I miss the energy we used to have on this board. I honestly do. There were so many personalities, awesome people and even awesome rivalries. Even Eduardo Najera had thread after thread devoted to whether or not he was a decent player. It was amazing because of all the passion. More (bad) posts won't fix it. More mods banning trolls won't fix it. The only thing that will improve this board is involvement of fans across the spectrum with respectable (and respectful) comments. The only way for that to happen is for there to be more interest in the Mavs and it's pretty hard to get excited for signing D-leaguers and guys that have fallen out of the league, (although we had threads and threads devoted to Antoine Rigadeau's next coming of Reggie Miller).

It's still a solid forum but it has about the energy of the average Maverick fan-- which is to say cautiously optimistic but not terribly impassioned. Still some excellent posters here as well-- they just don't post as often because there's less to comment on.
