I've been on here so long I remember when LPSG.ORG was BLUE! Then went that beige-brown. Server took a shit and had to reregister - I swear I was on here in at least 2000/2001. Then it had the current type of layout then the hyperactive live update of everything and back to this kind of layout.
The stories in the blue and beige-brown days were always interesting. It either totally outlandish tales or how can I do XYZ sex position and underwear/clothes help (because not everyone wants to show a bulge in work slacks). It was more personal and concentrated less on porn stars and more on actual humans living life.
Outlandish tales you say? The one user who said his dick kept growing because of a disorder. Not his body just his penis, last I remember him posting it was 14" long. (The disorder he allegedly had didn't work that way... hooray google and medical papers). Another user was very very proud of his giant schlong but on another site it was also clearly him and authored several stories about growth transformation (take a potion and you grow or shrink and listed stats there - yeah faker) Other posts that kept coming up were 'Have you ever seen (insert creep factor) naked?' 'Have you ever done anything with your (insert creepiness)'. The obvious fakers 'I have a 15 inch dick measured on the TOPside guys!' And there was more than one! Later there were the 10 posts a day about finding condoms ('The Ultimate Condom Thread' thread that stopped alot of those threads.)
There were posters and there were chatters, and the crossover people were nigh! The chat was TEXT ONLY JAVA CHAT with the horrible gray background and updated to the older video chat with drawing feature! There were some amazing pics that people created in that little box. Also interesting on one of the first days of the video chat one of the first people to enable video (by accident of course) was a "female" name and the look on the guy's face when he realized he was live on camera was
priceless
-was a catfisher.
It was a chatroom that just happened to be on an adult site. Does having to ask 'ASL?' ring a bell for anyone? The stuff about pop culture, life's quandries and miseries, what a person was doing in their work and life. You met friends and pests.
I was a chatter for years before gently tipping my toes into posting. Had some interesting conversations in chat and really got to know some people through their words and minds not for alleged dick size or how hot they were. Sure it was a shock when you saw some people and go holy shit complete combo brains, face, body and dick size. Others you got to know as friends, literally friends that you could hang out with. I hope people aren't so shallow as to only want only attractive friends. Actual friends you don't want to screw but just want to be around.
There were also complete pests and the usual internet crazy. The people who seem to be on crack and posting 'Anyone want to chat about doing xyz with abc?' every 30 seconds and that's all they would post in chat in the open. The guy with the memory of a gnat who would chat to you one day and completely forget you already told him to buzz off the day before and the day before that, and eventually messaged you again and again and then you'd just let him go on and on.. and he had a different story about what he looked like every time. The multiple usernames of a few people who could seemingly be both boyfriend and his own girlfriend.
(gee that wasn't too hard to figure out the faker). The one chatter who "died" but yet there was not a single article in the newspaper about the alleged event or obituary notice that anyone could find. Small down newspapers would report on things like that. Also the pic he used as "his" was at least 5 years old when he posted it, but it was "just taken last month". It was
nice of his friend to join and tell everyone about it and become a regular for a while...(SARCASM)
(No it wasn't the poster who "died" then his "brother" joined, then "student" joined and then actually did die.)
The flame wars of the posters really could be off putting. But then in another thread be totally civil and friendly, guess that's the love/hate affair people have. The worst that could happen when you were posting person was to be the dreaded thread killer! You know the last person to post something in a thread and then nobody responded after yours?
Pictures were initially free if I remember correctly and all were watermarked with LPSG.ORG on them. Or maybe you could view 1 picture or 10 pictures a day for free. Then it went to a pay to see any pix. Anyone else think that a charge for buying a hand cream on your credit card statement was odd? To an online store that had a cheesy as hell website that screamed fake? Then get an actual telephone call asking you to stop contesting the charges because you actually did buy something online but it was 'discreetly billed'? Then calling your credit card company -'OOoops sorry I did buy that after all.' And sending oops sorry private message?

The boards were dominated by the literati/brain trust posts as I call them. Well thought out multiple paragraphs using big words! There were quite a few professional writers, university/college professors, and generally smart, articulate, literate folks around. Due to all the fakers and opposing views it got to the point of cite your sources or the lovely smiley :bsflag: ! Begin hunt for a source to back up what was just said or picture hijacked from somewhere. Multiple paragraphs formatted with ordered lists and heavy with links. People were extremely quick witted and wouldn't hesitate to smack you down for grammarian errors! Thought provoking takes on things you never even thought about and then a minute later read about "Wanting A Baby In My Asswomb' It was goofy and fun.
One of the upgrades from the BBS style format KILLED all the smileys. Nothing like posting
when you absolutely knew a thread was going to go to absolute shit of flame wars because what was just asked or posted was - just well insane!
Time does move on unfortunately and the board was much smaller and more of actual niche interest. You didn't get as many search results looking for porn stars and diluting the quality of the writers and frankly people finding "US" - our little digital refuge in cyberspace for geeky folks who happened to have or be interested in large penises.
