so why not just bring back the one pure thing that brought everyone to this forum exclusively. Sports.

Simple Solution. POST IN THE SPORTS SECTION ONLY! This board is way too big to have only one board. I remember having the sports only board and how it was cluttered with non sports topics. That was when we got the sports and non sports board. Then the non sports board was over run with Religous and Politics threads. That is why we now have those boards. The simple solution is if you dont like certain boards then dont post in them. The board is fine the way it is.

if you will notice i have quit posting alltogether. this and the small peice of louey addington is the only thing i have said pubically on this forum in over 6 months, for several reasons.
i was one of the founding members, posting in the black and green days, and actually meeting Jim my freshman year. i just think this forum has turned for the worse and has lost alot of really good regulars because of it.

Regulars probably got bored with it. I think its fine as is, mainly because it keeps non-sports talk out of the sports forum. I post on only what I want to post on, and I read only what I want to read...its as simple as that. I think the mods-adminstrator are doing a great job with it myself.
"Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on."
Sports-only would suck. I'm not interested in basketball or even baseball by any means, and those are just about the only two sports that are being discussed as of lately.
Non-Sports forum and the other forums give the forum better organization and make it much easier to find what you want. I see no problem with the way the forum is currently categorized.
Officially retired

Thats the way things do sometimes. The forum has changed alot. It went from a few posters from the black and green days and grew into a very popular hangout for many. It is the way alot of forums are. If they are small forums with a few posters there will be better conversations and no board clutter. But with the size of this forum now if you go to a sports only board it would create alot of problems. People would be posting non sports stuff and the board would be a huge mess. If anything the board should expand the sports side to two different boards. One for LPS sports and the other for College and Proffesional sports. The way the board is growing in membership it will also have to grow in size. Maybe you should check out the new CMD board. It kinda reminds me of the old days here. But like this board it too will grow. I guess what I am saying is nothing ever stays the same and the only thing to do is adapt.
Wow, who are you? That was one of the best posts you have made in years [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
What we've got here is failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach, so you get what we had here last week which is the way he wants it. Well, he gets it.
