After getting "daily concerns via e-mail about the negativity on the football board" Emperor Kim has decided to segregate Dawgman.com into a heavily moderated/censored "football board" and a"hardcore" board, where his gestapo will ensure that there is only "Higher-level discussion" (i.e. how great a coach Sark is) taking place. He made a thread about it and every single poster in the thread told him it was a stupid idea, that he was being too sensitive, and that it was not a good idea to change everything a week before the season starts. He also let everyone know, after being questioned on the subject, that the new rules will not apply to he, Fetters, and Scott because they sometimes have to go above and beyond in order to put down the negative comments that are rampant on the board.
Let's hope this is finally the spark that burns his city to ashes.

Hi Kim!!!
God I'm glad I don't deal with that board anymore...
You see it all the time in business. People (especially managers, CEOs, etc) have a huge need to do something, when most of the time doing nothing is the best route. Its exactly like Coca Cola...to run that business, you just need to not fuck up anything...don't roll out anything new..just keep making the same damn formula...instead New Coke is rolled out b/c the CEO gets restless.
its pretty clear he isn't making rational choices anymore...a simple poll would've been good. When a user did create this poll voting on the forum style that everyone wanted...it turned against him, and now he is digging in even more.
read a great book recently that Kim should check out. Its called "Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts"
The above poaster is right. They literally don't have to do anything to be successful. Keep the discussion free & open like they did 6+ years ago. The irony that Kim is missing is that conflict is better for the bored. It draws more attention, more posts and more traffic.
We need to go over and snatch up posters like tailgater and section14. We can improve this forum. We need to add more discussion here about football. I get sick of the same bullshit from guys like Damone who just poke at peoples' post's instead of bringing "football" discussion here.
Like it or not, they have a loyal following. Fuck, there are still contributors on this board that post over at doogman, even though they can't stand the staff and the majority of the posters over there. It's a fucking habit for many fans (including some here). The only way doogman will ever fall is if there is another mainstream board that caters to doog's but is ran with better management. Even then it will be tough. For some stupid reason, people are loyal to Kim and the retards.
Here's a dirty little secret you should know:
Most of the Doogman posters don't know shit about football and just want to have smoke blown up their asses.
Hope this helps.
As for Damone, I'm sure if we had a good program he'd talk more about football but for guys like him it's frustrating having the same conversation for a decade plus when the end result is always the same.
Why guys like Damone, Race, sven are so sarcastic because it's just one giant Lather, Rinse, Repeat.
The optimism going into this season I'm sure you can pull up articles from 2012, 2011, and 2010 that look the same and even going further back 2003 and 2002 as well.
Issaquadawg gets credit for one of the best threads in Dawgboard (Gurgle...gurgle) history. I also hear he has a connection to someone with extensive experience with hobby boards.
CougLJ (water is wet) loves to type. His posts show that anybody can live in a life of abundance. Although, he does have a strange habit of telling people to take shits in their hats.
Auburndawg is the Doogman's very own Hollinger. Those weekly power rankings were a thing of magic. Who needs stats, strength of schedule, point differential, or even facts when you have Auburndawg's subjective expertise?

Lets not HATE, when we can APPRECIATE!!!!
A small tip: If you stopped being an anti-Dawgman site, and started being your own site with more football talk and less Dawgman talk, you would probably get what you wish for.
The people that have stayed there this long won't get this place anyway, so fuck them.
Time to move forward.
Then this???
A myth is that there is no football talk on this site. There is as much football talk on this site as there is on doogman, even though this site has only a fraction of the posters that dawgman has.
This board would be better if it wasn't all one big inside joke such as having the 7-6>7-6>7-6 banner on top of the page. No casual fan wants to be part of a board where they aren't welcomed, including posters who probably share very similar views as most here regarding UW football. My advice (not that anyone gives a fuck) would be to at least pretend this is a Husky Football board to try and welcome new posters. Every time this board gets a new poster who actually contributes (not dumb fucks like ImaLoser), it improves.
