[Joe Bryant]

Congratulations to my friend David Dorey of The Huddle.

Many of you OGs know for a long time, The Huddle was our primary competitor. They also featured a very popular forum.

After 28 years, David is stepping away from The Huddle

Tunnel Vision - thanks and goodbye

Congratultions David! I've always admired the way you and Whitney and your team built things of such high quality and operated with such high integrity.

I admire how you've focused on excellence and competency and doing the things you wanted the right way. Compared to trying to amass the largest social media following or be the flashiest source with the hottest takes. Y'all are a great picture of pursuing happiness by doing work you can be proud of.

The world needs more of that and thank you for showing us the way.

All the best to you in what's next. Thank you for contributing so much to this fun game.

As a long time huddler, I can honestly say both you and David created wonderful places for people to create a community in each place.

Thank you both for doing that and tolerating all of us over the years. And pure class on your part to honor him.

I became a regular here because the Huddle forums went pay in 2001-ish. Both were extremely valuable resources in the early years of the internet.

Dorey showed the path forward for Fantasy Football. I for one am grateful.

Must’ve went back to free in 04 when I joined. I never paid for them and I was there a long time

Great read, thanks for sharing.

He's such a gem. What a wonderful career he's had in FF. Good good good guy too

Not sure how many of you here play dynasty leagues at the huddle but their forums have been down all day today which is a problem as many leagues are doing their RFA including some of mine right now. The biggest issue is if they never come back those forums have tons of leagues that rely on their use all year around.
Anyone else here use the huddle forums for their dynasty league ? Curious.

 

[BoltNlava]

uh yeah

The Huddle was very solid back in the day.

Wow, what a great story. Congrats to David Dorey for serving so many in the fantasy football community for so long so well!

It still amazes me that in this day and age of AI, automation and using simulation models, he still did his player and game projections by hand every week for every player.

and the Huddle has been offline for two days.

David leaves and the place goes poop

The Huddle hasn't been offline at all. The forums are undergoing maintenance but the site itself is fully accessible.

Yup, and it was probably the best thing to happen to FBG. I bet the Shark Pool membership doubled when that happened.

I must have missed this when originally posted. This is great, Joe. Real nice of you to post.

Probably. When did the Huddle make its forums free again?
