I put my package together the Sunday of the announcement. The package was a bargain compared to the first class trip I've planned. At my age you go in a Cabulance or you don't goHuskyJW said:Derek,
I am sorry the packages fell through and was a waste of your time. With the internet today and all the different travel sites, I can create my own package in less than two minutes, so people nowadays know a ripoff when they see one. Unless you are Race's age and hate money you should never buy one of these tour packages...ever.
This place is phenomenal and the outlet you provide here is nothing short of fantastic. Let's keep the fundraising drive going (easy for me to say I'm not running this site). If companies don't want to be associated with HH because we tell people to "drink bleach"...well, they can drink gasoline and light a match.
I've learned a lot about Husky football being on here...I've come a long ways as a fan and I have met some great people.
And I agree with 2001400ex....people need to start being called out. -
Has BTP already sent his wish list to Santa?

You need to reach out to some of the classier scat porn sites. I'm sure they would like to advertise here.

But seriously, I think that about 30% - 50% of the page hits are from a small nucleus composed of half a dozen true OK! sociopaths and a half dozen sports nuts of the clinical variety. Personally I am not an asshole but the reality is that if you have almost no moderating then you get a lot of assholes hiding behind their anonymity, acting like tough guys in this environment, because this is the only type of place they can try to get away with it so as to compensate for their awful lives and low self esteem. that's just the way it works. The trolls will change but not the formula. Is there a spot on sports sites like this where you can hit a happy medium of "just enough" moderation? Probably not. So you are stuck in that spot where you get a enough hits but not enough moderation to attract respectable advertisers. It might be best to just adopt a minimum investment model, where you keep the board going but don't enhance, and don't develop more features, just use it as a platform for your book sales.

Well you have to keep in mind, the UW will not let me interview any players unless they are Woodinville players and I am writing for the Woodinville Weekly. As I said before, I'm in the weird position of having access to people like Ronnie Lott, but I can't interview the likes of Psalm Wooching.Doog_de_Jour said:I'm so sorry Derek that some longtime posters are harassing you and taking advantage of what are pretty lax rules. Obviously I can't tell you how to run your site, but I don't think it would be unreasonable to send those jackasses to the gulag. You don't need that additional stress in your life.
RE: books, while I think a third addition of the Don James book would be great, I think it would be wise (as @2001400ex mentioned) to start looking to more recent history for any future books. Remember, the demographics of the Husky fan base is changing fast, and many of your readers are more likely to pick up a book about Petersen, the Death Row defense, etc. -
