How Did League Unlimited Start?

[jackyboi90]

I've only been helping out on this site since January and just wanted to know who got this website off the ground and how long it has been running? It's a real success and props to the people that keep it running.

As for who, well some know but as with most business, its also confidential.

Its been up and running in various formats since 2002 and thats to all with thanks to our hardworking volunteers (like yourself) and its been a huge success.

 

[God-King Dean]

I did.

Twizzle summed it up well Jack. Have a look in the Classic Threads forum for more. There is stuff there from forum members who started the ball rolling. FTR LU was never a business venture, but of course it has to be managed. Bottom line is that LU was started by Rugby League supporters and those foundations remain in place to this day.

 

[Twizzle]

I did.

You are the reason we introduced the NRL Cave, The Troll Shelter

 

[Suitman]

And there is your answer.

Suity

I thought Kody Delaney made it?

 

[Pierced Soul]

Hey Twizzle, why is it confidential?

 

[Twizzle]

The same as any business ownership is confidential if the owners want to remain so.

Its not like its a public company.

 

[Ojlovednicole]

Ha in that case probably Slothfield.

 

[legend]

Me and Willow started it.

A couple of league fans were sitting around having a drink...

Fan 1: Hey, do you post on rleague?
Fan 2: Yeah mate. All the time
Fan 1: Me too. Its cool to be able to talk league with a lot of like-minded fans
Fan 2: Sure is

*both take a sip of their beers*

Fan 1: Pity the bloke who runs it is such a giant douche
Fan 2: Yeah

*more beer sips*

Fan 1: Maybe we could start our own league site so we don't have to put up with that wanker?
Fan 2: That could work


And LU was born

It has certainly evolved quicker than that knuckle dragging ape-man Twizzle.

Bloody good site this...compared to other chat style sites.

 

[Parra]

Did any of it evolve from the old asrl Usenet lists? As in members, ideas?

 

[East Coast Tiger]

The truth is it was started by Australia's leading manufacturer of female genital toupees as a means of getting their product mentioned very regularly on the interweb and with their natural target market - rugby league nerds.

 

[Ojlovednicole]

That is very far fetched.
