My bigger issue is that I don't care very much about Husky Football anymore. I would rather have root canal surgery than write an article about Jake Browning's surgically repaired shoulder (or whatever the fuck).ApostleofGrief said:
Derek seems like a nice guy but I have a feeling that the "Later Guys" might be from him. The tone of his announcements don't paint a picture of reaping money hand over fist. In fact it sounds exactly like exactly what is depicted in the article.allpurpleallgold said:

Well, I didn't invent the internet or the failing culture creation websites like this one. I think you invested in this. And I know you aren't a dude either in the fuck off bro-culture here. Don't invest heavily in it...allpurpleallgold said:

riiiiiiight.... well, actually I do but I didn't write the article -- one point is that weird assholes like you saying "fuck off" are one reason advertisers don't like their images sitting on the same screen.haie said:

This site is a huge success from the standpoint of giving the Half Brain culture a professional platform and home base. The financial future remains to be seen. The site broke even in 2016 and existed fully off donations. Let's see what happens for 2017. -

As someone who made a significant contribution to this site when it started, I never looked at it as an investment. I looked it as a way to help build something that I'd enjoy and 4+ years later, I'm still enjoying it.ApostleofGrief said:

You act like those of us who contributed expected some financial returns. I don't think any of us expected that. If it comes to that at some point in the future, great. If not, that's great too. -
You can't put a price on FREE PUB!!!!

Let me tell you what will happen for 2017. These cheap fucks will pony up or I will find them and set their houses on fire. Then this place will either break even or run a slight surplus, or a bunch of basement dwelling losers will be homeless. That's what will happen.DerekJohnson said:
