    2 cents:

    The social media thing is a good idea. There are a few Pac 12 and UW Fagbook groups that would be receptive to this kind of site. I don't know Twitters quite as much, but it probably wouldn't be that hard to create a buzz. If you could get a person with a lot of followers to retweet things, that would help. I don't know shit about Instantgram or whatever it's called (I refuse to sign up), but there are a lot of Millenials on it. It's mostly pictures I believe, but post some funny pictures with jokes of UW failures or something.

    Opposing fans are a slippery slope. I've interacted with Duck and WSU fans for way over a decade. Both fan bases are full of mouth breathing idiots, especially Oregon's. Many people here seem to almost like Oregon, or they do like Oregon, so maybe they wouldn't troll this place very hard. I don't know. Any other fans are probably harmless. This place can be pretty idiotic and repetitive in some ways, but there are a lot of intelligent people overall. It is a respite from pussified America where the p.c. police will turn you in to HR and fat ass Amy Schumer does fucking beer ads talking about trannies.

    I think this place has probably hit about the limit of the internet HHB/high expectation crowd, so other fans might be the way to go.

    I was on a board from about 2004 to 2011 and it was sort of similar to here. I think it was a little more restrictive, but there were similar jokes and it wasn't mainstream. The owner was just kind of like, "Hey...operating costs are this...can you pitch in?" I did a couple of times, but the site was just the same 100 regulars saying the same things over and over. He didn't really have much of a vision for it, so it just got stale. Recognizing issues like that now is good, as opposed to two or three years from now when numbers decline. He never posted any articles or did any podcasts, so those are good things to create buzz.

    Market the site as a pac 12 shit-throwing bored, paywall the uncensored boreds, problem solved

    LOL at FMB about the cuouug and duck fans. Try living with and working with these people on a regular basis. I actually love that the huskies are the evil, hated program down here among all these quooks, cuoiogs, and beaver-believer faggots.

    The problem with this site becoming a hub for all Pac 12 fans is the "College Football" board moves too slowly. There isn't enough activity to draw fans from other sites.

    Combining the main UW board with the rest of college football could help, but non-UW threads could get drowned out in the noise. Still, I think you should combine them until the non-UW talk gets popular enough to warrant its own board.
