Once the domain propagates the site might show up but it will be going down soon. I expect to have it all done this weekend.
Fuck!
My apologies again, this is what happens when you have bigtime jinx member like Harlan Huckleby and Red among GOOD, NORMAL forum posters. On a positive note the forum will be upgrading and likely get some new bells and whistles.
asshat
I wondered what was up...
OK Im gonna catch some Zs so I dont screw up the upgrade. Enjoy for a bit.
I thought we were gone for good.Quote:

Thanks Mad.
I hate bells and whistles!!!

Just figured Joe was back.
Upgrade complete. Try shit out see if anything is not working. Please report here not PM.
Almost forgot, if you are gonna bitch about something not working do it today because I still have more stuff to do and the site will be up and down this weekend.
Whew!
I am a creature of habit. Every morning first thing I check the board, and, then...well, you get the gist.
Back to normalcy.
Thanks for keeping the old girl going with upgrades. I missed reading you guys.
I was about to check out Christian Encourager.
Welcome Back. It makes my day that this place is up and running again.
If you want to send me your email (or follow PackerRats.com on Twitter) I can add you (or anyone else) to the support group :DQuote:

You would be surprised how easy it is to spot most of them.Quote:

I had actually forgotten that I was still a member at Packerforum.com. I even started a thread over there asking of anybody knew about what happened to this place, but no info.Quote:

Update? Looks like the same old same old to me. Maybe the battery drains a little quicker than before, otherwise just like before.
Hey! He may be a beaner but he's OUR beaner. I was afraid Mad had been deported. Is he an anchor baby?Quote:

My theory was that ransom-ware hackers had locked the place up and made the poorly calculated bet that Mad would pay eight bucks to get his site back.
You say that, but I've been on this site since 2009, and I still don't recognize the alter egos.Quote:

Someday, probably soon, Mad's chorizo-clogged arteries and raging blood pressure will send him to that great fiesta in the sky. There will just be packerrats darkness. I suggest people talk to each other at #packerrats to talk about what Madtown meant to each of us personally, and insist that pbmax put up a forum.
oh ya, case doesn't matter with hashtags. #PackerRats = #packerrats
pbmax, the other alternative is you could retweet every tweet you get at your account. But that might suck more than the hashtag way.
Madtown, why don't you tweet a message with #packerrats next time shit enters a fan. You must know a person under 30 who can show you how.
I thought Mad got picked up by ICE and the domain expired.
At least a buggy upgrade can be recovered from. Hope we didn't lose too many people permanently.
I was lost without this place. I tried to leave, but somehow got sucked back in.
