It's amazing how much of this site I'm impressed by and read which don't involve hockey :laugh:

the best parts of this site aren't even the main boards but the soccer, football, and entertainment forums (let's leave the "Lounge" out of this :naughty:)

With 380,000 posts, I always figured you hired a team of interns to do the reading intake.

reddit has no soul just a bunch of anonymous random usernames replying in comments with 99 replies , quite frankly its a sore on the eyes and not very engaging to read or follow discussions whatsoever.

Reddit is a good site don't get me wrong , if you have an obscure question somebody 10 years ago also had :laugh:
it has a couple things going for it like it works better with multimedia, better moderation, better at handling more than one topic or line of thought. i agree with you on the no sole point. it lacks the personality that hf has.

It's very cozy, any ideas on pinpointing why the old forums feel this way? Is it better discussion?

I'm not sure. I think cozy is a very good word, though. I like that it is simple, not just blasting headlines, and that all comments get equal footing without some kind of "upvote" system. Plus I think it just reminds us of a simpler time, where forums were built around particular interests and hobbies rather than the monolith of social media sites like Twitter.

I didn't delete your post.

As for the condescending tone, you should see my reviews on Yelp.

"He was so mean to me when I told the site's user base that they were all circle jerking and that they should go away more often."
In fairness, you do avoid any conversation that doesn’t fit your narrative. But as a goalie, and a guest star on @hangman005 ‘s OnlyFans, nobody can blame you for that.

I’m not getting involved in all that but I think HF should expand their reaction emojis.

Add a downvote button. People are using the laugh emoji in its place.

Also add another heart emoji that doesn’t have such a ridiculous smile. When someone posts anything upsetting where it’s worthy of a heart, I don’t want to come across as smiling too.

I don't support a downvote button but adding new reaction emojis is long overdue. At the bare minimum we need a "crying face emoji" reaction. On a sports forum that is probably the most relevant reaction on a large number of posts.

I'm not a high volume poster but love to read the opinions and the info posted on HF. When the site goes dark for various technical reasons, I almost get the shakes until it returns.

"THIS IS OUTHOUSE" was my all-time fave.

I have posted on several other boards over the years. Not really other hockey forums.

But most of those forums either went quiet and people stopped posting or they just went dark. I'm glad these boards are still around and as active as ever.

I wish there was another laughing emoji. Sometimes someone says something ridiculous and the post is being laughed at for how dumb and wrong it is. Sometimes a post is funny.

Would be nice to differentiate between the two.

That's what I love about this website man. The rest of the internet just keeps getting worse and worse by HF stays the same.

I'd normally agree, but I totally stopped checking this site everyday or GDTs when the mobile version became completely unusable. Car ads that encroach on the center of the screen covering 80% of it -- maddening.

Not sure if it's any better.

Its like the only message board that still has a community/hasn't been shut down out of anything I have an interest in.

No the godforsaken hellhole called reddit doesn't count.

HF community are same level like X.

One of best forums in world. No politics rights. No military rights.

I am not sure if religion have rights.

Anyone know religion rights in HF?

In Sweden everybody choose their own religion.

Lutheran Christians leads in Sweden.

Over 5,5 million Lutheran in Sweden.

The Orthodox groups are estimated to have about 140,000 members in Sweden.
