The History of BGP

Featured Replies

So I was wondering how the whole thing got started. Was it the brainchild of theguru or did other moderators influence the idea? When did it all start? (Do you regret it, guru :fire:) Who were the first members? Who has been here the longest?

Great post. I would also find this information very interesting.

 

Also, out of curiousity, about how many members do you have to suspend and what are the most common reasons?

Yeah what sparked this great interest to making this site?

There is at least one audio link in the football forum that answers the questions about the start of BGP.

 

On member problems, we probably deal with somewhere between 10 and 20 members per day on rule violations. As far as suspensions go, I would say rule #2 casts the widest net.

Hard to imagine but I've been on here for almost 7 years.

How did all of you early guys, (DragonFire, newarkcatholic, statsmanhensely) hear about BGP?

I'm coming up on seven years.

 

I can tell you one piece of BGP history. Guru came up with this idea (in the summer of 2000) all on his own. He saw that this was something that was sorely needed in Kentucky. He started with just a handful of posters, and the site grew with leaps and bounds to become what it is today. Much of the credit for that success goes to our great BGP family. :thumb:

Well said BF....:thumb: and the Members, are BGP.

 

Give 'Ru the credit for the vision and endless hours, he devotes.

I've been here since 2002. Well...off and on since 2002. :D

I really wish I would have joined several years ago when I first found the site. BUT I'm here now and enjoying every minute of it.

 

It's fun to use the search feature, of the 111 people that joined the site in January 2007, only 5 of us have over 1,000 posts. Only two of us have over 5,000 posts. Maybe I need a hobby. :lol:

Someone posted it on a competing site, and that's how I found out about it. At that point it wasn't BluegrassPreps.com. I think it was still called BluegrassPreps, but it was just an EZBoard forum. That was in November 2000. Not long after that, it was launched in full website form.

And you can thank the Trinity, Highlands and Belfry contingents for providing about 1/2 of the entire site's population. :lol:
