im at 39k but i had a ton under "Pghfan" and Swervin27 too. i cant remember if it started over with a new username or not though.
A note on the future of Panther-Lair.com
- Thread starter Chris Peak
- Start date
I couldn’t believe you saps paid for this sight .
It’s like the Elon Simps
Why isn't it surprising that a Pitt message board would just quit without much notice and fade into obscurity? Seems appropriate.
While there have been legit dickheads on here, I enjoyed most of the shtick from the posters here. God Speed boys.
So, if I'm not mistaken, the Pitt Rivals site (presumably under a new name) will still exist under a new moderator? So Pittsburgh.Rivals.Com should still work; it just won't be called Pantherlair and Chris Peak won't be the one running the show. Seems like not a whole lot would change, then, under those circumstances. Particularly on the free board.
I apologize if this is a stupid question, but why is this site closing \moving? Is Mr Peak no longer interested in moderating a free site or is there a reason it's ceasing to exist as presently set-up? I've always enjoyed reading posts here, posters are knowledgeable and sensible for the most part.
That’s what happened when Tom McAndrew left Rivals to join either On3 or 247Sports. Blue & White Illustrated simply changed to Happy Valley Insider and the message boards remained the same.
I'm pretty sure he "leases" (for lack of a better term) the Rivals platform, and I assume they issue him a 1099 based on subscriber revenue. So I'm guessing that lease has just expired and he's opting to take his talents elsewhere (sounds like 247). So this place should still exist but with someone else calling the shots. I don't think all the activity is going to be deleted tonight at midnight or anything, but I could be way off on that.
Did the message board "reset?" Like did the wipe out all the posts prior to that change?
No, it looks like those all remained the same, including posts/thread made by the former admin.
So it sounds like it'll be business as usual, then, aside from being able to access the site via the Panther-Lair.Com URL, which I never had any luck with anyway.
I wasn’t around then so I can’t confirm this, but I’d guess that URL is the original site from before he joined Rivals in 2001.
So it seems that a message board for Pitt on Rivals will be around starting at midnight. Peak is probably going to 24/7 sports and taking Pantherlair name.
My guess is that it will just be called Pitt Message board or something like that.

It's like losing the Library of Alexandria!
Cause Souf and SMF don't make enough money to pay for subscriptions.
Great let Jim PL Pantherlair bring back all that wonderful content he provided.
We have families .
So don’t need to pay to post about HS kids
That’s for you , OAGP, and Wyndell !
