Oh, that's just me...
BTW, they say they're aware of the issue and are working on it.

Yes, the notification thing from the past two weeks has been irritating. I will put in a work order right now. If you truly think I don't give a shit, you are mistaken.[/b]
Also, I am 100% positive that when there is something substantive to talk about in regards to football, you will see it happening here. The problem is that there's not much to discuss when it comes to Husky football. Hardcore Husky has always been about keeping it real and not making waves when no wind is blowing, so to speak.
I just hope once the season starts it will be more about football than malarkey. Likely wont' be though. I think Canadawg has a point - even the jaded guys here (and especially them) have a lot of football knowledge that would be cool to read, see their analysis. I'm not that guy - but those that are could make this board better I think. Tell us why Asa sucks (yeah I see he misses tackles, isn't physical, etc.); but I bet he's also out of position, doesn't react properly, is some of that coaching, are all DBs underperforming. Make a case and show off your football insights. I wouldn't even know whether you're right, but its fun to read people who at least present themselves as knowing their stuff. And points for mock ups, step by step explanations of how a play broke down, etc. I know that stuff is time consuming, but can really add value.
Yeah I definitely recognize the malarkey keeps the machine running I just mean there could be an emphasis on not squashing legitimate discussion when it does come up and possibly give it a more established platform somehow. I guarantee there are people who have popped in here over the years looking for husky football talk get turned off by the ratio of nonsense.
For me it was noticeable a few years ago when some posters left for their own site because alot of them were bringing interesting football discussions and recruiting. Obviously their formula (and website itself) was a train wreck but now there's a discord channel funneling in people desperate for a cohesive husky football outlet and I just find it a shame that this site isn't where people are landing.

Please to be providing examples of actual cause and effect. Sure people left but maybe because they could not take legitimate criticism.
A delete button. Would also be nice to block seeing shit posts from certain posters.
Amen to that, my brother.
I get why there are vote buttons for posts but I would hazard a guess that if they were taken away there would be more comments in general and less pandering posts and comments

Can you give me general examples of the pandering you're talking about? I don't see much pandering going on, except maybe in the Tug Tavern a little.
Hard to come up with examples but I meant jokes people know will get chins and likes. It's a quick high but doesn't add substance to the site and clogs up discussion. 81st time type jokes, pea patch complaints and nonsense puppy stories have a place I'm sure but would be nice to talk football sometimes. Maybe a "Serious Football Thread" of some type would be worth trying?
We can't have a good offense our program is built on DEFENSE!!
Keep malarkey and[/b] bolster legitimate football talk and the posters that bring it.

There was this story about engineers trying to figure out how best to protect bombers coming back from Europe. The engineers meticulously tallied every spot on the plane from the returning bombers, indicating where the damage was coming from. They said let’s put more armor on those locations. Well, a man much smarter said the armor doesn’t go where the bullet holes are. It goes where the bullet holes aren’t: on the engines. The damaged planes came back because they didn’t get shot in the engines. The missing evidence didn’t make it back.
TL;DR stop asking this group of fuck sticks, pussy footers, cock gobblers, and doog deniers their opinion on how to make this place better. You need to go ask the poasters who left why’d they leave. I’d start on 8chan.
