I don't hate you, Skinbasket, I hate your sins, which are many and egregious.
Skinbasket summoned me here for commentary, but I can't follow this movie. Joe is Madtown, who is really retailguy's alterego? I was promised a "bomb", Retailguy being the strong-but-silent guy Joe is more of a cap pistol.
I do miss Madtown, maybe it is hostage syndrome or something.

You promise a guy a little shaved balls action and it's like a motherfucking bat signal.

Good to see you Harlan! I'm glad you're not dead.
But on the flip side, you're not dead.
Whats up you fucking bitch?? Please tell me you are coming back. I swear I will let you burn the ants.
heee heee heee. I do think about you quite often, every time I make eye contact with a Mexican guy who seems mild and harmless, I think about what could be lurking beneath the surface.
This forum does have the best characters anywhere. I think I might be punched out, like an old boxer. Are you really going to resucitate Tyrone? Good.
I'll twitter Partial a cockshot and see if he still wants back.

Damn, ask and you shall receive.

Now all we need is partial and Tyronne to post in this thread.

I'm telling you people, you go to work for 10 stinking hours and all hell breaks loose! This is way better than Weinergate.

Seemed like a good time to rehash this bit of packerrat lore...

reminds me of the funniest sequence in Packerrats history - Harlan posts his pic and SC IMMEDIATELY posts it as his avatar. Took me hours to recover from the coffee that shot out my nose.

God help me, I even miss Harlan. I was looking for his lonely countenance when I was in Madison last summer for an aging meeting. Could have added 20 years to your life if I could have slipped you some super-resveratrol.

I thought it was pretty funny too - till somebody asked if that was really me. Ouch.

Retail, you are on my ignore list, so I had un-ignore you to find this treasure. So Madtown freaks and you - even though you don't know what you're doing - take over. Geezus that explains everything......at least it explains this:

Yup, there's a lot here to find fault with.
The pic you posted was the homepage issued with Vbulletin. Once we figured out how to operate it, those canned stories got removed and replaced with actual articles. But, the homepage wasn't the priority, nor was the garbage can, which took weeks to figure out. Sometimes change is painful. This software was very different than the old stuff was. some stuff was easier to figure out and some of it wasn't. In this case, we used the furnished articles to get the layout right and then we put up our content.
Hope you didn't have to unblock me to read this, but if you did, I understand.
Actually, I blocked you because we were like oil and water there for a while and it made sense just not to read your posts. My admiration for you has gone way up - you tried to help a friend in need, even though you were technically outmatched. If only you could have found (still could find?) some techie help, this place might recover. For a brief time there, when I thought I was going to get shit canned from my appointment, I had a friend who was going to help me revive Cleft Crusty and offer to help with the website. If he's still interested, I might put him up to it, but he has to get through a tough stretch with his business before he can think of anything else. The shitty economy is wreaking havoc with a lot of lives, including his and mine.
I hope you don't stop looking for someone to help you with the software. I would think that if you fix some of those problems, the site will recover...

Well, right now I can't do anything but read and post. When Madtown reads this thread, I probably won't even be able to do that. I did solicit some help at one point, and was even willing to pay them, but he wouldn't give me a username and password for them to log in. Vbulletin also provides an install service which I'd have paid for also, but again, same result. So, it is what it is.
I did learn quite a bit about how to work vbulletin. But I really have no interest in learning how to install it, or configure the main template. There is probably some specific name for it, but essentially it controls the "look and feel", colors, backgrounds, etc. No clue there.
Would I do it again? Probably. But I'm not going through this middle of the night bullshit again. No reason, no communication. Nothing. It's really ridiculous if you ask me. I've got no idea what pissed him off this time, and little respect for how he's handled it. But that's just me.
Well, this certainly is the "thread of the year".
I like the "bucket brigade" spirit in this line of thought.
I pretty much knew that "Joe" was one of the old hands, but I really thought Freak or Zool was the most likely candidate. Keep PR going. We've had more than 9 lives and can weather one more storm.
It's good to see some of the old posters, even that scurrilous Blue Dog.
