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.

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. -

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).Houhusky said:

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.
@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.

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.
