I can't speak for all the other lurkers out there.  But the reason I frequent this site is because I'm a big fan of the SB network blogs and I am a Sabres fan.  However, there is just not enough original posting going on here.  I realize it's the off season and it's slow news wise but we aren't looking for news all the time.  I'm willing to participate more here, but to be honest there isn't much to comment on.  The site needs more opinion pieces, statistical analysis, informed speculation, and probably 2 more original posts a day.  Buffalorumblings (the Bills blog) has a much larger following, and a big reason is because they have 4-5 original posts per day.  The majority of time here all we get is links to other sites pumping out original thought.  Not ment as a diss, just as constructive criticism.  When D.O. does post original articles, they are WELL worth the read fwiw.
