Can we proclaim ourselves?

I agree. If for some reason it ever comes to it, we need to stick with the old over the new. Not a matter of the # of members, but a matter of retaining identity.

I am very lax about policing members usually, because as we often say they do a great job of policing themselves. I have no problem with taking a harderline against the former 'pedia folks, because they need to get the message that this isn't Pedia, and bringing in any of the drama from over there isn't going to be acceptable. I like a good number of the new folk, but I never really liked reading the Pedia boards. Really, I had a rather poor impression of the mod teams at both Max and Pedia.

May be a good idea to use that cactusboy thread to point out any problem users in the transition so we can all keep an eye on them. Knapp, I think you have the rep as the resident enforcer...I haven't gotten a single PM :P

The other point to remember is to keep the HP fights separate from the inevitable crap that occurs after a loss - particularly one like Northwestern. What I'm saying is that we know emotions run high and folks vent - we tend to cut a little slack for those. I see no need to cut any slack for the HP squables - if we have to, give them a week's vacation if necessary. That's the stuff we need to keep under control - the rest will take care of itself as soon as our next win.

The thing about Max's website is he uses the message board to supplement it, while our board id the focal point.

One of those BHF members is me. I signed up as knapplc over there to see what it's all about. So far, similar to HuskerBoard (but not as good), but there's an Admin who claims to be buddies with someone highly-placed in the program who feeds him all kinds of information. His buddy even reads their threads and gives feedback.

Seems totally legit. :rolleyes:

Just a quick update on this, since I happened to check BigHuskerFan today:

Members

BigHuskerFan: 1,762 (+38)

HuskerBoard: 9,117 (+470)

That's decent growth in 10 months. And our core of regular users is quite large.
