Yes, personal data will be collected. 

 

Can you elaborate what this means?

Chad, 

 

Just wanted to say thanks for all you've done to give all of us Husker fans a home for so long. I can easily say that without the forum here, my passion for the team and for the people who support the team would not be nearly as strong. 

 

David, 

 

Welcome aboard. Looking forward to seeing what happens as the worlds merge.

Do I include my ATM codes or should I wait until they ask for it?

They already have it....

 

And after they get done laughing at what they see, they will probably just give it back to you.

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. 

 

 

 

Sounds like a fun time!

I came here in 2012 from another board that was constantly negative.  I found this to be a good balance of people who can discuss things Husker related and wasn't just one big whiny bitch fest.  I am greatly appreciative of that and have found this to be the best Husker board on the web.

 

David,

 

I have used your site for Husker information for a long time.  I'm sure you are going to do a great job with this site also.  

 

It's always frustrating for a number of members when software changes on a site like this.  We are all so used to how this board works, it's just natural.  However, everyone needs to think back to the last time this updated.  There was a lot of confusion and frustration.  It all works out and we will grow to know the new board just the same.  There will be some we really like and some we won't.  But, that's the same with this one too.

 

Good Luck and GO BIG RED!!!!

I'm just going to curl into the fetal position and have @Mavric whisper quiet, soothing words to me until it's all over.

The typical data that advertisers and Google collect. We use Google Analytics and will be posting the privacy policy with the bbs software update which I have been informed by the developer will be tomorrow morning.

Thank you for providing me with my one addiction that isn't harmful to myself or others. This is a multiple daily visit, can't be a better board anywhere.
