Officially joined to be a voice on here 😁 Have been on here since a supervisor told me about it back when I started that job so it must have been fall of 03 when I first learned about it and visited. Was more of a schedule/score site at the time. Seems like it turned more towards a message board and that's when I officially signed up on it 🙂 GMan and Ryan4VT 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a big step up from the original one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a lot of free time when I started the original site, it then evolved into this board. The idea for this board came from Lance Ratliff, he had the connections and suggested it to me. He runs it now since I stepped down a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 When did the LPD forum die? That’s when a lot of us LPD/M7 folk migrated over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam McPoyle 1,863 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 I discovered the site around 2003. I lurked but never joined until years later. There was some member way back that had a clip that’d play every time you clicked on his post. I remember it saying “It’s good to be king” with a short snippet of Ahmad Bradshaw,IINM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 9/30/12, we will shut it down for good--the board will no longer exist on HostBoard, and no archives will be kept. Now--I want to say that I welcome some of the remaining membership that wants a message board of some type (Region D coverage, maybe?) to feel free to create another one if they wish. In my opinion, guys like Unchained, Double D, Lung, centennialdawg, Beast, starbuck, etc...would be awesome guys to put their heads together and start up another board if they want. I'm not volunteering them, but that's just my opinion. They've all been here for a LONG time on this board in every permutation, and can keep the spirit of folks who enjoyed this board like Jim, OleTob, and retiredteach alive and kicking in another format elsewhere. I do believe that folks like myself and R0ck (for sure), and maybe steer/Stripes too, probably wouldn't be up for moderating on a new board if one came about. I'll let you all applaud now. Truth is, we're just tired, and with all the changes--it's time to step away for a bit. Even though it was a headache at times, I've enjoyed being a moderator/admin on this board, and I appreciate R0ck for giving me the opportunity to help out back in I believe it was 2004'ish. I may have rubbed folks the wrong way and made some moderation calls that weren't always popular, but I want to promise you all this, man to man/woman, I always tried to do my best to keep this board running smoothly. I won't speak for the rest of the mods, but I whole-heartedly believe their motivations were the same. I've made some friends/acquaintances on this board that will be life-long, and will never regret that one single bit. I've never hidden behind my screen name, and most folks know me more by my real name than my ID on here. So...instead of looking up CoeburnCane, if you need something in the future, feel free to hit up Brad Ketron on Facebook. No matter what our posting past may be on here, if there's something I can help you with out in the real world--don't hesitate to contact me. Please post all final platitudes/comments/screw-you's below...lol...everyone take care. At the risk of sounding corny: Long live the LPD.

BandanaVTDavis4321 1,717 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 Any of you all remember the LPD report? I remember going to it in the 90. It had all the LPD teams and would give schedules rosters, etc. I think it went away around 2001ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehen you sent to the website, it listed first all the LPD teams and their stste titles then you click on team names and it gave rosters and team photos. I think it was kind of a precursor to the LPD forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy smokes brother, incredible that you found that. I hadn't seen this in over 20 years! I think the guy that ran it died of a brain tumor or something like that and all of a sudden, the Website Stopped being updated around 2000ish. It would be updated every week and cover all the games and scores. What a blast from the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BandanaVTDavis4321 1,717 Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 That website Richrod had Marty's picks. He would give picks for all the games and then they would have links to local media coverage of each game including the websites own coverage. Each team had links to schedules, pictures, regular updates on injuries. I remember always reading about Julius Jones on there and clicking the P. Valley link. While in Texas in pharm school in a portion of the 90's, LPD Forum was my go to for scores in Virginia. They always had em state wide and this was before newspapers like the Bluefield Daily and Bristol Herald came online. For all former LPD teams/fans, check out that website above for a cool look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
