It is my opinion that the message boards became a liability the state figured they could do without. With some of the arguing and fighting that can happen on the internet they probably got too many complaints and threats of legal action. I don't think it had anything to do with the fishing section, there was a pretty controversial topic on the hunting dog section. While it didn't advocate the use of violence in the training of dogs, it did walk a line that didn't fit in well with many peoples opinions. Especially inlight of Mr Vick's much publisized mal-treatment of dogs. I don't believe this was the only thing that shut the boards down, but it was probably the proverbial straw.
