HFNYR: Board Appreciation Thread

Sorry I never got on this Train

Maybe you'd prefer Tina Turner's "Bold Soul Sister"?

As someone who has been part of college sports forums for 25 years or so, I can tell you that this place is so unfunny and so devoid of worthwhile discussion….and yet I keep coming back.

Stay cised.

Don't feel bad....I didn't know what it was either...finally looked it up.

From the "Urban Dictionary":

Cised: To be overjoyed or enthusiastic about something (e.g. a hip song, television show, that fly girl on the school bus), but trying to stay cool and aloof rather than show how overjoyed and enthusiastic one is; predominate usage peaks in junior high, ceases altogether by age 15.

Didn't realize that was a prerequisite.

The downfall started when Edge left (was ran out).

Bring back this legend…and get Jim Ross announce his return!

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Might want to get those underlying factors checked out?

Yeah, it’s called a witch hunt

I've posted here like twice in the last month and don't really plan on going back to how things were. There are some really great people here that I will always care for, but otherwise this place is more toxic than a Superfund site. After this season someone else can pick up the prospect thread, as well.

I’ve been here on and off for 20 years now. I go through periods of inactivity. The culture here is “I’d rather be right than happy” which takes a toll. Who wants to hang out with a bunch of sourpusses and “I told you so’s.” It’s not acceptable in public so why is it acceptable here? Anyway, see everyone in the next GDT.

I truly believe that mindset is the "online persona" of the posters. Even though i think the team sucks this year I want them to win and shut my garbage mouth up.

Well that sucks….. start ignoring people. Not worth it putting something down you like doing, presumably.

I am new, found the boards i guess at the beginning of the season, and was pretty amped to find some good hockey boards. I was an infrequent (<10x/season) poster on the BSB boards for a while and didn’t know where else to find people actually talking about hockey anymore.

As a fresh face with no idea about how anybody else gets along with anybody else, yeah, the last few PGTs (during a win streak!) brought down the collective IQ.

Mostly though, i have been actively telling all the hockey fan friends i have how great these boards are. Great boards are impossible without dedicated mods, modding is a sucky thankless endless job but is required to maintain a culture.

I find the culture of the boards generally positive. I see lots of “i might be wrong” and “yeah i was being a jerk” in threads with lots of back and forths, and lots of people constantly looking for another angle to advance their understandings. These are the types of attitudes that will keep the discussion moving forward even through weird times.

There are always ebbs and flows in the life of a community like this, better times and worse times for anyone’s personal style of engagement, etc.

I guess this is just a long winded thanks to everyone, and especially the mods, for this place still being a thing, and worth hanging out at.

I will go back to mostly frivolity now.

Most of the posters that were worth interacting with moved on and most of the ones left are probably the reason they’re gone and won’t come back. It’s a big reason (in a long list of reasons) I don’t post here anymore.

 

[DanielBrassard]

This place is great and truly one of the few places that actually can breakdown the sport at a level above novice. I know sometimes it can get heated but it’s never personal, at least not for me.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Great wacky group
Other team boards are very boring compared to ours and a lot of them are ghost towns
Love you guys, even @GoAwayPanarin

 

[NickyFotiu]

On behalf of this boards posters I'd like to thank myself as a powerful intelligent handsome man for taking the time to post on this NYR board.

Very sorry to hear. You're a real asset to the community. I hope you'll rethink your decision.

Wrong thread

 

[Bob Richards]

Either this place dies or I do. I don't think I could ever truly log off.

I do not block many people but there are a select few that I have blocked and I have never looked back. If anyone bothers you including myself I hope you use the block feature. Do not let other people annoy you to the point that you feel you have to leave.

Your welcome.
