I'll pay $1/month if we can go back to more than 15 posts per page. Good god this is awful. 5 Quote Link to comment

But with the last software upgrade, that option was taken away. Quote Link to comment

Sorry, I couldn't pass that up - I lurked at HuskerMax off and on for years, but never joined due to certain individuals styles of moderation - I could tell people would get annoyed and leave due to the approach. I hate going there now - the ads are excessive. I guess I'll have to look at leaving here. I was never a significant poster, but I certainly read a lot of the threads. I would try to contribute occasionally. Oh well, nothing is forever. As long as this doesn't become HMax 2 ("the ads are everywhere" version) I'll stick around. Otherwise, time to look for something else, I guess. Yep! It gets to be too much group think and “think this way approach.” Sucked the fun out of it for me. 1 Quote Link to comment
Apsu Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Like it or not, we live in a capitalistic society. HuskerMax (and before it HuskerPedia) were build to make a profit through advertising and an annual fee. HuskerBoard was a property that was undervalued, because of the lack of advertising on this site. David Max acquired this site for money to make a profit, and he will put advertising here. The best we can hope for is that Huskermax moderators are not brought here. He is the Gordon Gecko of Husker message boards. 1 Quote Link to comment

And, unfortunately, if that happens, I think I might need to go elsewhere or maybe try my hand at starting my own. Quote Link to comment
funhusker Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I haven’t tried to access on a computer since the sell, maybe it will be better. But the ads and low number of posts per page are annoying on my phone. Plus,every ad I’ve seen I’ve closed and selected not interested as my reasons. If we’re going to pedal stuff here, at least make it something I’m interested in. FFS: NRA, Weighwatchers, some franchise consulting firm???? Quote Link to comment
funhusker Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 There is literally an ad on the bottom of my phone right now trying to sell me VT Hokie gear. C’mon man!!!! Quote Link to comment
funhusker Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I’m going to stay because there is nowhere else to go for now that I feel as comfortable as I felt here. But, @Landlord, don’t forget to share your site if you choose to start one. I’ll follow. 1 Quote Link to comment

Dansker Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 If HuskerMax mods come here to moderate, there's going to be a purge. I enjoy the contributions from many on this board. A lot of good friendly discussions and people who have been around for a while. We also get random non-Husker fans come on here and engage in some good discussions. Would hate to see that disappear. 1 Quote Link to comment

Ulty Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Just curious...with the amount of grumbling from valued HB members on these threads and in the status updates, how much potential revenue can this site actually generate with all of the ads that are popping up? Are any of the web-savvy folks here able to roughly estimate the number of clicks, ads, and money that is at stake? What is a typical ad-click worth? How many hits does Huskerboard get on an annual basis? With this board suddenly becoming less attractive and more cumbersome to use, is the ad revenue worth hundreds? Thousands? Millions? What does it cost to maintain a site like this? I don't have a big problem with the changes so far, minor annoyances more than anything. But a lot of people sure are getting pissed off. Is it worth it? 1 Quote Link to comment
