There are many places to discuss sports these days, specifically Jaguars football which we all are (I assume) mostly interested in. I'm a participant in duvalpride.com, twitter (x), reddit, and the Jags Facebook group as well as a couple of the media sites. I've always been most a fan of the message forum style of communicating though and so I was happy when Duval Pride came on line after the original Jaguars message board got dropped by the team. It's a good community and a good message board but they've been experiencing a few performance and availability issues the last few months. So when it last went offline, there were rumors that it was down for good and I decided to create this site as an alternative.

Fortunately, it looks like DuvalPride has returned to service which probably renders this forum redundant, however since I already put it together, I plan to keep it up as an alternative for the time being. I've decided that if it does get some traffic with likeminded Jags fans, I'll keep it going and try to improve and maintain it. At worst, it's an alternative message forum if Duval Pride is experiencing issues or if the web site eventually does go offline for good.

If you've registered, I thank you. Feel free to post a message and spread the word about the new forum. If I get enough traffic, I'll put it in a dedicated domain and continue to maintain and improve things.

Thanks for reading!
