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

What is your DM.com banning story?

Mine: I had many “time outs”. Was told less is more a few times. Was told my schtick was funny the first 23 times. Lots of butting heads with Kim. Shit got serious when Sark was hired. I wasn’t on the hype train. I wanted to see results from a hire that had never been a head coach. I mocked the “Sark gets it” shit after his first “kick ass presser” where he said “It’s about time UW gets back to rose bowls” or something. I was all over Sark when he decided to remain at USC after he was hired at UW. The whole “ Free Pub” thing came out of that. I was banned in January 2010 I believe. Before Sark ever coached a down.

Almost 10 years ago. Where did the time go!!

What’s yours? If your stil there how do you manage?

    I was part of the first big wave to leave dawgman for huskyhalfbrains.com I could probably dig up some of the old emails from Chest and some of the other guys who lead the charge of getting posters to leave dawgman and head over to Derek's old site. At the time, Kim deleted any comments critical of Sark. He also posted a lot of flat out lies that were easily disproved by doing 2 seconds of research. After getting caught in one such lie, I posted a gif that hurt Kim's feelings. No warning. Just gone.

    I don't remember the exact circumstance but Kim had said something FS that Fatters had completely contradicted in an article 2-3 days before and when I called the little man out he banned me. I also sent him lemon party, but I'm pretty sure the former is what got the hammer. The vagina farm was actually much worse it came to bans. Fuck those guys.

    I was never banned, though Fatters threatened me once by writing my password in a post -- my password was an uncommon word and he really stretched to fit it into his response to something that I wrote that pissed him off -- I was suggesting he wasn't nearly as smart has he liked to act.

    I knew then that they had no integrity.

    I had already known they were dumbshits, but having no integrity was the tipping point for me.

    The fact they even had access to your password is fucked up.
    Because it didn't actually happen.

    I got bored there after like 10 poasts in 2006. Never banned but gave up on it pretty early. @RaceBannon and @iDawg are the only reason I ended up here.

    Exactly. This was back when their site was probably written in VB.net and their flunky developer was probably just storing the password in an access database without encryption/hash.

    A buddy of mine had a programming contract in the same building that dawgman was once in, and met one of their site's developers. Said he was the biggest dumbshit he'd ever talked to when it comes to software developers.

    I got a few timeouts but was never banned. Came here by choice.

    Same. Signed up for the free trial around a signing day during the sark years. Was like multiple months for free. Those were the days when they were doing the signing day event at the husky bar in like Issaquah or some shit.

    I got a "time out" for pointing out how dumb fetters is. Cancelled that shit as soon as I discovered hhbs.

    I think they got $30 out of me and I'm still pissed about it.

    Got purged back on 08 (I think it was) with the rest of the Halfbrains. Stupidly subscribed again in like 2011, which at least lead to Kim's famous "But why is Emmert a bad president???" post. Seppuku'd my way into my final ban.

    Can't beat that one. DNC takes the crown.

    Old man HuskyClaus got me a 7-day timeout after I called him a dried up prune. Fetters gave me the "be better to our senior posters" PM.

    We mended fences here at HCH briefly... then he bailed here to post by himself on the free-bird.

    I remember when they changed Damone to ****** so I was there post Damone. Not sure I made it to a Sark game though

    Kim was always lenient with me because of DFI and because I called him a good guy. I wasn't auto banned for HHB but I'm pretty sure that was the end. One day I had no more free access to dawgtales then no access at all

    No warning? Just gone?

    Mine was in early August probably 2011. Someone posted on their free board something dumb, can't even remember what it was. Probably was an inside joke. I had only been around a year on the free board so I still got it about as much as I do now. All I posted was "is it fawking football season yet".

    No warning. No message. 7 day ban without even discussing it. That was just before the free boards went away and dawgboard (rip) was created. They were ultra salty about everything and were deleting every other post it seemed.

    Then a year later I found the free beer.

    Was too young and poor to give dawgman money, spent time on the freeboards during the early Romar era and the great negadawg debates.

    Followed race and idawg to the promise land,
    I still remember idawg concluding a pood saying www.huskyhalfbrain.com/board and then the visual assault of Sven started.

    I never understood why Kim was discussed so much. It’s like an old relationship, the more you hate the person the more stupid you look for ever trusting them in the first place.

    I think all I did was make some general comments incompatible with the worldview Kim/Fatters had decreed.

    You should always be careful if you ever block somebody on social media unless it is for outrageous behavior -- they will remember that. Nothing is worse for your reputation if it you were just making relatively sober comments of opinion.
