NOW THEY JUST NEED TO CHANGE THE SETTINGS SUCH THAT EVERYTHING DEFAULTS TO CAPS, TOO.

HFBOARDS IS FUNNIER WHEN YOU IMAGINE EVERYBODY CONSTANTLY YELLING AT EACH OTHER.

That's how I hear HFJets posts after a loss anyway.

Whatever it was, things are back to normal. Admins being suspiciously quiet about all this. Russian hack, I wonder?

I personally hold Gin 100 per cent responsible for all problems I have on the site.

Well, my generation was taught to take responsibility for our failures.

I never was very good at taking instruction.

need some advice. I do a little volunteering with immigrants and refugees. one young couple want to take up skating this year and were asking me about skate sizes, in relation to their shoe sizes. any rule of thumb there? also any place you would recommend for decent new skates that don't break the bank? I don't imagine most retailers would measure the customer..
any advice would be appreciated. they are from Brazil by the way

They should go to SportChek or Canadian Tire or somewhere and try some on. At least try a few pairs on and find their approximate size and ballpark prices and then maybe look for some used on Kijiji. Typically a couple of sizes smaller than their shoe size I think. The Forks rents skates too when the river trail season is underway...so they can try it out before dropping any real money. Skate around the pavilion a bit there. Rental skates are pretty uncomfortable though (at least from what I recall in Ottawa the last time I rented skates).

Tell them to go to Play it Again Sports. They will measure skate sizes, and they have used skates that are really cheap. Or at least as cheap as you will find skates for sure. The one I know of is down on St. Annes almost to perimeter (corner of St Annes and Southglen)

And rule of thumb is a couple of sizes smaller. I wear an 11 shoe, 9 in skates. But the people at Play it Again will be able to talk them through how skates should fit and what not.

Wonder if anyone else has noticed that HFBoards is blocked by the ISP in Air Canada lounges (Datavalet) for inappropriate content. Sip can be a bit grumpy, but I'd say that's going a bit too far...

Would any one have any interest in a Winnipeg Jets NHL.tv one year package for half the price (60$) I paid it for? I just want to put into the hands of someone that would appreciate it more than me. Message me if your interested.

Perhaps because of their politics forum?

Holy crap, what a news day.

The ISP notice says it's being blocked for "nudity". Maybe it's Guffman's avatar... I wouldn't want children to see that...

Some posters do have scantily clad "babe avatars" but I think that's stretching the definition of nudity.

It's because of the switch to the mandatory.com domain - there are some ... interesting properties that Crave Online has on that domain. If you want to help expedite the process of getting HF unblocked, sign up for an OpenDNS account and vote to get us added to the Sports Category:

OpenDNS Community > Domain Tagging > Details for hfboards.mandatory.com

"babe avatars" are against the rules. They are not allowed and will be dealt with.

There should be some sort of avatar awards on here. That has to qualify as award worthy in either best or worst or even both.
