I think it should be free and unfettered open access to all people, of any club.

If they misbehave, the JA mods can waste them.

Open forums breathe better.

Friends on JA, open your hearts and minds to your footy comrades supporting other clubs.

Theres a lot of interest in sgi out there in clubland. A lot of challenges people are enjoying watching from afar. Welcome them.

Nah, we have to keep the riff-raff out. Or keep them in, depending on your perspective.

Sorry this is irrelevant but it's solely because I don't know where else to ask - for some reason, I can't like or react to posts? All I have is:

Apparently it has to do with you running adblocker software with your browser on any of your devices. Whitelist forums.leagueunlimited.com on all your devices and eventually the reaction button comes back. Then you can react, and also enjoy the great ads!

That’s very strange.

Try turning the machine off and on a few times, log out and in etc.

I have cleared up plenty of issues with basic measures.

I don’t recommend ad blocker on Lu because it keeps admin in donuts. Try to press on a few ads a day.

It's because you have an ad blocker.

Ads pay the monthly bills and enable the site to stay online. Thanks for your support.

The open forums are where anyone can have their say.

The JA forum pre-dates LU by a considerable period of time, and it is made up of St George supporters. I was on the original forum, and I quite like the restrictions. I can always go to the main sites.

It still gets heated in JA, especially now, but there was time when a certain coach managed to galvanise all forum members as one in their absolute loathing of him and his coaching methods.

Unless you would like an increase in your water bills due to the amount of showers you will have to take after spending time in that cesspool, you are not missing out on much.

So we won't we seeing you in the cesspool any time soon? That cuts me up.

I cant access JA either. Same issues as others. Has the mystery been resolved?

Actually, the forerunner of LU and JA forums started at about the same time. But the original JA website predates both.

1997: Glenn Baker starts Jubilee Avenue website, providing weekly updates for supporters. He backs this with an email group. I got to know Glenn via my site SOTV in 1998.
2000-2002: Jubilee Avenue moves to World of Rugby League (WORL), hosted by NineMSN and managed by Canterbury supporter Matthew O'Neil (matto). It had discussion forums and those in the old email group started posting there. WORL included fans from loads of Clubs but I think it's fair to say the majority were Saints and Canterbury supporters. Glenn continued to write on the new Jubilee Avenue website.
2001-2002: An interesting time. A breakaway group of supporters basically revolted over matto's style of management and moderating. I recall him saying words to the effect that if you don't like, then piss off.
So we pissed off and formed LWOS. By "we" I mean six posters. Hosted on NineMSN as well.
LWOS was the forerunner to LU.
Around the same time matto set up Rleague and his Grandstand forums. But most Saints fans at WORL preferred to stay put, so it became Jubilee Avenue (although posters continued to refer to it as WORL).
Meanwhile LWOS was growing and ready for a makeover. LU was instigated but it took a few format changes before we settled on this 'look'.
2003-2007: A number of weird things happened during this period but basically it saw the beginning of the demise of Rleague and Grandstand, Glenn left Rleague and LU became the host for his website.
In May 2003, LU settled into this forum format. By now it had grown from six original members to thousands.
When NineMSN announced the scrapping of their communities, LU made an offer to the WORL / Jubilee Avenue posters to move over to The Front Row forums here on LU.
It was put to the vote in 2007 and here we are.
Thanks to Coby, all the old posts from WORL were migrated over. It was no mean feat.

What's interesting is that JA has been hosted on LU for much longer than WORL.

Excellent history lesson. Much appreciated.

I think I originally joined in about 1998. I certainly remember sone degree of comfort with fellow supporters after the 99 GF.

That is a great trip down memory lane. I was on the original email group & first couple of iterations but faded out as marriage& kids took over.

@Willow - the was one poster that I always remember - 'Fortae'. Is he still around?? I ask because he was a bit of a know all, but he was spot on in relation to the up & coming juniors.

I remember him letting the group know about Ashton Simms little brothers being recruited by the Bronco's when they were only just entering junior reps.

I think there may have been a bulletin board around that time. There were a few chat rooms too. Plus the St George E-Group, which was still going up until recently, I think it was hosted on Yahoo but they canned that format just a couple of years ago. We have a few current posters who contributed to that.

He was always too smart for us mere mortals. lol.
Fortae was around during the transition from NineMSN to LU. I recall he wasn't happy about JA being hosted here, he preferred a different host (that no longer exists).
He stopped posting about 10 years ago.
