This is why I joined here.The internet is a magical place. Where opinions fly and recourse is few and far between. It's still a community, and places like twitter and Reddit harbor that. Places like this forum create a niche for the uber passionate. Seeing opinions on here for the last few years has been great for me personally. It's a space where knowledgeable minds and rookies meet. I've seen users that always come with great insight get bumped up to actual writing positions that they deserve and fills a market that is there. There's always gonna be drama, it's the Internet. But to have a connected community that serves a niche like fantasy hockey I hope stays pure. Maybe it's my nievity. I just hope this place doesn't get lost in the trolls or burner accounts. I never frequented the hfboards but I hear the rumors. It's places like this that passionate fans knowledgeable or not come together and I hope it stays that way. Whoever comes to this site and decides to participate has one thing in common and it shouldn't be forgotten. And that's hockey. Or baseball and football for some reason
i still don't understand why. I don't know what spurred this rant other than knowing a place where like minded people should coexist without fear of bullying or looking like an idiot is a need not a want. Twitter fills its role. Reddit, Facebook, etc. I just want a place to feel it's ok nerding out to some fantasy hockey. I hope this place continues to be that.
