Mr. Johnson (EK) deserves thanks for running the Buzz for the last 20 years. I’m not sure what caused it to degrade and then start allowing someone to ban a number of posters. We were told not to talk politics, yet he wrote a whole blog on Canada/U.S. relations and the tariff thing. He invited this to his doorstep. Sure, it had been going on for years among the posters, but it wanes over time. Other stuff not hockey related also filtered in. It would have been easier to put a political thread in a different spot on the site. He didn’t do that. Looking at it, it might be too late. He would be better off selling it, if he had a suitor. It’s time to move forward for the good of the fanbase.
I’m still in Shawshank.
Hey, any chance you can get me a rock hammer? – Wedgie
Sorry. Your ban was too ridiculous and cannot be fixed with a rock hammer.
Is this happening to other teams’ fans or is some ref just running around with a h*rdon for Leafs fans?
Not sure who’s doing it, but mine came after a comment in the Chicago thread, regarding Conor Bedard. No warning, one month sabbatical. The idea that Chicago was sold a bill of goods for thinking Bedard was a generational talent. I spelled out why, then banned! It really was a hockey question.
I wouldn’t sweat it on posting over there. Ek doesn’t respond to anything and there’s plenty of evidence of him not paying bloggers/not responding/having no money left. It’s likely why Metz and Augello left without some sort of delay.
Honestly? It took a long time but when a place starts being overrun by troll types and stuff like political talk it slowly degrades the place and more average people refuse to go back. There’s places like this, reddit, FB or a billion other social media platforms people can go and not be bombarded by ads or non-hockey talk. We can definitely build up this place to better than that.
Also, we can respect others views but I think some people have to cut it out on troll attempts on their own fan base and others have to not buy into it and respond.
~AaronI have a minor curiosity about that site atm.
I locked Ek’s thread after two posts yesterday to make a point about him not responding about these random bans.
It’s playoff time.
He hasn’t replaced it.

Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha h@ ha.

My best guess is it is a disgruntled (unpaid) employee trying to kill the site – best way to do that is to kill the Leafs’ thread.
But nobody knows.

~Atomic WedgieNot just the leafs thread, happening all over the site from what I’m hearing. I’m getting messages from Canucks boards, habs boards, the latest was one from Nasty_Duck the Bruins fan… it’s absurd
If that’s the case, then why isn’t Fred Johnson doing something about it? He could make a statement or mention it in one of his Buzzcasts? It’s odd. Unless the perp has a way to block Ek from seeing what’s going on? You’d think someone had an avenue to correct this? Weird.
Hopefully, you gave them invite to set up shop over here. Mike and the Meltz would probably appreciate that, without asking.
The Oil is getting schooled so far tonight. Not sure if they can handle Vegas in this series. It’s looking more like Dallas coming out of the West.

So wedgie may be on the right track… someone messing around with the site.
I have thought that Ek has absolutely minimal involvement for years now. I think he steps in periodically to keep the illusion alive, but he has treated it as pretty much passive income for a while now.
The outtage a couple months ago was also suspicious since literally nothing was changed. Did someone fail to pay the bills?

The Oilers in tough matchup against Vegas, they are way better team than Kings.
LOL, just after I posted this Oilers scored.My best guess is it is a disgruntled (unpaid) employee trying to kill the site – best way to do that is to kill the Leafs’ thread.

Oh Noooes!
Wedgie, we are coming up on 20 years next year. We have to keep it alive until then.I mean, let’s face it, only the coolest and manliest of men have been on HB for 20 years.

~AetherialAs I said I have it a week and no one cares so neither do I. I’m not hurt, just wanted to know lol.
At this point I’m just going to sit back and watch the site go down, I’m betting it will be quick.
