where the hell is everybody? even the few that stuck around for a while when i left are gone. there are maybe what....... 5 or 6 people that post anything on here at all?

Help Desk doesn't get any response.
I was the only one that I can see that lost all of their profile info when we were changed over to this board.
Help desk said they couldn't help me...I was persistent,, one of the moderators told me to leave it alone,, nothing could be done... very strange that I was singled out..
Little things keep building up, and b/f long no one is interested in posting or even reading this forum.
This is just like a business,, as far as I am concerned... hang with it,, or turn it over to someone else,,, and you can see what someone else has done for the board.

And as soon as I post this,, I will have to log back on.... it sure gets old..and nothing is ever done about it....

Not saying there is not problems BUT over the last 12 years (OMG cant belive it has been that long) Spring/Summer has been a dead period.....Come football season things generaly picks up

Counts... it has never been this dead. Very rare for a day to go by and not a single post in the sports side of the forum. It has happened multiple times thus far.

Wow... it really has been 12 years. Time has flown by.

I've been here for it all. I've seen the forum in the golden age, and in it's dead phase. Summer time usually sucks.
The forum needs to be changed. Hostboard is horrible.

I've been talking back and forth with Rock on this, and expect a move within the next month or 2. We are taking all suggestions seriously at this point as far as a move to another platform is concerned. We're hoping to get this done in the Summer months so the LPD Forum as it will be in the future will be fully up and operational come the Fall football season.

We are looking to make a move in earnest and we'll work as quickly as we can to find a suitable home for this place. We may or may not take all the historical user names and the message database with us, depending upon the choices in front of us...so be warned that this may be a place where we'll all have to sign back up and drum up membership via word-of-mouth all over again. I'm thinking about making a Facebook group to get users on and keep folks updated as to the search for a new site and to keep everyone in the loop with a link when we do have a new home so we don't have folks searching high & low for us like we did with the latest move to HostBoard.

When I know more, I'll post more. This is in the VERY EARLY stages right now.

like I said in a previous post, I found out about this place because of it being talked about on Friday night radio broadcast during the games. if we could find someone to get the word out during games that would have to help

dude please dont make us lose our usernames haha, it took me like two years of fighting to get Biggin back and I dont wanna lose it now. I dont wanna have to bring Bama_Man or Jesus out of retirement. Ive been posting here for a decade now, as has a lot of the older guys. We cant let a decade of work just disappear.

but this place is super dead now, nobody ever posts. Ive been posting here since I was in the 8th grade, Ive grew up in front of yalls eyes. Its sad to see this once great forum go thru such a rough spot. Ill never forget some of the craziness on here.
China cabinet guy (who challenged me to a fight at the Park in BSG but never showed), he who shall not be named, the very first Islam Wars between Freddy and myself, the drama with HWSNBN, R13 (or Burton13 hah)'s explosion on here, the weedeater/pac-man era, etc... Im sure theres a ton more im missing.

but we cant let this place die. There are too many good posters who know a **** ton about sports for this place just to die. Weve lost quite a few but there are still some here. Lung still lurks, PVFAN, CC, hell even mega lurks. We need to get this place rocking again.

**MikeJones** · May 9th, 2011, 05:34 PM

Nobody post probly cause its over modded. Post about a news caster losing his job and you get cussed in a pm for not putting it in political. A thread about osama getting killed is ok in general. Go figure. Posting should be simpler

**SunTzu** · May 9th, 2011, 06:38 PM

Still here since Jim's original board . Seldom post but check in regularly . More of a way to keep up with the happenings back home . We have had some real characters on here during those years , the Good , the Bad and the Ugly !
