Remember when the lounge used to be semi-decent?

I'm no fan of Cricket but the Lounge went to shit due to overzealous moderation, the presence of other chat mediums and the populace aging out, not because of Cricket. Cricket's harmless.

The Lounge went to shit due to none other than the person who was involved in causing two mass exodus.
I go back to 2005, and as a lurker back to 2003. The original exodus, the mass bannings that occurred around the time of HFBroads creation (eliminating many of the OG Lounge posters) started around that time and reached its peak around 2007. That's more of what I was referring to. Your generation of posters has more chat options than mine did at least.

The Lounge is awful now and the UT is a shadow of its former self. I may return to it some day but I might also be done for good. If it weren't for the football boards I might have deleted my account by now tbh since I watch almost no hockey anymore.

The lounge turned to shit about 10 years ago.

Sorry but the lounge used to be about something now there is not a single usefull thread.

Back in the day there used to be a travel thread that was great about where to go, what to see and how to save money.

The lounge is just about padding post count now

another issue is that people are less interested in message boards and more enamored with reddit. plus you have shit like "it's meme day" or whatever the caps do with that Wednesday crap. on hf such insolence would not be permitted

it's weird too because r/hockey is astronomically worse than hf
