Thank You for all you have done. I remember just wanting to look up some Nebraska recruiting information and Huskerboard was the first thing that popped up. Huskerboard is now like one big family to me and many others. I know this board will be in good hands going forward. Thank you once again.

Don't post very often, but this about sums me up as well.

I appreciate the opportunity that Chad and the owners of Husker Board have given me by reaching out and offering to sell Husker Board to me. As Chad has stated they want to focus more time on their young families. They have built a quality community and I want to keep it intact. We have had conversations in the past about selling/buying the board and this time it seemed like the right time for both of us. After some back and forth negotiating we came to terms and both sides feel that we got a good deal. 

 

There will be some immediate changes and some things will remain the same. For starters this will always be a free to register and post board. There will be advertising on the site to support the site financially and there will be news articles posted from writers at HuskerMax along with the schedule widget. I am not encouraging Husker Board members to join the HuskerMax board and I am not encouraging HuskerMax members to join Husker Board. They are two separate and distinct communities and should remain that way. 

 

The most immediate change will be migrating the site from the current BBS software to Xenforo which will happen before the first game this Saturday against South Alabama. I have spoken to Mavric and will be speaking to other current moderators and get their input and ask them to continue supporting the board with their moderating. I look forward to continue to build on what Chad's group has created for the past 16 years and make it a top notch Husker online community for years to come.

 

Would like to meet posters here in person and you are welcome to stop by and say hello at Marlin's tailgate at the corner of 8th and N this Saturday. I will be there with Rich Glover before and after the game. If you plan on stopping by please reply to this thread with the number of people so Marlin can have enough food and drink available. There is no charge and a donation jar to help Marlin pay for food and drink will be available.

You don't seem so tough.

I want to thank Chad for everything he's done. 

 

I still don't understand why this is necessary. Many here (myself included) have a software engineering/webmaster/something similar background. Was the cost of running the site prohibitive? I'm positive we could have found a way to keep this site running as is with new leadership. I'm sad.

I imagine it's more about Chad getting a payday than anything.
