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

[basketballguy]

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.

[CoeburnCane]

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

[Biggin]

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.

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

If you want to moderate somewhere else and then have people like you second-guess every move you make, then be my guest. I'll take heed to the above only after you do that. It sucks. Were it not for the other 99% of posters on here who don't complain and try to understand how crazy things are here, I'd have left a long time ago.

I'd be willing to put up a poll to see what moniker people would give the "news caster" you called Glenn Beck. Either "news caster", as you put it, or political pundit/entertainer--as he's been self-described and as most I'd wager would call him. Thusly...that got moved to politics. It was my judgement call to moderate it since we had a politics board, and I never backed down from it. Only you, seemingly, had an issue with that. I didn't get a single PM or message from anyone else with a problem with that.

I let the Bin Laden thread go because of it's national significance to everyone. That was the only Bin Laden thread created. Had we had 10 million pop up and they started getting out of hand politically, I would have had to do more. And, once again, it seems only you had an issue with how I handled that...no PM's saying "move the Bin Laden thread elsewhere, please".

Let's open up the conversation--Everyone else not named MikeJones or CoeburnCane: if you have a problem with the way I handled either situation above, then speak up. It will either a) be a learning time for me as a mod and validate MJ's complaint, or b) settle MJ's beef with me. Either way, I'd like to have that resolved instead of having stuff thrown back in my face a month after the fact.
