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

[texaspackerbacker]

Welcome Back. It makes my day that this place is up and running again.

[pbmax]

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?

Red, Bretsky, Harv, Joe and I were crying in our beers for the last week.

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

[pbmax]

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.

Did we get embeds for Twitter video or the now defunct Vine?

[pbmax]

No Twitter mentioned. But couple more options

Supported videos include:
Hulu YouTube (Long) YouTube (Short) Vimeo Dailymotion Metacafe Google facebook Facebook Shares

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.

was not!

[rdanomly]

Thanks for the upgrade Mad. Had me worried for a while... Glad to get my main source of Packer news back.

[hoosier]

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?

[Rutnstrut]

I'm so freaking glad the site is back. It's not the same being negative about the Pack on other forums Seriously though, thanks Mad.

[swede]

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.

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.

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.

[Harlan Huckleby]

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.

[MadScientist]

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.

[pittstang5]

I was lost without this place. I tried to leave, but somehow got sucked back in.
