Can you give me general examples of the pandering you're talking about? I don't see much pandering going on, except maybe in the Tug Tavern a little.Canadawg said:I get why there are vote buttons for posts but I would hazard a guess that if they were taken away there would be more comments in general and less pandering posts and comments

This bored is the perfect blend of malarkey and football talk. If we have a good team, the balance will shift a little to more football related with the same underlying tomfoolery we are accustomed to. -
Hard to come up with examples but I meant jokes people know will get chins and likes. It's a quick high but doesn't add substance to the site and clogs up discussion. 81st time type jokes, pea patch complaints and nonsense puppy stories have a place I'm sure but would be nice to talk football sometimes. Maybe a "Serious Football Thread" of some type would be worth trying?DerekJohnson said:

I post football stories every day and the thing is the excitement level for this team on a scale of 1-10 is about -4. The boards will reflect the level of interest and excitement in the team.Canadawg said:

Like so many you have now posted numerous boring posts about how you don't like the malarkey postsCanadawg said:

Think about how dead this bored would be after the Jimmy Lake firing if there was no malarky. It is not a mutually exclusive thing.Canadawg said:

Stalin is at his wit's end because he is trying to revive it. Posting football articles daily and podding regularly. But those who can provide interesting discussion are as burned out on bad Husky football as the rest of us.
DeBoner needs to have some early success and fan enthusiasm will follow. But right now, the only thing that will save this bored is time and winning. (I am kind of hoping that an actual football game will start things rolling. .. but it may take several. ) -
Yeah I definitely recognize the malarkey keeps the machine running I just mean there could be an emphasis on not squashing legitimate discussion when it does come up and possibly give it a more established platform somehow. I guarantee there are people who have popped in here over the years looking for husky football talk get turned off by the ratio of nonsense.
For me it was noticeable a few years ago when some posters left for their own site because alot of them were bringing interesting football discussions and recruiting. Obviously their formula (and website itself) was a train wreck but now there's a discord channel funneling in people desperate for a cohesive husky football outlet and I just find it a shame that this site isn't where people are landing. -
UW just needs to win.
I stay interested even when they suck because I don't have a life. I focus on individual players that interest me. The board as a whole, though, needs some motivation in the form of winning before Xs and Os and individual players (aside from shitty ones) get much notice. The post quality goes up quickly then.
