Some of the names on that list were here not too long ago and some long gone. Yeah, wow. The players and the posters..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 This was before Twitter and Facebook really took off and consumed almost all social media. The board always had people coming and going, but there are just not as many coming for the last decade or so and a lack of new blood is what really impacts everything.

The huddlers listed in here and 23 pages of posts for a mock draft... those were the days. It was a lot of fun, but we'll never see this again. Sad.

It was a lot of fun, but we'll never see this again. Sad. several forums run them. One of the best is at jetsnation.com and the others are at footballsfuture.com. Mock draft are alive and thriving on active message boards. Also, Football's future has a message board for draft, a separate one for each NFL team, one for fantasy. It is very good. It's painful to migrate, but it is pretty clear that this site is on its last days. If there is no NFL this year, this site will be a ghost town more than it already is. I doubt theHuddle is worth the annual fee any more. I've tried for several years to justify it. Shame. It was very good. But placing all the blame on other social media is faulty. I participate today in some of the most active message boards ever. It is how the boards are promoted and word of mouth as much as it is other social media. TheHuddle does next to nothing to promote itself (at least it seems) and along with the main board's drastic decline, the message boards go right down the tubes.

Agreed and my comment of "those were the days", were in reference to the days here. I'm on other boards as well and they are thriving. I hate to say it but The Huddle is dead. I actually wasn't a paid member for the first time last year and the year before I was still on auto- pay, so I just considered that a donation and changed by settings.

Finn5033 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 2 days away from the NFL draft, during a pandemic where there is nothing else sports wise going on, and the Huddle forums are a ghost town. It’s a shame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
