Hi all It's been brought to my attention that I was rude and ignored people at the last camp oh and I "couldn't give a toss" if people turned up or not. Those that have had the pleasure / misfortune (your call lol) to have met me will will I hope, know that that is furthest from the truth. We had over 100 people at both camps individually this year and I wore a hoody with my name on so hopefully people who haven't been before would know who i was. I met some lovely new faces and had some great chats, and also caught up with people i'd not seen for a while. If i failed to make you feel at home at camp i am truly sorry. I strive to make camps welcoming fo…

Hi All, Just a quick announcement to let you know that Chris (madmonk) has now been set to a site sponsor rather than a moderator due to other commitments (college etc) that he has on at the moment. Therefore it is time to hand over the reigns elsewhere for the time being (to be decided) and release Chris from his duties on the forum to concentrate on his qualifications etc. Would however like to say thankyou to Chris on being a moderator in the first place, as he has (and I hope will continue to do so) done a lot for the site, usually surrounding camp time when Chris is the most organised guy on earth lol.

Hi Guys, For those who dont know there will be an update to the forum at some point in the next year which is again quite a big one. Vbulletin, the software we use currently, is bringing out one of the biggest updates to its software I have seen since version 2 around 15 years ago. Lucky for me I have had the opportunity to be an early tester of the product and actually do the bug testing for the company so I have had many previews of this software already. So what I have done is to create an update of our forum from today where people can play. Bare in mind that the software is very very buggy at the moment as it is still a testing version, however this is a publi…

Hi All, At this time of year I guess everyone, like ourselves, will be quite on the forum as will be busy wrapping presents, running to the shops for that last thing they almost forgot, tidying around ready for people visiting over christmas and much more besides. So I thought I would take the opportunity now to say to everyone, have a very merry christmas and a happy new year from husky owners. This year has been a relatively quite one in comparison to other years, although we are still the busiest forum around relating to huskies. Over the next year this is something we hope to change and make 2013 our busiest year so far. Meets are already being planned as yo…

OK guys, this is the first time that people have been offered anything of this sort on the site, and likely to be very few and far between that this kind of thing will be offered on the site. As you know each year we aim to raise enough money to bring a member over from another part of the world to the UK for our official husky camp in April, and also to replenish items lost from previous camps such as the gazebo that was destroyed by wind usually used for the food area. There are various bits going on around the forum however we would like to offer you something different. We want you to go to the extreme!! What we would like is for people to come up with ide…

Hi Guys, Just to let you know the chat bar may well disapear for a while. This is because I am moving us over to a better service. This is one that we had used previously however had big problem with messages not being pushed from tab to tab. I am happy to see that the issue with that has now been fixed, and since it is a lot better service I am going with it.

Hi Guys, It was suggested by [MENTION=7]Dunc[/MENTION] the other day that since we have the steam room where people can let off steam, we should have one for people who are just the opposite and wanna share happy stuff. Therefore we now have a new forum that has been created. Sunshine & Lolipops will be for just that purpose

Hi Guys, We have taken the decision to remove husky dollars from the forum. In reality these werent really being used as much as we thought they might, the system was extremely bug ridden and also causing various issues around the forum and was therefore the right move for the forum. In addition to this I will be spending tonight reviewing some of the current items on the forum and getting rid if nessesary and adding some others that I feel we could really do with on here. This is along with messing with the general performance of the forums in order to try and remove some of the issues people have been having over the past few days.

Hi Guys, Due to the nature of a lot of the images from husky camp, and that of camps past which cannot be shown on the forum due to our forum rules I have decided to add a new section to the forum. Husky Camp extreme is a place for images from camp which would ordinarily not be allowed on the forum due to our policy of trying too keep it family friendly. However the problem with this is that these are very much at the heart of husky owners and we would like people to have the choice to see all the pics, no matter how bad LOL. What I have done is to set up a new usergroup called "husky owners extreme" to go alongside the forum of the same name. If you want the…

Hi Guys, I know a lot of you on UK camp have been before, however some havent and I would like people who are coming to read this regardless. I would like anyone who is coming to camp to bare the following in mind whilst they are there. I dont want to sit imposing rules on people as thats not what we are there for, however there will be some things that I expect and would appreciate if people would take on board. OUR CAMP - Our camp has been held at this location now on 2 previous occasions and this will be our 3rd. Please treat the site and its staff with respect as we enjoy being welcomed here each year. POO BAGS - May seem obvious, but I will sta…

Hi Guys, So I think I have done just about enough winding people up about what these are now, so its time to announce what this is all about. HUSKY OWNERS DOLLAR - OR HOD FOR SHORT HOD is something that you will begin to earn on and around the forum for various actions. Think of it as a forum game of earning points. The whole idea of this being that no matter who you are on the forum, no matter what usergroup, in this one activity is everything. Your HOD will be earned as anything in life by going to work, however this one is a job we all enjoy which is being on here. You will earn points based on your contribution towards the activity on the forum on…
