Prime years of the board were 2005-2007 IMO. Other than the guys already mentioned, I remember some good humour rolling between danishh, spoon, THEO15 (mostly mocking) and the usuals (Nyquil, discostu, Lazarou, SilverCup, etc.).

I think the board is in a transition phase. Lots of young posters. And by young, I mean young. Like under 19 young.
That community was mostly witty young adults/adults cracking whips all the time. I think the board can get to that once the population ages a bit and becomes less negative.
Ages brings wisdom, and maybe just like the actual Sens team, we have to give the posters some time. My intuition is that the team and board will mature and grow at the same time, reaching their prime simultaneously. Years of success will ensue. Cycle of life *****es.
Yelnats Puc or whatever his name of still goes down as the greatest mod in Sens board history. What a great 24 hours that was.
Been posting since 2007 (has it already been 8 years???), and this year my post count has dropped considerably. I don't know if it's a mix of not having much to talk about (team losing, ownership, etc) and personal life getting busier. The drop in posts has been noticeable and unfortunately, it seems the like forums best days are behind us.
Like many of you have said, it seems the boards have devolved into a hive of negativity. Personally I think this city and by extension these boards are taking on the persona of some sports reporters in this city who seem content to tear down players to generate hits on their blogs or sites (or sell papers). Some posters seem to not see the forest for the trees I guess. It's depressing around here sometimes.
Petersidorkewicz also hit the nail on the head. There was a hilarious sarcastic vibe on the sens board which couldn't be found anywhere else on hfboards or anywhere else on the web. It was a blast, I remember being proud to post on the sens board. I cried of laughter more times than I can remember.
Some of those key posters have popped up in this thread so I won't rename them but I'd give a few more shout outs : Nyquil, discostu, Preds77, PapaLazarou, Murphy, moz, MarsVolchenkov, Silvercup, Voodoo, Hossa, Bingosensfan, DG, Golden (etc) you guys were the best, I know I'm leaving out a bunch, I hope you understand it's not because you aren't on my list (mostly because it's getting late and I'm getting old).
TLDR: I miss the old posters.
