Wrong Thread

FYI one of the images you posted was blocked by a proxy server. The reason Zool moved it is because we don't want to cause problems for those posting from their job.

That happens in the football threads with some images too.

Serious question: Is there a guide on that? I sometimes get the little blue box with on screen instead of the pic and assume the pic is being blocked. Also, my workplace blocks various sites, sometimes it seems obvious why, and other times, not (no, I'm not looking at porn). I can see if some of the pics show up on threads people are viewing at work, it could be a problem for people. I'll try to keep that in mind, but when images or links are blocked, do ITs get notified? I don't want anyone to get in trouble for pics I post. I don't care for me, because I use a guest login and, like I say, the workplace has a filter so it's not an issue.

I like the idea of the RR being public without a logon. Put it to a vote in the Packers area.

Romper Room has good information and just might be the ticket to give non members the courage to want to join Packerrats and post throughout the forum.

Posting in Romper Room isn't as intimidating as it may be for many that shy away from the football section.

wha? You want me to set up a poll to decide this? Make an executive decision for crissakes.

Can this thread go back to the packer forum now?

This has to be wist's pet:

#1 packer fan, and a person who needs to be introduced to packerrats, or as i refer to it, packerlemmings

[mraynrand]

let me know when the shirt change takes place.

[mraynrand]

Gee, this thread went to the RR and just took off, didn't it?

Fixing polls makes it seem more legitimate. Because everyone still cares. And they all post from work or have their 6 year old sit on their lap while browsing the internet.

well if it wasn't for polls, rand and all politics would be gone from this site

thats probably what would have happened if mad had made an executive decision instead of allowing a poll to play out

that would be fine with me, but then it would be a site like any other Packer site. Most of them have no personality at all. If you like just Packer football discussion, that's great. I was looking for something else. But, in effect that's pretty much gone anyway.

What part of it is left? I do appreciate the couple of people left in the packer section who know what they're talking about, but outside of that there ain't dick that makes this site any different than the other couple hundred dozen that failed due to the same reasons you point out. The Tory Humphry "interview" was the tipping point. Someone with an enormous head and absolutely terrible, horrible judgement thought mainstreaming the site by chopping off all the legs that had built it into what it was could catapult it into some kind of "legitimate" website. Instead, it tipped over and died. But it was the legs' fault somehow.

But every good thing must end. It was just too bad that this place was murdered as a result of egomaniacal behavior instead of dying naturally from lack of interest.

[SkinBasket]

well if it wasn't for pussies complaining about every fucking little thing, polls would be gone from this site and it wouldn't have been reduced to the equivalent of a boring suck-ass semi-private AOL chat room years ago.

thats probably what would have happened if mad had made an executive decision instead of allowing people like you to destroy what made this place popular and interesting in the first place.

But that ship sailed years ago. And amazingly enough some of the same people who fucked this place up in the first place are still complaining over the corpse.

Get a haircut and some jeans made for men and stop acting like other people talking about stuff you allegedly aren't interested in somehow makes your life more difficult.

what did I miss? I vaguely recall that. Was it totally fake?

Now that you mention it, it might have been given what happened afterward, but me thinks someone thought that "interview" meant this site was a legitimate packers news site and as such, was no place for lesbians, humor, politics, off color jokes, pictures of other member's breasts, religion, bad words, mom jokes, allusions, hyperbole, dissension, or anything else a six year old might find offensive, confusing, or sexually arousing. The result, predictably (to some of us anyway), was the exodus of the interesting conversations that used to have people logged onto the site all day involved in several different conversations, usually due to a certain someone banning anyone with anything to say, usually after he threatened to beat them up and insulted their internet manhood, the irony of which apparently never realized.

Not that it matters anymore, but it is poignant to bask in the nostalgia of the good ol' days occasionally, no matter how long ago it was, especially when some asshole who cheered the very path that led us here demands we kick the corpse some more.

Youre truly in pain huh? It also pains me to see it so. I believe I only threatened you, nuts, and Harlan with violence. Nuts is the only one who is a legit threat though. Since I actually met you I know the sad little man you really are. Tell me what can I do to help? Eat the barrel of shotgun? Work on your yard? I'm here for you.

This is my totally unsurprised face. Why make this about me? I'm not the one who killed the site. I'm not the one who made those decisions, and certainly never agreed with them. You were wrong. Not much to do about it now other than make like an internet tough guy, I guess.

You can kill yourself if you'd like. I'm ambivalent. We were having a conversation here.

yes yes, we here all the time about how you hate this site, and how its dead, and how the others are all better

he hardly contributes at all anymore. Same as about 20 or 30 other people who have left or been banned - or died.
