We are finding more "adult" jokes being posted containing strong sexual references, nudity / high degree of swearing. These are removed by the staff however should these continue to be posted the repeat offenders will have their posts moderated in that section so people are not offended. Please realize we are a FAMILY forum, I have kids that come on here and i would not want them reading some of the things that are posted. That is all

As you all know at our Husky Camp 2011 we were joined by Jos (aka Bluewolf) from the Netherlands. This got us thinking about how we can get members from abroad to some of our meets so....... we have decided to try and fund raise throughout the year to raise money for a member from overseas to join us at our annual camping event!! Accommodation will be provided all you would need is clothes and a camera. You would also be collected from the airport and taken back after the mini break. Hopefully this will give our overseas members something exciting to look forward to! So - how will it work? Well, nearer the time - pr…

Another nice thing to post As you all know - we've all been following the journey of Chukchi - who now has a new name Eponine. (See this thread http://www.husky-owners.com/forum/threads/chukchi-eponine.25876/ ) I'm sure you'll all agree @Cathy has gone way above and beyond the call of duty in getting Eponine to her new home with Stephanie @Fox Tink & Eponine As an example alone - Cathy traveled over 950 miles to take this girl to her special home! Words cannot even begin to describe the effort that has been put in by both these amazingly wonderful people and i wish i could do more than what i'm doing now. I've pr…

Hi guys, You will notice there have been a few changes to the forum layout. I have done this for a few reasons. Some sections were not being used so much and have therefore been merged into others More used sections have been moved higher up on the forum to make them more quickly accessable I have recategorised some items which should make it a little easier for some of our newer members to find where to post For search engine optimisation reasons - Some names may have slightly changed, and some more may be doing shortly along with descriptions. Dont worry Im not going to change them too much as we are used to their names Most notibly you…

Hi Guys, Not often that I put an announcement out to say about records that we create with regards to activity on the site, as more often than not we are moving forward on a month by month basis. This month however has seen a significant increase. Highest month on record before last month was 22,500 (obviously rounded lol). This month we beat that highest month on record by a MASSIVE 8000 posts making our new record 30500 posts in a single month!!!! So congratulations everyone. Its your forum, and it is only what we all make of it. The friendly atmosphere around the forum as of late is obviously making a big difference to the way people feel abo…

Once upon a time Sarah my wife had a thought about something that she thought would be a good idea. I was spending a lot of time building a gaming forum online and it was driving her nuts due to the time I was spending online, just sat at my computer typing away, occasionally chuckling to myself and enjoying myself on a forum which was built around people who had similar hobbies. It has been something that I have enjoyed for years, and something I wasnt willing to give up for the world. Sarah wanted in on the action, and I relutantly built her a forum that would never work, she would never be interested in, and would last 2 mins in reality. That foru…

Hey people! Just a small announcement to tell you that you can now have photos and other attachments inside conversations as well! It works just like uploading one to a regular post on the forum Please note that if one of the participant where to send the direct link to the photo to any of the other members, that person will be able to see it, regardless if that person is in the conversation or not. Oh and if someone dares to put a cute photo of their husky in a conversation and NOT share it with the rest on the forum, we WILL find you!

Hi Guys, As most of you will already know, we have been offline for the past 4-5 hours. This was caused by a failure in a main componant at the datacenter (where our host has all its servers, and many other hosts too) and also meant that the backup devices also failed. I am waiting for confirmation at present as to whether this is a permanant fix, or mearly a temp solution to get the servers back up and running due to many places running businesses from this datacenter. If it is a temp fix then there is a good possibility that some downtime may occur again yet. If this is the case I will try to keep people updated via facebook, and where possible let peopl…

Hi Guys, Just to let you know Im aware of the issues that we are having on the site at the moment. The server is being more optimised to suit the xenforo software better, however in the process some bits seem to have gone wrong which are knocking the site offline. This is being worked on at present so bare with me.

Hi all, Just a quick message to say it is nice to see the forum the way that it is at the moment. I'm posting this because its all to often that is is posted to say there is xyz problem and that we have had to change the rules because of this, that and the other. And nothing is ever posted to say how good the place is. There have been a lot of things said out and around the web, and it seems I have been the scapegoat in a lot of it. Well, such is life. It seems the truth has been omited in a lot of places, and comments that have been said have been assumed to have come from me when I was in fact the one to remove them, not the one to say them. B…

Hi All, There is already a post on this, however I'm posting this up as I feel this is something I would like to come from the site as a whole. Its members, its staff, both present and past. Last year I had the pleasure of meeting someone who had more than a husky. She had a wolf! OK a hybrid, but to me its as close to a wolf as I will ever have the nerve enough to go near. I think most of us all know that I am talking about Rachels (Dygosamakita) Nikita. The whole look and even stature of a wolf Nikita has and brings about a lot of joy for everyone to be around. I have shown pictures of Nikita to my friends, my collegues at work after last years cam…

Hi Guys, As you may or may not know, husky owners is now developing completely custom addons for itself. Jos has joined the admin team for this reason to work alongside myself developing stuff for the forum and we now have our first decent sized addition to the forum that is completely unique to husky owners alone. The other day I made an announcement saying I had made a change to the top posters to ensure that it shows the last 24 hours rather than of all time. In this conversation Andy came up with the excellent idea of a league table for the posters. From this we have then taken the idea and converted it into something a little more fun and complex. …

Hi Guys, Most of you know what has been going on over the past few weeks, and most of you know the people involved, if you were involved yourself etc etc. Im putting a stop to it all. Over the past 48 hours everything has come to a sharp cliff edge in which husky owners near fell off. This is something that we have always said will not happen, and we're sticking by that. Facebook conversations will now be ignored by myself and I do not wish to know what conversations are going on away from this site, from anyone. I thank you to the people who have given me information, however this is doing the site no good anymore. It is importunately making a compl…

Ok, here goes a really long post! First off yes i'm back - I've decided my life would be easier on here - my god i've nearly worn away all the buttons on my phone!!! A huge thank you to everyone for your kind words of encouragement and for chewing my ears well and truly off!! Appologies if I ramble on somewhat but I hope you understand my gibberish . I've not been "home" for a week, i stayed away from facebook as well but things didn't improve. To cheer myself up i went and bought a new lap top (woooo!!!! it's FAST!!) and have been playing the sims on it every night - I now have 3 kids to look after on there and i'm pregnant wi…

Hi Guys, With the move of the site etc I have become a little lapse of late with the updating of site sponsors. I have now updated these so if you have been waiting, my appologies. Anyone who has been removed from this area who feels they should not have been, mistakes do happen so please send a message over to my inbox and I will have a look for you.

Hi Guys, There have been some conversations going on over the past couple of weeks regarding the rehome section of the forum. There have been members who have no doubt been signing up to the forum looking for a free husky for breeding, and also we have had people in the past that have been getting them simply to sell on in order to make money. All of this is obviously a problem. As it is very difficult for any of us to say who is genuine and who is not, we have decided to place some restrictions on the rehome section of the forum. From now on nobody who is not registered on the forum will be able to even see that the area exists, which will stop people sig…

Another excellent new feature we have now got on the forum is the ability to tag a users name in a post. To illustrate: @Sarah is my wife and @Dunc is my Dad . Because I have written their usernames in this way, both of them will have recieved an alert via the alert system to say that their names have been tagged in this post. Hope you enjoy the new features
