HFBoards has an incredibly toxic community, but it also has some pretty great parts as well (there's some very in-depth discussion on occasion, as well as some humorous threads). Still, the community (and awful moderators) makes me not want to stick around for the great bits.
Hfboards is not bad if you know how to ignore trolls. Honestly /r/hockey isn't much better than Hfboards anymore. People posting asinine opinions about players on hfboards is the same as people posting low effort memes/shitposts/overused jokes here.
