State of the Huddle 2021

[Zod]

Friends, Huddlers, Countryfolk, lend me your beers. 

 

This is your official 2021 State of the Huddle address. 

I am not going to lie. As you can imagine, 2020 was a devastating year in many respects and the Huddle was not immune from it. 2020 took a big toll on many of us personally and financially. It was a complete poo show, from top to bottom. 

To make matters more difficult, 2020 was also the year the Panthers decided to rebuild. Although necessary, it didn't exactly help things in terms of fan support. I've spoken with numerous outlets and 2020 was equally rough for everyone. 

That was the past and I am ready to put it behind us. I hope you are as well. 

Since January 1 I have been working behind the scenes on several improvements to the Huddle. A new year's cleansing if you will. Some of the updates include:

- A Server Upgrade to the latest stable software levels. 

- An upgrade to the huddle software itself, bringing a new look and new features. 

- Banning Donald Trump from the Huddle. 

- Replacing the blog front page with our community page. 

- Streamlining the community front page ( check it out )

- Activating an automatic moderation system

 

I am hopeful that 2021 will bring a new exciting era to the Carolina Panthers team we all know and love starting with a GM and draft pick that excites us deep down in our loins. 

Thank you for sticking around in 2020. I know it was contentious at times (many times) and the season overall was far from memorable. And yet here we are, ready for bigger and better things.

This past year, particularly the last few months have been probably the hardest time in my life. I have been in a deep dark depression. I'm sorry if I lashed out at anyone on here. I pray 2021 is better.

Many of us have gone through similar this year brother. Better times ahead.

Sending good vibes your way, hope things get better for you and anyone feeling similar.

I'm gonna need a raise if I'm gonna keep working here.

I should be making at least twice what I'm making now.

Sounds like a steal.

I don't think it will be. With everything going on, sounds like 2021 will be worst or on par with 2020. Prepare thy Anus.

I'm hopeful it'll be better. Hell, hope is all we have. Prepare for the worst, hope for the best.

Things pretty much suck all over and it's been tough to stay positive. Likely why I get frustrated with such negativity around such meaningless things as sports.

Well then consider it done.   $0 x 2= $0.

Indeed.

I don't think fan support is down just because we are rebuilding, its the way we chose to rebuild that has a lot us scratching our heads.

[Mr. Scot]

Gettling a new GM is probably gonna help.

I know there are loads of inpatient Panther fans on Twitter chomping at the bit to hear some news.
