Perhaps someone is doing it on purpose.

Hmmm,

There's another board?

Needless to say, I haven't looked back.

That's exactly how it happened with me. It does take time and lots of ongoing hard effort to maintain this board at the high level that has come to be expected. The "founder{s}" and Administrators are the true unsung heroes for affording us a great fan-based meeting place.............of the "people," by the "people," for the "people."

I went back to the old board last week, after not signing on since April. Was lame. Could not stand it at all. It's like a bunch of johnsonfans posting in one place.

Yes I have been posting a little on the "official board", only because I didn't know about this one. I have been longing for the old board, it feels like I am back home, like I just walked in the doors at Cheers or something.

I only have like 20 posts since March on that other board, there is very little of any value over there, at least right now during offseason anyway. But this is great to have found this board and alot of my old friends, I had given up on being able to plug in with other true fans.

i think it because of the true fans are allways online....when you need them and thats why we have drawn close to being beter then packed ht.com

For the record, there is a big overlap of admin and mods from here to there. The Texans for whatever reason will not let us have more than a few mods at that site. When everything moved here the mods did as did their loyalties as well. Only a few of us are trying to moderate the official MB now. We try, but this is a volunteer gig. I try to catch the egregious conduct but it is an uphill battle. Fact is when the fan base from the old TT merged with the old HT it was game over for a long time. 99% of the hard core fans were on one of the two and now are here. Tough to maintain a good MB when all they let you have is a couple mods riding burros trying to herd cats.

I stayed at the official forums for like 4 months after the switch, until i found this place somehow. I'm glad i found it though, i hated the other forums.
