Just curious as it hasn't loaded for over a week. Is it done?

I'd be sorry to see it disappear, as it was my first-ever Kings board.

It suffers from being "isolated", whereas here on HFBoards, you have "all the hockey topics in one environment", for all teams and all leagues, which saves time in our busy lives.

(The disadvantage of this board is the overpowering censorship, but there is simply no other option. Nope, I don't consider the chaotic Reddit a viable discussion venue.)

It’s been dead for a decade man.

I think the colony took it down.

And the ads.

I heard they've been dealing with tech issues. It's unfortunate, I keep meaning to go there to say hi. I have made some awesome friends through there more so than here (though a lot of them have since come here).

A guy from LGK once came over to Bratislava here, and we got behind-the-glass seats to watch a Slovan Bratislava game when Ziggy Pálffy was playing in the Slovak league after he was done in the NHL. Ziggy was like a yard from us during each face-off in the offensive zone for two periods.

Another LGK poster (with a Slovak heritage), in the early 2000s, when he learned that the school I was working for back then still had no access to the Internet, sent over money to the school so that it could purchase its first router. (And then a couple of years later when he visited Slovakia along with his wife, he visited the school as well.)

There were/are definitely some very fine folks over there at LGK!

I think the majority of us started there and quickly left for whatever reason. Is it still the “official” LA Kings forum?

rinkrat must have finally pissed off the last person willing to help him for free.

It died when they banned me 17 years ago.
Kidding of course. I would have went back in a second if they’d have had me.

 

[Maynard]

Lifetime ban for me too lol. I definitely deserved it.

 

[ibleedkings]

Left there probably 20 years ago and never looked back.

I miss the articles all in one nice place ... as a canadian looking for kings content .. its pretty few and far between

I didn’t feel like I deserved it, but I was a kid back then. RR encouraged my shtick’s that I had. He told me to lean into them. Then W8 became a mod and he went and immediately started deleting every non Kings post I made. Then he started giving me infractions even though there was no rules in place.

Long story short is that I called him out publicly and he threatened to ban me. I send him a PM sarcastically quoting the scripture that says “ Fathers, do not be irritating your children”. He banned me so I did a charge back on my LGK membership and changed my LGK fantasy hocked team name to F Doug W8. I guess it ended up being a perma ban at that point.

Slightly different experience for me but on the same vein. I was getting warned for "spamming" because I posted MayorsManor articles I wrote. Note that each article I posted was only posted once.

Never banned, but I felt less welcome there and spent more time here, condequently.

Miss Reclamation project. He was cool over there.

I was the guy who's Grandma (that I didn't know well) died the day we drafted Drew Doughty and made a thread how exited I was to leave work early to go home and get ready for the draft. Was a pretty big thread there in the day. Heh heh.

 

[Telos]

It's where I started out too, though I hadn't logged back in since like 2007/8 around there. I came to HFBoard shortly after the Ducks won their cup looking for a better community to lick my wounds with I'd be surprised though if it is down permanently.

What ever happened to Reclamation Project on here?

Did Ron ever invite you guys to his forums?

 

[johnjm22]

OT I guess, but there's so much pettiness on message boards.

A lot of the LGK bans are silly IMO.

There's posters around here I don't like, and that get on my nerves, but I would never want them banned/suspended.

I understand mods have to crackdown on some stuff, but when they start getting heavy handed a board starts to lose its character.

LGK has been in decline for awhile. I don't think I've posted there in 15 years at least.

There was a recent suspension around here that was totally lame.

I talked to him for a while but then just fell out of touch. I remember there was that other forum and was there for a bit but forgot about it and *poof*.

You have a similar story I guess?

Incident at data center? Lmao. Unless the “data center” is his garage. Then again, paying for no more than 1 five of uptime seems on brand.
