Welcome! - Steve - 06-04-2026
Does it look decent? I'm hoping it looks decent.
Anyway, I'm truly hoping everyone makes the jump over here, even those who are rightfully un-enamored with "LSU-New Orleans." Even if it's just to pop in and reminisce. This site's focus has always been on nostalgia and tradition.
For those wondering... why? "The old forum was perfectly good!" Well, yes and no. It was functional, but it has been my desire for several years now to modernize our entire setup. And it has always been my vision to tie the forum and the main site together, and boy was that not possible with Tapatalk. So not possible that the forum faceplanted for two days (during an AD hire!) when I tried to inject the tiniest bit of modernity into it.
I really feel like this is the best way going forward. If you guys vehemently disagree, that's fine. Otherwise, Tapatalk will be sunsetted into read-only shortly (but will be maintained as our forum archive).
So, look around here, register, and feel free to click that link above to peek at the revamped main site now and again. I am feeling a little bit rejuvenated in terms of posting more than just courtesy updates to it.

This looks like a cleaner, less clunky, upgrade. The color scheme will be comforting as we navigate the future.
I’ve been a lurker on the old site, having forgotten my old password and being lazy. Will weigh in a bit more going forward.

I kind of suspected that was the case for a few people, as sometimes Tapatalk could get weird about logins. Even for an admin. Welcome and I hope there are a few more like you!
