You almost figure it to be a self correcting problem if enough people say "the heck with USCHO."
It isn't like much would be missed from the actual college hockey side of things as their rudimentary coverage is no better than the other, similar coverage that's out there for the sport. For schedules, stats, boxscores, things of that nature, College Hockey News is a far better option anyway. While they may have a little more coverage offered here in terms of weekly conference columns or similar items, it isn't as if any of it is any better or more informative than what can likely be gleaned from some of the threads on the D1 side of the forum. The quality of the actual reporting approaches that of an informed amateur in many instances, sometimes from even some of their longest tenured correspondents.
And while the content of the political and current events threads on the Cafe suffer from a little too much of an echo chamber effect (even if I agree with most of what many of the posters have to say) I do find it to be an actual, valuable source for news and commentary worth my time. I trust the filtering that a lot of the posters have done that I am too lazy to do.
Oh well, nothing good ever lasts.
