This forum is what happens when 20+ trolls meet. I get really fucking irritated with some of the repetitive jokes here...it's not funny IMO. I yawn.. That said, I post on some various facebook boards and typically become one of the dominant-asshole-trolls myself on many of those boards, out of boredom. I probably get called an asshole at least once a week on at least one of those. Ive realized that I am an arrogant prick. There are a lot of narcissistic trolls here on this site, myself included....perhaps we are just naturally drawn to one another...sort of like how inmates are drawn to each others' criminal knowledge in a prison. I accept that some are going to possibly annoy me as much as I will probably and inevitably annoy them with my own style of posting...but ultimately I would appreciate this site more if it cut out the fat and were less repetitive and had more creativity. I get bored easily with the 23 daily repitions. Props to Derek Johnson for moderating this site...I wouldn't want that job.I suspect one day hell get very tired of doing it, especially with the repeated stuff.

LOL. I bet my buddy it would take less than 5 minutes for some meat head to come back with NO factual arguments, but make this a personal thing or some BS about people being too "PC."
I WON THE BET! THANK YOU!
This post on the Football Board proves that this type of thing is not confined to the "tug" board.
This type of thing has - sadly - seeped into our national politics.

This thread has become exhausting. But, it does ease the frustration.
I hate that the BDTW guys have basically vanished. Chest left years ago, so whatever. Also thought his goodbye post was bullshit. AIRWOLF was never super active here. I suppose our juvenile antics did not appeal. Whatever.
I do miss Dennis and Coker and Tequilla and LMC though. That's a rough four to "lose."
I had a number of talks with a couple of them before they left, and at least they exited in a classy Nebraska way. I can appreciate what they are trying to do. That said, it seems everyone who gets a little personal brand exposure and has any kind of vision for how they want things to work feels the need to leave and do their own thing. That blows. For all of us.
As others have mentioned, this isn't the SEC. And even the SEC teams don't have 4-5 sites vying for attention. You can only split the baby so many ways. Doogfarm and Roof have the retard and casual segment all sewn up. UWDawgPound has the normals. HH has the bomb throwers and degenerates. So now we needed BDTW for the metrics folks? I will agree they specialize in recruiting and game breakdowns as well, but you can also find game stuff on UWDP and recruiting for tards with Roof and the LPT. Sure BDTW might be better at that stuff, but it is still the same stuff. And now a 5th website for a Pac-12 team.
I just don't get it. Reminds me of Baptist churches in the deep south. A church starts out with 200 members. And every year there is some renegade breakoff because of religious purity, or some type of drama, or the need to be different. Some farmer gives the breakaways an acre of land and they throw up a church of their own. 15 years later you have 22 Baptist churches all in two square miles and a dozen people going to each one of them on Sundays. Splintered. And everyone winds up the worse for it.
I miss the value those guys brought to the bored. But like many of you, I don't have time to closely follow two sites. I have time for here. So there is no there. I don't even do Twatter, because I hate Twatter plus no time for it. I wish there would have been a way to keep them here, but they wanted to go their own way. We are all diminished for it. Them included.
As usual, the noblest of savages is right on the money. In this era of so much media available at the click of the button, most of us simply don't the time to be a devotee of another site. We don't need the Church of the 5th revelation.
To add a final sincere wrapping to what you and @Swaye have so perfectly stated;
@DerekJohnson has pretty much been the perfect admin/internet janitor... He has been incredibly generous to people that have used him and this site, takes nothing personally, lets people pretty much run wild, doesnt mind people attacking him, hasnt gone power/fame hungry, has kept things free and made paying optional, never sold out to UW or the AD, and stayed above the basement filth that permeates this board but somehow still understands it all.
Stalins ability to run this cesspool of filth so even evenhandedly and effectively without going on some deranged power trip or mental break is almost as unique as HardcoreHusky itself.

You fucking nailed it. I suck Derek off a lot in PMs so I have no issue doing it in the light of day. What we have here is so fucking unique it's basically a goddamn unicorn. Or a @SpiritHorse if you will. And it is all because of DJ. Say what you want about some of the larger than life personalities here, but none of them would be shit without a steady helmsman keeping this pirate ship pointed into the swells (I love gay nautical shit).
So much shit gets thrown at him behind the scenes that you dunces wouldn't believe. No complaining. No retribution. Just stoic stewardship of his great creation. I fucking love the guy. No homo.

I think those guys attempted to split the difference between here and the other sites. A Nebraska Classy HH that didn't have all of the "damaging filth" but had all of the passion and intelligent takes. [Copy pasta of "what HH could be for serious dog fans" here]
This place could remain the pirate ship of never-do-wells but they'd have a place for "serious talk" that wasn't "damaging" to recruiting is what I saw it as. I think they aimed to usurp all the people dissatisfied with LPT's incompetence, Ruth's chinsanity, and Doogpounds Doogish "everything is great!".
The trouble is that there's a lot of "group inertia" and a most of the idiots paying for those sites aren't THAT dissatisfied otherwise they'd be here. Combine that with them essentially losing Coker and flubbing the opening kickoff and it's going to take them a lot of time to attract an active user base. Even more so if they aren't consistently generating content to hash since the site isn't at a point like here where the content is generated by the user base.
DDY is self admitted fast strategy and lots of the current issues they are having have all the marks of a fast strategy launch of a business. That said, I respect that he has a vision and I hope they all persist in their efforts to make something better than those other sites for all of husky fans. It would be good for this place and for them if recruits and their parents read their stuff and not our low brow filth and sometimes not obviously ironic enough racism. This place really shouldn't be the "Go To" place for recruits (or others) to land when they google Washington Football. It would be good for all husky fans if the best aspects of this place were translated into a "clean" flagship that took over the market the other three shitty sites currently divide while this place remained the wonderland of free speech and dark humor.

So much shit gets thrown at him behind the scenes that you dunces wouldn't believe. No complaining. No retribution. Just stoic stewardship of his great creation. I fucking love the guy. No homo.
Baze is the pilot. Race is the construction dude. CFetters is the Army gay. Damone is the cop (lulz). Queer cowboy is Dennis (RIP). Nerd on the side is Grundle. I'll let you guess who I am.
Maybe I should start growing a Minshew 'stache.
Maybe?
With my bald head and a 'stache, I'd definitely look like The Iron Sheik.
I've been in a client meeting the last half hour giving zero fucks not listening at all and just posting here. When Orkin fires me, can you put in a good word at Uber for me?
I hate that the BDTW guys have basically vanished. Chest left years ago, so whatever. Also thought his goodbye post was bullshit. AIRWOLF was never super active here. I suppose our juvenile antics did not appeal. Whatever.
I do miss Dennis and Coker and Tequilla and LMC though. That's a rough four to "lose."
I had a number of talks with a couple of them before they left, and at least they exited in a classy Nebraska way. I can appreciate what they are trying to do. That said, it seems everyone who gets a little personal brand exposure and has any kind of vision for how they want things to work feels the need to leave and do their own thing. That blows. For all of us.
As others have mentioned, this isn't the SEC. And even the SEC teams don't have 4-5 sites vying for attention. You can only split the baby so many ways. Doogfarm and Roof have the retard and casual segment all sewn up. UWDawgPound has the normals. HH has the bomb throwers and degenerates. So now we needed BDTW for the metrics folks? I will agree they specialize in recruiting and game breakdowns as well, but you can also find game stuff on UWDP and recruiting for tards with Roof and the LPT. Sure BDTW might be better at that stuff, but it is still the same stuff. And now a 5th website for a Pac-12 team.
I just don't get it. Reminds me of Baptist churches in the deep south. A church starts out with 200 members. And every year there is some renegade breakoff because of religious purity, or some type of drama, or the need to be different. Some farmer gives the breakaways an acre of land and they throw up a church of their own. 15 years later you have 22 Baptist churches all in two square miles and a dozen people going to each one of them on Sundays. Splintered. And everyone winds up the worse for it.
I miss the value those guys brought to the bored. But like many of you, I don't have time to closely follow two sites. I have time for here. So there is no there. I don't even do Twatter, because I hate Twatter plus no time for it. I wish there would have been a way to keep them here, but they wanted to go their own way. We are all diminished for it. Them included.
As usual, the noblest of savages is right on the money. In this era of so much media available at the click of the button, most of us simply don't the time to be a devotee of another site. We don't need the Church of the 5th revelation.
To add a final sincere wrapping to what you and @Swaye have so perfectly stated;
@DerekJohnson has pretty much been the perfect admin/internet janitor... He has been incredibly generous to people that have used him and this site, takes nothing personally, lets people pretty much run wild, doesnt mind people attacking him, hasnt gone power/fame hungry, has kept things free and made paying optional, never sold out to UW or the AD, and stayed above the basement filth that permeates this board but somehow still understands it all.
Stalins ability to run this cesspool of filth so even evenhandedly and effectively without going on some deranged power trip or mental break is almost as unique as HardcoreHusky itself.

You fucking nailed it. I suck Derek off a lot in PMs so I have no issue doing it in the light of day. What we have here is so fucking unique it's basically a goddamn unicorn. Or a @SpiritHorse if you will. And it is all because of DJ. Say what you want about some of the larger than life personalities here, but none of them would be shit without a steady helmsman keeping this pirate ship pointed into the swells (I love gay nautical shit).

upon reflection the fact that there is an 8 page thread about husky websites is a strong indicator that we should all asphyxiate ourselves
8 pages is just the start, there is enough potential in this threat to push it into SavellSmalls and HuskyJacks length if people just put in some damn effort.
If this were the offseason we would already be at page 15, but instead were in that awkward period where we lost to Cal, the season is over, but the off season hasnt started yet.

I WON THE BET! THANK YOU!
This post on the Football Board proves that this type of thing is not confined to the "tug" board.
This type of thing has - sadly - seeped into our national politics.
Bring on the coed matchups.
This place could remain the pirate ship of never-do-wells but they'd have a place for "serious talk" that wasn't "damaging" to recruiting is what I saw it as. I think they aimed to usurp all the people dissatisfied with LPT's incompetence, Ruth's chinsanity, and Doogpounds Doogish "everything is great!".
The trouble is that there's a lot of "group inertia" and a most of the idiots paying for those sites aren't THAT dissatisfied otherwise they'd be here. Combine that with them essentially losing Coker and flubbing the opening kickoff and it's going to take them a lot of time to attract an active user base. Even more so if they aren't consistently generating content to hash since the site isn't at a point like here where the content is generated by the user base.
DDY is self admitted fast strategy and lots of the current issues they are having have all the marks of a fast strategy launch of a business. That said, I respect that he has a vision and I hope they all persist in their efforts to make something better than those other sites for all of husky fans. It would be good for this place and for them if recruits and their parents read their stuff and not our low brow filth and sometimes not obviously ironic enough racism. This place really shouldn't be the "Go To" place for recruits (or others) to land when they google Washington Football. It would be good for all husky fans if the best aspects of this place were translated into a "clean" flagship that took over the market the other three shitty sites currently divide while this place remained the wonderland of free speech and dark humor.
