HF rant thread

MindzEye said:
You honestly don't see the inconvenience for the user to sit there and think about which topic I'm discussing and what board it belongs on? Go and look at our board right now and ask yourself how many of the threads would be tossed onto other boards. I have no desire to be moving all over the site to discuss politics, etc. If I was going to do that, I'd just find a politics board to post on.

habs board on here basically did that and now nobody talks OT as nobody goes to that board

Of course I see it.

Still it was a massive overreaction.
 
The overreaction was on their part to not backing down, once it was voiced by the community how important it was for us to continue the tradition of having all our OT threads on the same board as our hockey discussions.

Once they drew a line in the sand on that, and Habsy started up FI...the decision was pretty obvious. Hindsight shows it was clearly the right one too.
 
Yeah, that board is extremely over moderated and done by a bunch of complete reactionary idiots. Hard to believe it has the traffic it gets with that going on.

The thing I miss most about our original days on hockeyboards is competing team fans from across the NHL (that used to be a total gas) and broader diversity of opinions on the Leafs forum, as well as regular updates and traffic.

Why though? We have a site trying to use us to farm clicks and content for the rest of their site, which none of us had an interest in. So we left for a site that would let us post how we wanted to.

We tried to deal with site administration to work out our issues and got treated like shit...leaving when you're treated like shit by site administration is an over reaction? What kind of punk shit is this?
 
They started in on the Habs board over there first. Me being me I started challenging the powers that be about it and got banned. So a bunch of us Habs fans talked about it and we said **** it and started our own site. Like most of you, we hate over moderation too. We realized we wouldn't grow large with the characters we have here but didn't really care. I still don't care if the site is small, I like it.
 
While I miss a bit of the traffic you get from having a few other teams with good followings here, I don't miss the juvenile baiting and general hate-first type of conversations.

Wasn't it more of a shotgun wedding that had you guys join TSB in the first place? I seem to remember a number of you didn't want to move away from Scout & were fairly vocal about it. I *think* Habdul (probably a number of others as well) refused to join TSB because of this.

A 'forced marriage' like that was probably doomed to failure.

That's how it started yes.

Yeah, I still choose here because quality > quantity. There's only so much stupidity I can handle.

Why not, I posted on it before you left.

I could be wrong, but outside of spammers, the only Sens poster I can think of that was perma-banned was 'BlackRedGold' (I *think* that was the username but we are talking about something like 10 years ago)....

Didn't teeds essentially ban himself?

And I'm pretty sure KB still posts around here occasionally under a new name.

I remember Corksens going apeshit on here after being banned. Kept creating new names and pleading his way back on. heh
