The Carolina Huddle

[HPPantherzfan]

I’ve been around this place since before this place, I have always loved it here.  We’ve had some of the best posters I’ve ever seen come and go!  I miss a lot of them, I miss the huddle tailgate at games to, those were good times.  I don’t have, nor do I want anything related to social media so this was then and is now my go to place for Panthers information, some laughs and sometimes to vent frustrations.  Hope this place never goes away and I hope one day some of the old posters that no longer frequent come back.. 

P.S.  I agree, bring back the lovely ladies thread, I know it’s still here just hidden!

Man.  It's been so long. I couldn't tell ya when I joined. Seems like eons ago.  

As life, alot has come and a lot has gone.  No doubt a lot of older members a are gone.  

It's true,  fan forums aren't like this place, despite it being a relic. 

I definitely have cut back posting. Still visit every day.  

Abd despite the disagreements, we're all Panther fans, and I'll always appreciate all of you.  

Keep Pounding

I think I was here in the 04ish range

I rose to power through feats of strength both on and off line. I now moderate this place like a sleepy nurse at a retirement community

I was once hip.  I’m now old enough to reject new forms of online communities bc people suck. Except for you. 

wtf is a Substack 

A substack is a new deli item.  It's a layered creation in which the turkey, ham, chicken and liver mush are alternately placed between pancakes.  Lettuce and tomato are between the top two layers of flapjacks.

Cooter, Kurb, others have passed on to glory….  Praise be.

Kurb is still alive and well.  I’m still friends with him on all of the social media.  He truly is a great man!  That’s my bro!  He always looked out for me since the early days of the huddle.  It definitely makes me sad that he just quit posting here, but that’s life.  He still shares his takes on social media and X, but a lot of the huddle vets just grew tired of this format and the environment, I guess?  It’s a lot of guys that were valuable contributors here that just stopped posting but are still alive and passionate Panthers fans.  Blindsite used to post huge write-ups and was a well-respected poster and then just disappeared.  We had one of these type threads several years ago and he checked back in and explained he just lost the motivation to stay active here.  It was amazing hearing from him again…
 

I signed up in 04 after coming over from the Charlotte.com boards and been here ever since.  (For those that don’t know - this is Proudiddy - had to change the name very recently due to ‘ol tootsie roll penis and the bad press ).  I’m forever thankful for all of you, even those who I haven’t had the greatest history with, I still appreciate yall.  Many have come and gone, both figuratively and literally, and that has put a lot into perspective over the years.  I went from a young, newly married, wide-eyed twenty year-old guy with a baby on the way, to a now forty-two year-old guy, recently divorced and newly re-married guy with my oldest baby now an adult and 5 more kids since.  And what ride it has been!  You guys have been a much bigger part of my life than I really care to acknowledge.

There are other outlets for sports talk these days. So, to a certain extent, this is a relic. It not being updated/maintained continues to keep it as a relic.

Panthers Reddit requires you to be a certain type of fan, or you may not enjoy your experience.

I don't come around as much as I did in the good old days. I take a long break after the season, will hang around for a bit at draft time, and then start to come back regularly sometime in preseason.

The other sources for our division rivals are all worthwhile to visit, and are very much alive and kicking. 

reddit is legit the worst place on the entire internet imo.
