I have fouind similar things happening on boards about other topics, beside sports. The early days of the internet created a new forum opportunity, and the people came in and talked everything to death. All the things that there were to be said got said. The Trivia board is a good example. Every possible trivia question got asked, and there aren't any left. Furthermore, with skimpy or non-esistent databases and search capabilities, finding an answer to a trivia question was a challenge. Now all you need to do is enter the right search terms, and there it is. The Trivia board was started when the only statistical resource was a 7-pound McMillian Baseball encyclopedia on your lap. Today, a person who knows nothing about baseball can look up any trivia answer, like that Korean guy who can't speak English, but wins every international Scrabble tournament because he has memorized all the words in the scrabble dictionary.
