    The TL;DR version is: But the truth is that running a platform for culture creation is, increasingly, a charity operation undertaken by larger companies. Servers are expensive, and advertisers would rather just throw money at Facebook than take a chance on your weird, problematic network. Generating and incubating internet culture has little market value in and of itself.

    You don't know anything about servers or technology in general. Fuck off
    riiiiiiight.... well, actually I do but I didn't write the article -- one point is that weird assholes like you saying "fuck off" are one reason advertisers don't like their images sitting on the same screen.
    Fuck off.
    Well, I didn't invent the internet or the failing culture creation websites like this one. I think you invested in this. And I know you aren't a dude either in the fuck off bro-culture here. Don't invest heavily in it...
    Feels like a "Later Guys" post is brewing.
    Derek seems like a nice guy but I have a feeling that the "Later Guys" might be from him. The tone of his announcements don't paint a picture of reaping money hand over fist. In fact it sounds exactly like exactly what is depicted in the article.
    My bigger issue is that I don't care very much about Husky Football anymore. I would rather have root canal surgery than write an article about Jake Browning's surgically repaired shoulder (or whatever the fuck).

    But in any event, you're making a lot of assumptions in this thread.

    This site is a huge success from the standpoint of giving the Half Brain culture a professional platform and home base. The financial future remains to be seen. The site broke even in 2016 and existed fully off donations. Let's see what happens for 2017.
    Let me tell you what will happen for 2017. These cheap fucks will pony up or I will find them and set their houses on fire. Then this place will either break even or run a slight surplus, or a bunch of basement dwelling losers will be homeless. That's what will happen.
    So it's time to circle the wagons?

    Derek says he has lost interest in Husky football. It is probably just a phase. So, I have a great idea for his next book: The History of Small College Football in Washington. There actually is such a thing, especially if we include Eastern in the "small" category with their championship in I-AA. CWU has won NAIA and Linfield is a national powerhouse. I think PLU has won national championships.
    Western was bad and folded up the tent and left. It just occurred to me that you don't need to write a book since that is all the history you need to know.... anyway it wouldn't sell. Never mind.

    That attitude sets the tone for HH greatness

    Otherwise it would be: "How can you talk about putting the HIV virus in blow up dolls when we are discussing who will be the backup long snapper in 2019 ?"

    Long Snapper ? Is it still succulent and tight ?

    A little bit of not giving a fuck makes it all possible...

    Take HH public, put it on the NYSE as a penny stock. When you want a dip to buy, I'll act like a lunatic and cause the stock to plummet.
