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

    I still don't get why they left. No idea how they could have lasted as long as they did and then finally get offended after 5+ years. Did it have to do with them saying they were putting up their own site and then when it didn't happen around Rose Bowl time the (expected) jokes about it made them sad? That's the only thing I can think of.

    I definitely think that was the turning point. Coker basically vanished from this site shortly after the Rose Bowl and DDY's presence gradually faded after that too.

    They are super fans of everything UW. Education, all sports, everything. This site is dedicated to the football program and friendly banter between pac 12 fans. It's that simple.

    Having a duck bored on a husky site is the equivalent of letting your neighbor's 35 year old unemployed strung out son live in your spare bedroom while tending to a grow op in your garage and eating out of your fridge. Just one example but they were never really going to stay here.

    I dont get any of this. Coker came back briefly as definitelynotcoker. Dennis was back as whatever he was. Then they were gone again.

    I thought they started their own thing because this place limited their ambitions a bit, and that their new one would always be kind of a companion site to this. They wouldn't be here as much because they'd be busier there and for no other reason.

    Then they struggled to launch and got teased a bunch, with a few even slinging shit at them and treating them like Chest. When they stopped coming on here I still just figured it had to do with changed priorities or something, not any kind of hard feelings.

    If theres more to it then that then, well, I guess i just dont GAF. Not my deal. I wish they were back running the recruiting board sans LMC, but its humming along ok without them too thanks to Courics, neighbor, dnc, and the rest.

    It's a question of trying to develop a public persona. On Twitter they have to pump up UW while restraining their all their angst, anger, and hysteria. They are trying to have influence as a UW AD shadow government.

    How does such a "leadership" role jibe with getting roasted on a message board, periodically? They can't handle both roles.

    They want to control conversation and message, not really debate it with others. Especially when they screw up.
