It's bad, but it used to be much worse. Arbitrary and biased moderation ran off or banned some of the best posters years ago. It still happens, but not quite as much. I'm not sure I've ever once even thought about who mods here. I have no idea who the mods are. Of course, I rarely get in arguments here and even the few times I have, I walk away fairly quickly because I have better things to do. I guess what I'm saying is that people tend to worry about the mods a lot when they regularly put themselves in situations where mods are needed.

The poster you are quoting didn't have any answers as to who was ran off or banned (besides nominating themselves). So, I'll pose the same question to you. Who is one of these 'best' posters? Bonus points if tangible contributions they made are listed!

And nobody is going to go through the archives from many years ago to find their "tangible" contributions. Nerd.

Is this really why everyone hates us Penn State fans?

The fact that you can't name at least one of these "best posters" who left because of "arbitrary and biased moderating" (your words, not mine), doesn't give your statement much credibility. I will say that Volleytalk HAS lost some notable posters and contributors over the past almost decade+ that I've been on here, but to my knowledge, none of those posters left because of biased moderating against them. The majority of the most prolific posters (those with 5k+) still frequent the board in some capacity,

How long ago was Dig Nittany created? Wasn't it near or a little bit after Penn State having historic success? How many former PSU VT members stopped posting here? And why?

Feels like it's been at least 10 years...? I've never posted there, though I've used the roster/recruiting list. I just don't get why the PSU contingent has nearly disappeared from here even if DigNittany exists; like, wouldn't you want to chat with other teams' fans...? Granted, I say that as someone who basically lurked for 6-8 years until I've semi-returned the last year or so. It is marginally depressing I've been here 16 years.
