The adhominem attacks for anyone that doesn't go along with the groupthink on this site is why the posters with good info have left this site years ago.
Who were the posters with good info who left?
ADS and PaulCrewe both used to post all the time. Now, not much. da skers along with a few others.
This is true and not true. methodical is making a claim about people who have left years ago. da skers was active through 2013, and ADS/Crewe still post to this day. ADS & Crewe can speak for themselves about why they post less often, but as I recall it corresponded more with EZ-E's ban than with the chaos of the board in Pelini's final year.
Having said that, I've been told by numerous members that they post less because of the chaos, and they've named specific people as perpetrators of that chaos. I, personally, posted less in 2014 than I had the previous several years, and, like many people, I specifically avoided the Football Forum as much as possible because I was tired of the same arguments from the same people over & over.
Regarding methodical's claim that "posters with good info" don't post here anymore, that's crap. Some people don't post here anymore, true, but we get new members almost daily, some with great insights & unique perspectives. What is unequivocal is that there is nothing on other boards that is not on HuskerBoard. Further, it's often here first. Further still, many of the "insiders" I see on other boards are often wrong - and to be fair, self-labeled "insiders" here are often wrong as well.
HuskerBoard is not immune to problems, or problem members. Every board has them, and every board has people who launch ad hom attacks. Such things are more rampant at other message boards, but that's cyclical as well.
Bottom line, nobody is forced to post here. Nobody, and I mean *nobody* is irreplaceable here at HuskerBoard, or any other board. Claiming "the good posters" don't post here anymore reeks more of a personal gripe than anything else.
It's a privilege to be a member here. It's the best Nebraska message board on the internet, it's free, and because of that it has the best flow of information and discussions of any board, period. So if someone wants to claim how bad this place is (methodical), they're welcome to make good on that claim and leave.
