[Husker] HuskerPedia?

[Shawn Sherlock]

As a lurker on Max's site for quite awhile, I think the big issue for the pedia-ites will be the site becoming a pay site.  Pedia seems to have retained members and generated new membership through offering free BBS access.  Also the lack of either side having much decorum in the forums has really built a strong us-v-them mentality, which is pretty stupid IMO as I bet most of the pedia-ites joined post break-up.  

From the very little I read about it, I tended to side with Max.  The intellectual property of building the site development (similar to our email group) wasn't an overnight endeavor.  Those of us that tend to be Luddites take a lot of this for granted, building an efficient and useful news aggregator isn't that easy (especially ten years ago).  Max seemed to really understand the Nebraska fan mindset. 

I'm glad it is getting closer to being resolved.
