Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

We took the concept of HHBv.1, invested money into giving it nice accommodations, asked the members not to post porn images, and things are going well.
I don't have any desire to be like Dawgman.com. I would like us to become a bigger version of what we already are. A ShaggyBevo for Washington football.
I would like an increase in traffic from casual fans and fans from other schools who would enjoy a place to hang out. I also enjoy seeing the high number of lurkers we already have who are fascinated by politically incorrect discussions.

I think some are missing the point. The doogs are in the vast minority now and are insignificant. The majority of dawgman subscribers are there only because its the biggest place to talk with other fans. After the WSU & Boise debacles and constant propaganda from Kim & Eklund most fans are far more in-line with HHB's than with the dawgman and media BS. Furthermore, Dawgman about a year ago started to censor posts and lose objectivity with respect to recruiting and other things like Kim's posts. Kim is making up shit and Eklund ignores when a guy likely won't be a husky.
Thus, there is a vital need for a new place where husky football can be discussed, free of censorship and free of outright lies and falsehoods. Thats why many have migrated over here.
I've offered to Derek to host podcasts and interview knowledgeable fans on specific topics. It could be another way to build an audience and give people something to comment on.
I think this site can grow its focus on husky football while keeping its local color. For example, Cheers' posts about Dawgman's charades are hilarious because they are true. They point out facts and expose what a joke it has become. The same thing can be said about the posts on Softy and Hugh Millen.
What scares some people away is not the local color & humor, its the thinking that this is just a place to dump on husky football and complain. I don't think theres anything wrong with that but some should acknowledge a few positive changes (stadium upgrade, blank check for new coaches who had a strong impact) and I hope that will bring some people here who were initially turned off with Race & Derek but now actually mostly agree with them.

Like Derek said, this place will never be a Doogman clone. The day it does is the day I'll leave as well. Go to Shaggy Bevo. That is the best rogue fan website I've seen. That's kind of the loose goal here.
I'm also here to rip on and expose Kim and Doogman for the horseshit they continue to puke up and I won't rest until Doogman.com goes toes up or they become hilariously insignificant. I'd even take notes on their radio show and rip that here as well, but I can't stomach to listen to it for more than 30 seconds.
HHBv1 was an awesome place. We just wanted to learn from that experience and improve upon it with Hardcore Husky. Doogs are welcome, but they'll need to be prepared to defend themselves. We're not going to shelter them with bannings like Emperor Grinolds does. -

^^^^^ Classy poast

Since Kim will never be in charge here, this place will not become like Dawgman.

I remember vividly when Kim posted that the UW coaches told him that the Doogman boreds were hurting their recruiting efforts. No further proof of Kim's capitulation to the AD is needed.DerekJohnson said:
