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

The basketball board after ChillyDawg

I had asked ChillyDawg to refrain from posting on the basketball board for awhile. He ignored the message and kept on posting. His overall intentions with Hardcore Husky were good but the road to hell is paved with good intentions. He demonstrated this by completely murdering the basketball board. Nobody but him posted there anymore. I did not arrive at this decision easily, but for the good of the boards I had no choice but to let him go.

    While I often wished Chilly would STFU, in fairness I will say that it wasn't Chilly, but the shitty basketball team and UW/Cohen's unwillingness or inability to part ways with Hopkins that kept me from visiting that bored. I have zero interest in UW basketball right now and the banning hasn't changed that.
    But you do you.

    That's why I had to run AZduck. I did it for the greater good.

    So much for free speech. Good job Stalin.

    It wouldn't surprise me if @ChillyDawg was the UW athletic departments (or Karen Ramming's) good faith attempt at generating and promoting online UW sports content.

    Something wasn't right with that picture. But I don't know what. if he was from UW, he wouldn't have been calling for Hop's firing.

    I know of few individuals more committed to freedom of speech than Stalin. But at the end of the day, there's no absolute right to free speech, especially on a site which isn't the public square. You can't yell fire in a movie theater and you can't spam the fuck out of Stalin's boreds.

    If he would have just dialed back on the posting everything would have been fine on my end.

    No one cares about Husky basketball but there was activity as well as some hot NBA talk once in awhile. All buried

    Husky B Ball wins off season natties too you know

    When the Blazers playoff threads starts up, they will come back.

    Chilli was just a UW AD troll trying to make REAL negahoops dawgs look bad?!?!?

    I think it has more to do with Husky Basketball being as competitive in the Pac 12 as Sultan High School would be and the NBA being complete AIDS more than it does with Chilly. The Senior Thesis threads didn't help but I probably wouldn't be going over there regardless until Hop is fired.

    This. I hate the NBA but still casually follow it because I am a loser and hate myself. There was always some good NBA hot talk to go along with the occasional Detlef gif.

    Poor guy was delusional.

    I try to ask myself before any new thread, will anyone care, laff, etc.

    Even my occasional gay rowboat posts are good for a few chins.
