So, what did LPSG start out as?

Have heard it a few times before from different places. But I need detail. Pictures if it helps ...:) :)


Yeah, yeah. A piece of Krypton fell to earth....blah, blah. Then there was rob.

So..., I heard it was a place for drunks to come when they could not catch a cab?

Not sure, but this following link is what brought me to LPSG link the first place....

Ok, a Wookie link :)...Spose it could be related to an exploding planet, of sorts :)

If you're wondering about the name "LPSG", it actually started more than 10 years ago as a joke by two college students but before that and well before LPSG´s former owner, Marc, there were a number of different message boards which kept crashing as soon as they started to build up traffic.
As we all already know, the subject of penis size and everything related to it, is something that most of us are thinking about quite a lot, hence the popularity of today´s LPSG.

I once saw the original site back in '99: http://web.archive.org/web/199905080.../www.lpsg.org/

At first it had just an e-mail account, but an actual community started on Undernet in 2000: http://web.archive.org/web/200003011...tp://lpsg.org/
Later that year, the funnies expanded: http://web.archive.org/web/200005170...on.html#Events
Still later that year, the first of several forums opened, but pix were not allowed: http://web.archive.org/web/200008170...sg.org/forums/

Then in the early '01 it was briefly taken over by a cybersquatter making a landing page about carpet, probably because the early LPSG wasn't able to pay its server bill: http://web.archive.org/web/200103310...www2.lpsg.org/

The budding forum was in trouble: http://web.archive.org/web/200104181.../www.lpsg.org/
It then lost its hosting but kept the domain name and redirected to a free forum provider in 2002: http://pub59.ezboard.com/blargepenissupportgroup
After that forum went under, it redirected here: www.onlynameleft.com

Later in 2002 it started to get back on track, first with a placeholder page: http://web.archive.org/web/200209291.../www.lpsg.org/

In 2003, it re-opened, and its disclaimer showed that now pix would be permitted; however, its YaBB-based forum was blocked from search engines and archivers: http://web.archive.org/web/200306081.../www.lpsg.org/

By 2004, the site had the forum structure it largely has now, and it used IPB: http://web.archive.org/web/200405280...psg.org/forum/

Late in 2005, the forum switched to vBulletin: http://web.archive.org/web/200511240...psg.org/forum/
Later that year, the forums were hosted on the main page, just as they are now, and a major site redesign was finished: http://web.archive.org/web/200512310.../www.lpsg.org/

A design near the current one was finished around March 2007: http://web.archive.org/web/200703041...www.lpsg.org/?
In June 2008, the vBulletin copyright notice was removed: http://web.archive.org/web/200806151.../www.lpsg.org/
In April 2009, the site experimented with a tag cloud and removed the vBSEO copyright notice: http://web.archive.org/web/200904080.../www.lpsg.org/
In May 2009, the tag cloud was removed and the site design was basically what it is today: http://web.archive.org/web/200905131.../www.lpsg.org/
Another element was added in April 2010, the addition of the "Sex Forums" link in the footer: http://web.archive.org/web/201004232.../www.lpsg.org/
In 2011, the site had its current theme: http://web.archive.org/web/201101012.../www.lpsg.org/
This is the latest capture of the homepage from archive.org, about 3/4 of a year ago: http://web.archive.org/web/201107260.../www.lpsg.org/
