So what happened to the new forum???????

[Patler]

I thought everything was to transfer to the new software weeks ago?

Have some of us not been invited?? :lol:

I know this is not Packer material, but the Packers forum occasionally has visitors, so I posted this here.

Is it time to say "R.I.P. PackerRats"? :(

[CaptainKickass]

Been sort of wondering that myself, but in retrospect I don't really care if it stays the way it is or it gets some sort of update.

It's really always been the people that make it work.

:D

Ditto.

IMO The new forum isn't better, it's just different...We could have the same discussions here as we could have there..Won't make any difference.

Although apparently there's an ignore list (right?) which will be nice..

[Brandon494]

I like this forum more than the new one, maybe just because I'm use to this one.

[twoseven]

would someone be kind of enough to fill me in..new forum?

[mission]

I'm with Brandon... I didn't really see anything as more than a lateral move. No offense to anyone's efforts of course.

Would not call is a new forum so to speak
A new look with some updated software and features I think would be accurate.

I'm assuming kinks are just causing the delay

[twoseven]

somewhere else on the internet or here, what am i not understanding?

Same Rat time, same Rat channel. Just new software, was the idea and demo we last saw. Like Batman upgrading his utility belt to make room for Shark Repellent.

[Patler]

I really don't care if it stays here, but we were asked to try and then comment on the new one. We were asked to start threads on it, use its functions, make comments and suggestions. We did that. Then we were told the conversion would happen the next weekend, and this was 6 weeks ago or more, wasn't it?

Now, very few members show up, even for off season. There's no homepage, old members are disappearing and there have been few if any new ones.

It makes me :cry:

This was once the best.

If you click on the "Home" link above, you will land on the shell of the test forum. The url to the PackerRats forum will remain the same, the software will change to vBulletin and the whole forum will be retained.

I am just a lurker now but I echo Patler's comments. I still come here daily to read, and there is not much to read anymore.

Then you both should post more. :)

Right now, between Lurker, Joemailman and Brandon, they are drafting for 8 teams each in Round 3 of the Packer Rats Mock Draft. They could use a hand studying film.

[Joemailman]

Who studies film? I just drink beer and ask myself, "What would Al do?"

[Harlan Huckleby]

I think the new forum should be an alternate universe where you try to be the opposite of who you are here. I think that would be some serious fun. If you think its a stupid idea, don't worry, over at the other forum you can think it's great. Just think of the peace & love that will flow from people trying to see things from the viewpoint of their enemies.

[Joemailman]

Scott Campbell as 007 and vice versa. Brilliant!

[Tony Oday]

not a lot goes on in the offseason...wait until the season starts!

That is a great idea. You always seem to be able to hit the nail right on the head. The only thing I would do to improve on your idea would be to form a committee and fine those who don't play along.

I know I've been trying to post articles on the Packers draft to keep the offseason interesting. I agree with pbmax, you guys should post most. Nothing wrong with more insight on the Pack. :)

Thanks a lot... much too early on a Sunday morning for that kind of nonsense - now my head hurts :x

Well obviously he didn't change it this morning. And if you wouldn't be drinking so much on Saturday night, you wouldn't have this problem.

[Harlan Huckleby]

The only thing I would do to improve on your idea would be to form a committee and fine those who don't play along. See, you're getting the idea. Except this comment belongs in the alternate universe forum.

I would enjoy being in a space where patler posts porn, and zool hugs people and asks how their day is going. I could post an indepth analyse of the college draft. Bretsky would be a rapper. Ziggy would have sex with men. It would be cool!

An alternate universe idea is great. I should have posted such a post earlier.

But if Patler posts porn, what the heck will Skinbasket do?

become intelligent?

[Brandon494]

Since we are on the topic of posting porn, whats up with the The Garbage Can forum? Exactly how do you gain access into it?

send a pm to admin joe, saying you want in. only he can grant you access

[Brandon494]

I did like a month ago, still no response. Guess I'll try again.

[Harlan Huckleby]

frankly, the admin has been drinking again. he'll get back to you after the latest binge, he always does.

But Patler's porn would be reasonable porn.

[jmbarnes101]

I have no idea what I am on this forum, what would that make me on the other one? Less confused???

BTW, I'm offended that I wasn't mentioned as being the fourth member who's drafting for 8 teams in round 3. How rude!!! :lol:

[TennesseePackerBacker]

I'd be Partial.

[SkinBasket]

I'd be Partial.

We'd all be Partial. And we'd all have his boobs as our avatars. As for whoever said wait til the start of the season... that was the original ETA of the new software, the start of last season.

[Kiwon]

Has Joe given any update on what exactly is going on?

Reasonable porn... Like celebrity nipple slips, or what? Missionary position only, heterosexual married people with the bed sheets strategically covering their naughty parts?

[Guiness]

No, it would just be well explained and labeled

[Harlan Huckleby]

Patler is probably a freak in the bedroom. It's always the ones you don't suspect that have the penguin suits.

Hardcore Patler Porn??

Prom night.

[Joemailman]

I've seen some threads take some strange turns in my time here, but this one might top them all.

[Administrator]

I agree Joemailman. I saw this thread several days ago, and thought I'd see what happened to it before I weighed in.

Here's the deal. Life changes got in the way. I recently accepted a new position with the company that I work for. It involved a relocation out of Wisconsin.

We have been traveling quite a bit, and still have a bunch of stuff to do to settle down. Takes priority over the new forum, I'm afraid.

there aren't any technical problems per se. However, I do want to customize the colors and the layout of the vbulletin software and that takes time, and I am doing that myself. I do some stuff here and there, and am getting close. Was hoping for the draft, but I just want this right when I put it up. Offseason is always slow anyhow.

So, that's what is going on, if anyone cares.
