HuskerBoard has a new Owner ...

Huskermax is "Family friendly".....they assume children are reading it, this board has always been more 'adult' oriented. That's the main difference I see. David Max is a good guy. Some of the mods and favorites over there are a little too much ,but I'm sure that's the case just about everywhere. You sell or buy a boat in the spring because that's when people want to use it, that answers the timing question. If it was me, I'd keep this one oriented the way it is but find ways to make it profitable. Max has done a good job of that by featuring knowledgeable commentators and good links on the front page. I'm sure most of us have visited there for those features.

When did all of these adds start popping up on the bottom?

When the new guy took over trying to make a profit off us.

I'm sure we can discuss with @BigRedMax about continuing doing donation drives to help keep the need for ads at a minimum.

I'll pay $1/month if we can go back to more than 15 posts per page. Good god this is awful.

You mean you don't want any "Reign" of terror enforced here? :lol:

Sorry, I couldn't pass that up - I lurked at HuskerMax off and on for years, but never joined due to certain individuals styles of moderation - I could tell people would get annoyed and leave due to the approach.  I hate going there now - the ads are excessive.

I guess I'll have to look at leaving here.  I was never a significant poster, but I certainly read a lot of the threads.  I would try to contribute occasionally.

Oh well, nothing is forever.  As long as this doesn't become HMax 2 ("the ads are everywhere" version)  I'll stick around.  Otherwise, time to look for something else, I guess.

Yep! It gets to be too much group think and “think this way approach.” Sucked the fun out of it for me.

 
Like it or not, we live in a capitalistic society.

HuskerMax (and before it HuskerPedia) were build to make a profit through advertising and an annual fee.

HuskerBoard was a property that was undervalued, because of the lack of advertising on this site.

David Max acquired this site for money to make a profit, and he will put advertising here.
The best we can hope for is that Huskermax moderators are not brought here.

He is the Gordon Gecko of Husker message boards.

We're early on but so far I can't necessarily fault your line of logic.

And, unfortunately, if that happens, I think I might need to go elsewhere or maybe try my hand at starting my own. 

 
I haven’t tried to access on a computer since the sell, maybe it will be better.  But the ads and low number of posts per page are annoying on my phone.   

Plus,every ad I’ve seen I’ve closed and selected not interested as my reasons.  If we’re going to pedal stuff here, at least make it something I’m interested in.  FFS: NRA, Weighwatchers, some franchise consulting firm????

 
I’m going to stay because there is nowhere else to go for now that I feel as comfortable as I felt here.  But, @Landlord, don’t forget to share your site if you choose to start one.  I’ll follow.

 
If HuskerMax mods come here to moderate, there's going to be a purge. I enjoy the contributions from many on this board. A lot of good friendly discussions and people who have been around for a while. We also get random non-Husker fans come on here and engage in some good discussions. Would hate to see that disappear.
