Proud to be part of this for so long. I remember first time I wanted to write here I was afraid of my English and how it would sound for English speakers. Many things changed since than. Only the affection for the Lakers didn't and never will.
Lets go Lakers |

I have been here since the beginning. Don't remember if this sight came over from Rivals? i remember Club Lakers too.
I remember I used to be on AOL back in the days. Many great posters back then!
Me and CabinCreek go back to the AOL days and a few others. We used to have a blast. Times have changed and so have the posters but I am still around.. _________________ Let them HATE so long as they FEAR! |

I splurged for the 3 MB broadband special from Charter in 2001. I also splurged on a PC with 10 GB of hard drive space. I believe the PC was called Tiny, and I got it from QVC or something. LOL! |

I've lurked on I think clublakers and lakerstalk, and both sites seemed kinda immature. Thanks to the mods here for keeping things civil.
I also love how we can talk about other things like politics and current events and many others and find people with common ground, or have civil debates while learning new things. _________________ Lakers 49ers Chargers Dodgers |

20 years, damn!

LG has proven to be the most consistently well-moderated internet forum that I've ever read. Currently, there are only 8 active moderators, and they all (bleep) care. _________________ http://chickhearn.ytmnd.com/

Happy 20th anniversary, LG!
Whatever happened to uberzev? He was a fun mod. If I'm not mistaken, he also redesigned the site (to what it looks like today) and created all the awesome dancing emoticons! |

Monty forgot the Texas memes. Derek Fisher elbow to Ron Artest chest during 2009 playoffs, Dreamshake steaming mad about an elbow to the throat. Monty trolling with memes about body anatomy chart in Texas with neck arrow pointing to the chest and sunshine in Texas as a image of a clear night sky. One of the highlights on LG for sure. |
