And to our mods here......just know that we occasionally have knock down, drag down fights, but after a while, things settle down and things are back to normal.

Yes, there sure have been but at least we don't resort to biting off ears.

@MNSOTA same here am still trying to wade through it but basically I turned off almost all email notifications

OH yeah, I visited the Canucks forum and man a single GDT has like 70+ pages on average it seemed. The Canadiens board also seemed to be a little more active then others but I mean if they're shuttering our Name redacted but yet the Avs board stays which I think is very similar in terms of members and activity to ours then you know it really has nothing to do with member engagement.

on another note, I am so glad that I am not limited to 10 likes per 24 hour period unlike before on Name Redacted. and from now on I shall refer to it as Name redacted.

LOL, they were claiming very low usage and engagement on the WMB as one of the reasons for it to be shuttered and then said we should go twitter, facebook, snapchat, youtube or Instagram etc or basically anyplace where they can monitor what we're saying and remove any negative posts about the organization that were directed at the teams pages. They also said if we want a more forum styled place then go check Reddit which they made sure to say was not affiliated in any way with the Minnesota Wild organization. So basically it stems down to the Board which was accessible from the wilds site even if it was never pushed by the organization was not afraid to shed negativity on the team and ownership so therefore it had to be removed.

@IllaZilla  Glad to have ya Kiss

@Starofthenorth  Glad to have you here and it looks like your not putting up much of a fight LOL.

@pilldoc Thanks now I will say I am fairly easy to deal with and even when we have/had troll(s) on the previous site I just let them be trolls and didn't even respond to there trolly posts and only interacted with them if they actually made comments/posts that weren't of the Troll nature and could constitute a civil discussion.

@pilldoc was wondering when you were going to finally just say please see above LOL 

this is how I am imagining @pilldoc @hf101 and others everytime a former WMB user migrates over 

@hf101 Thanks and no worries this is your site/forum and you're free to run it or make it look however you want as I think my eyes must just be getting worse or something ( I am only 30) but have had issues with depth perception and Lazy eye etc  my whole life so no need to make changes just for me as like I was saying I can just use my Chrome extension and that helps mitigate some of the issues as I can turn the page dark and even adjust the brightness and contrast etc etc. As for that app you said you could purchase I mean that's completly up to you and I would never expect you to go out of your way and purchase something just becuase I think it'd be a neat idea and especially if it's like an extra monthly fee and not just a one time purchase. Thanks though for taking my ideas/suggestions into consideration and I look forward to seeing this forum and community grow.

That's more posts than I have.  lol.

I do read reddit, and post a lot of their streamable videos.  Find info etc for topics too.

 

This site will probably have more of a community feel to it as we are a lot smaller and the software is the same as the NHL's forums while there are a lot more unique features here, and I'm always up for new ideas to make the site better.  We have our own fantasy hockey leagues, we have ways to promote bloggers, and one activity I enjoy doing is our mock draft.  Where members get to draft the player of their choice as they impersonate the teams GM.  I find it an excellent way to study all of the top prospects.

yeah, I noticed it is basically identical to the other forum. Will have to see the unique features and what not. my only minor issue which really isn't an issue as I can just use my Dark Reader chrome extension to turn on dark mode for this site.  Anyways the color scheme for whatever reason on here it bothers my eyes more even though I am using f.lux and have been for a while now to help with my monitor's brightness. So maybe it's because it's a white on white or greyish on white compared to the black on white with the wild background images etc on the other forums who knows but I understand that this is one forum so you can't necessarily make each teams forum personalized with each teams colors and logos/images etc. But all will be fine as I can just turn on dark mode whenever I am on here through that extension. Also glad to actually have an admin here who can lurk and hopefully remove problem posts or spam unlike the wild boards who didn't really have an admin and when there was a spam issue had to try and find someone to contact to get it removed, which actually did happen after a week or two.

I think you all will enjoy it here.

Thanks, was closing in on 14000 posts on the old board so hopefully, all of the guys and gals from the old board migrate to the same place and that I can start working towards 14000+ posts again.  We had tossed around Reddit and this board so who knows what will happen.

Hey all, I am a former Wild Message board member as well and will have to check this place out. I am less active during the offseason but would love to have a place where all of the former WMB users can come and connect along with the veterans of this board and just have fun conversations, GDT's and rant and rave good or bad about this team.
