He's got a board that he moderates to his standard. Why does he need another? There's a reason I spend 99% of my time here, and 1% there. I like this place 99% better. Apparently I'm not alone.
Let's clear a couple of things up.

I'm not the only poster here who is of the opinion that the hijacking of threads is a problem. That's very obvious. I just happen to be the one that brought it up.

I don't have a board.I volunteered to moderate the NFHS board because they were gonna shut the damn thing down. For the NFHS to have to shut down their officials' discussion board because officials couldn't maintain civil discussion was ridiculous.

This hijacking of threads with stale jokes is not a problem on the NFHS board. And it's not because I delete it. It simply isn't posted there. Yes, it's a slower board but it's rare that a thread is hijacked. In fact, the very few issues I have there are from a poster who does the same thing on this site: post inane images that mean nothing to anyone. Interestingly enough, JRutledge and Jurassic Referee have voiced their opinions on the NFHS board that they don't care for those posts either.

So you can think that this is all about me but it's not. I've been here about as long as anyone and can tell you that it hasn't always been this way. I can go away but the problem will still exist.
