I'm sure you're one of many. Hockey will be here (us too) when you get back, in some form or another.
I've checked the boards every day since a couple years now. Today I noticed that I'd had enough. This lockout has killed every last bit of interest in hockey. I'm in many keeper leagues and I know I will be back. For now, I'm done...
logging off,
See you all when hockey's back...

I'm sure you're one of many. Hockey will be here (us too) when you get back, in some form or another.
I feel like I have a duty here, so I will continue to be here and answer your questions.
By no means am I pleased with the NHL and NHLPA, they're both incredibly greedy and selfish. They don't give a shit about the fans.
I feel the same frustration you do.

I only come here for the boobie avatars. Oh wait!
I think everyone is definitely frustrated as well. I'm in a bunch of leagues, and don't think I'm going to do anything rash like leaving them quite yet. I'll wait till hockey resumes (whenever that is) and judge my interest then. If it's not until next fall, then I strongly anticipate I'll only remain in my favorite leagues.

Meh, NHL or no NHL, I will stick it out here on the forums. It was the NHL that brought me to this site, but its the interaction with other members that keeps me coming back now. Still one of the best online environments I have been involved with. The hockey talk is now the bonus.
PS- I also enjoy the Baseball and Football sections, not to mention The Lounge. The Lounge is the place to be lately.
