    Ill explain later but the site is going to go down for upgrade

    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.

    I did too. Then I wondered how I was going to fill that hole in my Packers life. THEN I wondered where everyone else would migrate to, and if we all accidentally migrated to the same place, would we even figure it out?

    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

    Red, Bretsky, Harv, Joe and I were crying in our beers for the last week.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Yeah, I checked in via Twitter. One of two accounts I follow, and the other one was for research.

    I almost joined Twitter to see what was going on.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    The problem with the "follow you" solution is that I don't see the tweets from other twits. So I experimented with following people following your packerrats account. Got deluged by hockey posts from greenbaygary, animal sex pics from joemailman, etc, etc etc. Fuck that.

    So then I sez to myself, "Myself, just suggest people put #packerrats in their posts, then we can see a chronological discussion by everybody at one link" https://twitter.com/hashtag/packerra...fault&src=hash As you see, the twitterverse alternate packerrats forum was a hit.

    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.

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

    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.
    What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

    You say that, but I've been on this site since 2009, and I still don't recognize the alter egos.

    No worries Mad - it's the offseason and the draft is over, all we're going to do is get on each other's nerves for the next two months!

    jk - I missed the place

    Can I have one of the new whistles? (I'm full up on cow bell.)
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    [Frankly I thought Harlan organized some kind of coup.]
