It’s weird to think that some of us have been here since it was possible to watch Ovi on video from Russia when he was 16.
Looks like someone made a thread back in 2014 asking if Gretzky's goal record could be broken and a Mod closed the thread after just 9 posts...I was hoping to go and read some of the old comments....Got to love censorship.
Will Ovechkin catch Gretzky in career goals?

Censorship? Are you one of those silly people who think being on a site that is owned and operated by someone with a set of rules that you agree to as part of participation is somehow "censoring" you?![]()
What rule did that thread break? ... Of course any rule that prohibits the free expression of thoughts, ideas, speech, literature, art ect ect is censorship.. it is the literal definition.
I think we all accept and understand a certain amount of censorship in most areas of life as it is needed to keep some form of order and decency.
But I think we can all agree that closing that thread was absolutely ridiculous and for that should be ridiculed.

Roy is overrated - Great goalie not the GOAT. That would be Hasek (according to the person retweeting)I don't get it
Considering you don't know what was already posted in that forum at the time, what was deleted from that thread or the history of any of those folks, just thinking what you can see is all there is to a situation is pretty simplistic. Perhaps there is more going on there that you just don't know. It reminds me of all the people who pine for Jame to be reinstated because they didn't see the drunken personal attacks and all the shit we would have to clean up because of it because we pared it out fairly quickly.
Moderation is not censorship.
Fair point but in this situation the person who closed it clearly states the reason it is being closed.
I mean you are just factually wrong
