RIP LL.

Until I read the first page of this post I had no idea some of the mods on this site actually knew each other personally. In a way it kind of explains some things I've seen and read over the years.

I always remember him being a pretty funny mod on here and seeing that unique avatar he used. May he RIP.

Does anyone know his family situation and if all is good there?

So I’ll consider it a honor and a privilege to be the last member that Larry band and it was permanent at that.

No hard feelings here Larry it’s just the interwebz and I never took anything that came from here seriously so do not haunt me from above.


RIP.

Imagine that, @BrunotheBoxer having a memory with a moderator that involves him being banned.

Lightning Larry was one of the names I remembered seeing years back in threads when doing Google searches. He spent a lot of time on here.

Ouch, that sucks. My condolences to those who counted him as a friend.

Wow, sad day in SVTP history....

I had quite a few run-ins with LL back in the good ol days from '04-08. He had quite a temper and way of doing things on here, and I never saw eye to eye with him. Got to talking with him again on here around the 2010 era. A lot of conversations and even a few bets in the football section of SD. He really changed over the years, and i actually got to respect him and like him. RIP

This is a sad event. Lol, he banned me once and when I waited the ban out I logged on. By time I went to the Late Night Crew I was banned again. Before I could even post a, hey I am back fellas. Boom the hammereth struck like lightning.

OK Bozos, stop clowning around.

A bunch of us are very good friends. Surprised, maybe. The interesting thing is, we rarely talk about the site. Barry and I talk close to weekly most of the time.

Larry and his moderating style was instrumental in keeping the peace on this forum back in the day. Other sites were created, some did well some went away quickly, but with Larry's help this place always held strong. He also helped me through some dark times in my younger years, and I'm kind of embarrassed to admit that I had not talked to him in years and never made the effort to go visit him. RIP my friend, I hope you're in a better place now.

A funny story that I said I’d mention earlier. Pretty sure a just got the super mod deal. It was maybe 6 years ago ( honestly not sure how I’ve been a mod). We were all going back and forth messing around in a separate section, changing avatars, sayings and other shit. This around Christmas time. Larry banned me. He tried to fix it, but didn’t have enough authority to do it. Ended up having to call Travis later in the evening. It didn’t go over great with boss. We’d **** with other a bunch. Great fun and memories. @SID297, y’all remember that one?
I have more that I’ll share in time.

Great to read about some of Larry's escapades and other stories. Brings smiles to our faces I hope, helping erase the sadness of his passing. If there was anything he'd want SVTP members to do after he passed, it would be to share memories, joke around, and laugh like a clown (pun intended).

I never got banned by Larry, but he did ask me to take down a picture I posted. It was titled "how to welcome your husband home from work," or something like that. When he'd get in "moderator mode," like Outlaw said, he would say, "Boy!" It was usually the start of a good thread. I'm gonna miss you Mr. Pirate. More than you'll ever know.
