    Feld's mustache is top-notch. If I grew one, I'd definitely go for that look.

    Plus, I could get into the Steampunk scene.

    A girl in a leather corset easily adds +2 to her attractiveness level. One of mans greatest lost inventions.

    also you know she is down for some weird shit.

    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.

    I haven't even been over there enough to realize that.

    Coker was the secret sauce that was going to make that place (if it could have worked).

    Without him I'm much less optimistic that it will take off.

    Sucks for them, I was rooting for it to work.

    Hopefully they'll come back here when they realize it was for naught.

    Yup. Lots of folks at the Rose Bowl tailgate that I spoke with said they only listened to the podcast.
    That's a small tailgate with only 12 people ...

    in addition, it's kinda telling that there's a thread with like a billion page views and a million responses ... lamenting the fact that another site has shitty forums ...

    Don't believe all the .NET and node hipsters when it comes to php.

    Through Amazon's auto-scaling hosting stacks and open source libraries online you can do things with php that would cost tens of thousands of dollars just for the packages and then months of painful base C# to do the equivalent in .NET. redis out of the box and native MySQL if you can't afford Enterprise quality databases.

    It's one of the best decisions we ever made for one of our services that gets shit hammered almost 24 hours a day and costs us almost nothing to host and maintain.
    You sound upset

    It's either that or they suck. I know recruiting isn't about 1 single player, rather, it's about stockpiling talent. But if neither Osborne or Spiker end up, at least, 2nd team or All Pac or better, then a pox on TBSing!! I was assured these guys were all world, can't miss prospects.
    some of them might suck, but they almost certainly don't all suck.

    and they aren't going to get better unless we play them.
