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

[MadtownPacker]

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.

asshat

[Pugger]

I wondered what was up...

[MadtownPacker]

OK Im gonna catch some Zs so I dont screw up the upgrade. Enjoy for a bit.

[Vincenzo]

I wondered what was up...

I thought we were gone for good.

[Guiness]

I thought we were gone for good.

I laughed. I cried. It was better than Cats!

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 :sad:

[Maxie the Taxi]

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

[George Cumby]

Thanks Mad.

[wist43]

I hate bells and whistles!!!

[gbgary]

I thought we were gone for good.

me too. i even stooped so low as to register and start making bad posts on an other board.

[Smidgeon]

I thought we were gone for good.

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?

OK Shit it gonna be up and down here most of the day and I will be shutting down the board in about 10 min.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Just figured Joe was back.

[MadtownPacker]

Upgrade complete. Try shit out see if anything is not working. Please report here not PM.

[MadtownPacker]

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.

[QBME]

Whew!

I am a creature of habit. Every morning first thing I check the board, and, then...well, you get the gist.

Back to normalcy.

[Upnorth]

Thanks for keeping the old girl going with upgrades. I missed reading you guys.

[Joemailman]

I was about to check out Christian Encourager.

[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.

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.

[red]

Upgrade complete. Try shit out see if anything is not working. Please report here not PM.

[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.

[Joemailman]

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.

[Smidgeon]

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/packerrats?f=tweets&vertical=default&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.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[MadtownPacker]

Once you give up your crack you can never go back. Sorry you gonna have to talk about it to your shrink mofo!

What does propogate mean?

What does propogate mean?

When two messages boards love each other very much ...

[Zool]

When two messages boards love each other very much ...

They hire a Mexican to do their lawn. Sometimes that lawn gets full of weeds

[texaspackerbacker]

I'm not seeing any difference. What is supposed to be changed?

[Zool]

Mad built and paid for a new firewall

[pbmax]

Who is he keeping out?

General precaution or have there been intrusions?

[texaspackerbacker]

hahahaha Do I dare say it? Prophecy fulfilled - Mexican paying for the wall.

[Zool]

General precaution or have there been intrusions?

It's the only wall a Mexican will actually be paying for.

[Joemailman]

Is it my imagination, or is the font size of everything smaller since the upgrade? I have a new computer, with a wider screen, which could be part of it, but things look different.

[CaptainKickass]

Obligatory mid off-season post.

[pbmax]

It was smaller. I had to bump the text up a notch on the web browser.

[KYPack]

Glad to see PR back.

Shit, I was a little slow.

I wanted to make my own "wall" joke.

[Joemailman]

It was smaller. I had to bump the text up a notch on the web browser.

Thanks. That worked.

All this to keep Tank out?

[Smidgeon]

All this to keep Tank out?

What if it actually works?

[Joemailman]

Just glad to know Mad is still here. With DACA expiring, I was a little concerned.

[MadtownPacker]

Ha! DACA and the domain expire at same time? Can’t just be a coincidence can it?
