They made a discord.... The audacity of not inviting everyone. Pfft. lol

Sons-o-bitches! I didn't know either, but I'm not interested in echo chambers either, so...they can have it! The Huddle, even a broken one, is still on top of the hill

Do you remember the asking price by chance? 

I would assume Igo has to be making some money, or the site wouldn't be worth buying. The site must be at least have to be self-sustaining. I wouldn't even want it if it wasn't at least that. 

The only way I would figure that Igo would neglect the site as he has is that he has lost interest, but the site is still making money on a small margin, enough to pay for itself under current conditions, and/or he needs the money--- or is simply using the money for other things and bleeding it dry. It may be to the point that he doesn't want to put any more resources into it because it would actually cost him money. I don't know, all I can do is speculate. I do know that the site needs to be fixed. I just got my year's badge under an alt. That's crazy. It's been a year since I lost access to my regular account, and nothing has been done. Well, I guess "Top Dawg" is no more. LOL 

Igo probably just has a lot going on. At least he says he's going to right the ship. We'll see. 

 

I can't remember the details nor the user's original name here, but they're very active in other Panthers-related hubs. I don't want to guess on something that's already hearsay... we see how that goes with team owners let alone site owners. 😛

"toxicity" meaning we didn't use mod powers to create a personal echo chamber for them.

Sure seems this place is overall considerably less toxic after most of the people whining about people having the audacity to express football opinions on a forum built to discuss football up and left. I hope they're happy at their Discord. They wanted an echo chamber and they made themselves one. It worked out best for everyone.

Toxicity meaning that you yourself were engaging in personal attacks and poo posting, so the most unstable users felt empowered to do the same. Considering that you're bitching less, it's no surprise they're following suit.

The discord was also formed loooong before you shitted things up here. You should give it a shot, you might learn something about football.

Why don't you just go enjoy Discord? You constantly keep bringing this stuff up. You're the only poster left here who does. Everyone else who just whines all the time left. They found somewhere else they're happier. That's good. That's how things should work. Maybe you should follow their lead.

I have enjoyed the Discord. It's been awesome getting the more stable and knowledgeable posters from the Huddle over in there as well since there's good discussions going on and a lot of good information being shared. There's a decent bit of info I bring over here from there.

There are also people that I enjoy here and engage with. Sometimes that means witnessing you ignoring information in favor of an unfettered opinion that you've taken a shine to pushing (such as "all the whiners left" when you're still right here bitching like you always have). If it hurts your feelings to know that there's a place that people have gone because of the environment you've perpetuated, that's something for you to work on.

What exactly do you contribute to the board other than running off quality posters and enabling poo posters? I don't see any analysis, breakdowns, etc from you.

Opinions are like assholes, everyone got one.  Your definition of quality might be very different from definition on this board.  Also, I know Lin pretty well and I can tell you… he ain’t losing any sleep at night knowing there’s a discord group.

For the past 20+ years folks tried to mimic huddle and replace it, it always failed.  This discord account won’t be any different.

I find it ironic that you accuse me of "shitting" up the forum while you're the one actively shitting up this thread with a bizarre personal vendetta. LOL

There's an ignore feature. Use it.

You don't like how this place is ran. Evidently that's all my fault. But you keep coming back to cry about it.

I don't post as much anymore but  i check this site everyday.  I see the value in Reediitt, but the hardcore Panther historians are here, and also we've all known each other so long that it really in a tight nit community here.  It would be dope if we all had custom shop jerseys with our Huddlenames on it and met up at the games.

 

I don't know if the Huddle will grow or not, but the people who've invested years of their life on this site will never leave.

Oh for sure. Some folks want an argumentative mess where they can bounce around in the chaos and that's fine. Though seeing as how the numbers for the server keep going up meanwhile we don't see many new posters here that aren't alt accounts... so... idk about that last part...

I also have zero doubt that LG isn't losing any sleep over this because that's not exactly something that somebody with NPD would do (which explains why he felt justified in promoting toxic behavior while trying to make it appear as if the people that left in opposition to it were unreasonable).

The biggest thing that's hurt the Huddle is the same thing that's hurt Panthers fandom in general. We have sucked for years now. That's rough on a fanbase. The heyday of Internet forums is largely over. That's just the reality. Social media largely replaced forums and then Reddit came along and built a large all encompassing forum that sucked up a lot of the traditional forum users. It is what it is. But there's a pretty solid group of dedicated users here and if the Panthers start winning again it'll grow. A lot of folks who have drifted off will probably come back.

But here's the thing, anyone who has stuck around whether you agree with them or not, whether you like them or not they are absolute diehards. You can't truly enjoy the good times if you're not willing to suffer through the bad times.

Dude... you keep complaining about an argumentative mess while you are the only one trolling for an argument. YOU ARE BEING THE TOXICITY.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By ladypanther · Posted

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
