Squanto is right. That's why I said maybe Viventi could fill us in.
It's long story and goes back to lawsuits and such I believe.

Weren't the Rangers the ones that had the boards that you had to pay for to use? That probably has something to do with it.

I know the Rangers were pissed when the NHL tried to take over their homepage and make it all one also.

And didn't the Rangers sue the NHL for it?

Back when each team did their own thing, the Rangers didn't want to run their own team boards, so they linked to a major fan created one. Eventually they bought that site and integrated it with their site a little better.

The NHL then mandated that each team had to have an integrated web site design to fit in with the NHL.com network. The Rangers sued under anti-trust grounds, since they wanted to retain full control of their website since it was so profitable.

They lost that suit, and had to convert the main website format. I believe they settled on the message boards thing, but I'd have to dig up the story on that to be sure.

Interesting, I've always wondered why things were so different with them.

IPB is so much better, it is probably the biggest forum software out there.

almost every board I go to uses that format.
