  • Question for members

    Does anybody care about teams outside their conference? I've noticed that there doesn't seem to be much interaction between members like there used to be only a few short seasons ago. What's changed?

    Good question. People are more insular. I know that the CCC guys seem to just stick to their own thread, and the NESCAC group has disappeared for the most part. I see a lot of bluster from the Oswego crew as usual, but overall there are a lot fewer active posters.

      This board has been dying a slow death for 10 years. There are so many other avenues to get information and talk with people now between twitter, instagram, text messaging, facebook and live video streaming.

      Today's generation communicates through social media tools like snapchat and text messages.

          I find twitter chaotic, and have no clue what instagram is or what snapchat is. I like a site where I can exchange ideas about a particular topic. The good thing about the decrease in traffic here is that at least the trolls don't show up as often.

              I agree with you wholeheartedly. But times change. If they didn't, we never would have had the Internet in the first place. Heck, we used to be all on the d3hockey email list. What was this web thing people kept talking about? Then, it killed the email list. The next change is now killing the web discussion boards.

                      Perhaps there's more reading than writing these days.

                        The thing -at least to me- is that Twitter eg doesn't permit a protracted rant. (!47 characters, or whatever?) Brevity isn't the soul of wit as to hockey, necessarily, and you never know who you'll run-into on Twitter.

                        We old-timers will keep this thing going until we can't. It's certainly not as a active as it once was, but it still features the best content, IMO.

                              It certainly doesn't help when the team you support sucks. Look at all the teams having "down" years, and the corresponding absence of threads dedicated to their teams. Seems that once your team goes into a funk, the posting momentum is lost forever.

                              Also, and probably more influential, the number of posters whose sole intent is to create flame-fests and ridicule others' opinions. There are/were a bunch of them from Lake Forest, Utica, Plattsburgh, Norwich, Potsdam & Elmira who collectively drove a number of us off the board. For each new opinionated, combative poster that joined, a more rationale poster would leave.
