Page 1 of 2 Here at est1967, we pride ourselves on not editing anyone posts and allowing anyone to speak their minds whether it is a popular opinion or not. We will not be thought police. We will not edit posts for any reason, as long as what you post is within the structure of the law. Many of the posters on our forum met in the online community at [auto edit: illegal url] (nah, just kidding, we have nothing to hide here...it was at www.letsgoblues.com...we are not afraid of any other site) LGB was a great site but the power hungry mods and over-the-top sensitive posters changed that place for the worse. It was no longer about 'virtual friends' getting together on line to laugh, joke, and talk about the one thing they all had in common, a love for Blues hockey. Here is a summary written by a valued member of EST1967 and a formerly valued member of LGB...
Yes, this is Curt's site to do with as he pleases. Yes, we could just leave and no longer lurk when posting became a chore rather than fun. But you have to understand that the people that have left this site for other fora are not people that posted a couple hundred relevant comments and decided it wasn't for them, we're talking about people that have spent literally years of their life and well into five figures of posts here. These are the people that made this site successful to begin with. The people that registered here and stayed after the initial group established this site only did so because of these posters, their insights, witty comments, and the inside jokes we created.
Through this site - which brought together Blues fans from around the country, let alone around the world - we organized several get-togethers before games or at bars to watch games. Some of us have made good friends with people we met on this board, and an even greater number of people we consider friends even though we have never truly met.
