HuskerPedia Ownership Dispute

Control of HuskerPedia.com is currently under dispute in an ugly little family feud that affects one of the most popular Husker football forums around.  David Max ("BigRedMax") was fired last week by Information SuperBrand, who today disabled Max's access as well as the access for Joe Hudson, another founder.

HuskerPedia was offline earlier today, but is back up.  Since Hudson provided nearly all of the content for HuskerPedia, the future of the site is in question.  Meanwhile, Max and Hudson have launched huskermax.com as a replacement site.  The BBS continues to function at the old IP address for the time being, but look for it to change as well. 

It will be interesting to see where this leads.  The "HuskerPedia" brand name is one of the biggest around, but without the content, it won't mean much.  Does Information SuperBrand have any plans to maintain and enhance HuskerPedia without the assistance from the people who created it?  Can Max and Hudson get the word out and convince their many fans to follow them to the new site?

And how long until the lawsuits begin?

holy cow

this won’t help either party. I seriously doubt that the guys who did this to Max and Hudson have any idea of the loyalty that Husker fans show to people like them.

Amazing.

I've Already Made The Move To Huskermax.com

This is another example of what happens when some corporate toady gets too greedy and f—ks it up for everybody!! I feel bad for Max and Hudson; is sucks getting thrown under the bus.

We also don't know what caused ISI to fire David Max...

So I’m holding back on making any conclusions, but right now, I think ISI is going to end up with a ghost town called “HuskerPedia”. I think HuskerPedia veterans will remain loyal to Max as opposed to the HuskerPedia brand.

I wonder what they’re saying in private over at BigRedBored. I bet they haven’t had this much fun since Steve Pederson got that contract extension in July 2007.

It appears that asians have taken over at the former huskerpedia. baffling grammar and overuse of exclamation points. huskermax.com looks like the huskerpedia we know and love.

I’ve never been apart of the forum Max and Hud ran, but HP has been a daily stop for me for a long time. The only forum I’ve ever really consider home was the BRR run by SR. I was quite shocked when all this happened. I was even more shocked that on the BRR forum, they pulled the one thread on the matter and have apparently decided not to allow anymore. What’s the worst of all, they will not even give a simple explanation as to why. They just whitewash away all threads and post that mention, in any way what happened

It’s a censorship with no given reason and it totally befuddles me. HuskerNation has a strong online presence and if we so choose, we could rip down the who freakin’ internet in support of Max & Hud. Yet, in their tiny corner, they’ve made a decision to enforce silence on all. Why? honestly, I don’t know, but their silence speaks volumes. As for me, I’m sort of forumless, hanging out with a bunch of Jayhawkers on Scout cause I refuse to hang out a forum showing cowardliness on top of totally refusing to explain themselves.

I hope Max gets his own unique forum up soon because I refuse to ever go back to a place hosted by a bunch of cowards who cannot even give a single reason for doing so. Honor and courage rank highly in my books and if you haven’t any, I really want nothing to do with you.

If ignorance is heavenly bliss, then welcome to hell.

Huskermax

Have to say I agree with all the above. Huskerpeida was how I started my day on the internet and how I ended. Many thanks to Max and Hudson and I for one will get my daily Husker fix from the new site! Keep rocking boys!

GBR!

The starting lineup for the Western Kentucky game. This is when we found out Taylor Martinez was the starting QB. Listen to Memorial Stadium go nuts.
Here it is, the debut of the 2010 Tunnel Walk from my perch in North Stadium, Section 37. 

Any thoughts?
Thought I'd set the mood for Saturday. I shot this video at last year's home opener (yes, I will try to get the new Tunnel Walk up when I get home tomorrow night). 

In the meantime, "now is the time for the Marching Red experience....presenting the University of Nebraska Cornhusker Marching Band!!
