And there is always a few people that no matter what you say they will argue with you. Which there is nothing wrong with that as long as it always stays pretty clean. Well I like how this board is run and not sure if the moderators have had to delete anything yet, but it seems to be staying clean and enjoyable. Thanks everyone.
I have seen it when forums switched from one which one did not have to register to post to one which requires one to be signed in, we had certain people complaining. (Most likely, like you said, they would have to stand behind what they said.)

And then when an objectionable post/thread was removed...

The yelling about censorship, etc.

Amen to that!

Let's talk hockey, between hockey fans!
(And not with the hooligans and in-DUH-viduals whom ruin any sportsmanship between people.)

Let's talk WHL! CHL! Memorial Cup!
