No idea. He must have gotten tired of his passive aggressive fued with MJL......I'm only here to troll Plind hahaha

In all honesty, EK is to blame for the massive loss of daily visitors. So many would still be here if he implemented an ignore feature. Many begged for it, he never delivered...

Once Bill moves on, there won't be a reason to visit the site

I remember the reason I came to this site the first time was because it was right around the trade deadline of 09' and my buddy mentioned some wild trade, which I couldn't believe to be real. He sent a link to Hockeybuzz, and the rest was history. The speculation might not be the most fruitful, but the fans that post were some of the most knowledgable.

Its hard to pass on Bill's blogs when you know that they are probably the most well thought out articles, when compared to other philly sports blogs/sites. Still one of the best places for Flyers news in my book.

i dont know what qualifies as a website hit or visit or whatever, so maybe not having an ignore button is actually good business as people constantly reload the page to go back and forth in arguments they swore off six pages ago

How many posters wouldn't have left never to return if they could just ignore the posters that irritated them?

I don't get why you'd leave the solid hockey talk that takes place most of the time...in my opinion a lot of the people that have left has coincided with the downturn the team has taken over the past 5 years.

Agreed. You really get everything here in the comments. Great insights and pure comedy for a slow work day. Lurking on some back-and-forth arguments is enjoyable too.

That could be it too, but for me, one of the best things about this site is to find out how some of the prospects are progressing. Could never keep up with all of them on my own.

If in had to lay money on it,i d say thats the reason why but if it is, it's really stupid on his part. It was a normal thing for Bill to have a few thousand comments. Hell, there was a time when PANOTCH's blog was s where most would congregate

Too many lost to the few abrasive know-it-alls. Too many posters who think they own the conversation. Zero flexibility for new people posting who may not know enough to carry on a high end discussion.

People who post here should want to enjoy themselves and not defend every post to the death. They don't want to be constantly told their opinions are wrong. It drives folks away. Good long time knowledgeable flyers fans.

Even the newer wave of posters have an ugly confrontational edge to them and I like them. Not sure they weren't force trained by an ugly element on here.

funny how the playoffs are. I'd say blues/wild was the series I'd have the least interest in but this game has been the best one tonight.
