I won't miss it, but since it's on it's last day, I thought I'd make a thread about it. :peace:


Anyone want to reminisce about that experience, this would be the place

In the current format the board is in, yep it's going down.

They created some goofy ass, facebook-like board to replace it, and everything else. It blows, to say the least.

Tomorrow is the day espn is to pull the plug on it.

I'm just glad I came here. Anyone that wants to talk sports like me esp hockey and football forget it over there.

There are a few posters left I would like to see come over but apparently they like the same babbling bullshit that goes on there and most of it (esp on the football board) is not even about the fucking sport so............fuckum!

I'm going to miss all the good Redwings posters that I could not talk into joining this board. They all said they weren't gonna move, but there's been no activity there in weeks by any of the old regulars.

(Talking about the Redwing board, not the General board)

What I find strange is even the posters when I peeked over there were ALL bitching about the new format. So maybe they don't want a board and as you said will "pull the plug" on it. For real.

It amazes how all the good hockey talk there used to be intermingled with trash. When you read the old board, it was like digging for fossils trying to find the quality discussions.

I love this place, especially during the season. SportsHoopla is light-years better than that swampy bog.

evolver the thing that sucks is it was basically a hand full of asshole posters that blew it up. There were a lot of good posters there.

The boards there have undergone changes numerous times and each time most users have hated the changes. I would not be surprised to see the majority of the posters that still use them to stay.

There are some Flyers posters I like, such as the following:

That place is such a tool shed. I almost stopped posting before we migrated over here.

Wait, maybe I shouldn't have told you all that or you might go back to Disney...
