Zilla - It may be worth while for me to send you the outline from the original complaint. It covers roughly 10 paragraphs and 18 issues! Any reply I received, has a disclaimer at the bottom stating information contained in this message is forbidden from being disseminated to anyone other than whom it was meant for

I don't know if anyone has the time to come up with a comprehensive list, but each team has handled it differently. The old official forums (Webmaster) did not handle it AT ALL. It's surprising to me that a forum as active as the old one would not have had Admin's. Perhaps, if it did, the message board section wouldn't be the worst one in the entire NHL (IMO).

Here's a small recap from the boards who have reverted back to IPS due to the overall general crappiness of the kickapps layout;

Vancouver - IPS boards 835 users in the last 15 minutes
Montreal IPS boards - 147 members "
Rangers - seems to be kickapps but the URL says iamarangersfan or something - 584 posts in the last 24 hours.
Oilers - proof that they refused to accept the crappy kickapps layout and went back to IPS http://fans.oilers.nhl.com/topic/7577/t ... ation.html

There should be a fb group or petition to the NHL itself to restore its fan forums to their former IPS format. Grass Roots. I like Grass Roots.

Anything else you'd like?

*Not that I'd ever go back, but it's a matter of principle. For the endless hours your Mods put in over there FOR YEARS, and they way our concerns were (not) handled on behalf of the board members is egregious.

SG

The only issue I have with reverting back to the IPS boards is the dreaded white screen of death during GDT's!!!! Other than that those boards were a million times better than the current crap

Wait. Birdy is pretty sure that he too ran with this band of lowlifes, which some call The Gutter. He very much enjoyed slumming with fellow dregs of society in this sort of institution of lower learning, from which he received a solid education - all about spankies, shaving vs waxing, etc.

Or, was it just a cruel dream?

Now Birdy is wondering if he's even here.

I had an account with Sabres.com forums and am also a long time poster on letsgosabres.com.....

I must say, this site is MUCH better than them both

Shall we play the guessing game as to your identity??

Male or female?

I doubt you guys would remember me, I didnt post a whole lot. Saw the boards mostly, and post a lot at letsgosabres.com

Mr. Green, tis your Mick friend ToTheMax......

And yes, my name is a play on words. A completely funny one - I think- if not entirely tasteful. Harmless nonetheless though right?. If it's offensive to people.....I'm just comin here to talk hockey, so I can always change it. No problems.

that board died when the butthole mods started being dumb. mostly sabrerock and the mexican guy who couldn't spell. what's up man?

Work, school, gym, men's league hockey and Jack Daniels......same as always. How about you? That board (LGS) fell off soooo fast. I'm literally blown away by how much different these boards are. It's baffling. OVer there, I rip someone for making a bogus claim (cleanly) and get a PM from a mod telling me not to hurt the new guys. Not to mention anyone with half a hockey brain over there left for the Sabres.com forums a year ago, which I see has since turned into this place. One day and I already love it here. This is what a real Sabres fan message board should be. Joe Dirt says....keep on keepin on Sabres Junkies, you run a good ship here. Happy to be here and amongst equals, lol.
