UNF closed the packer forum..Idk why..Someone else may have the scoop on that..This place is better though IMHO anyways (even though that was great and it was very nice of UNF to give us the opportunity to post there, I really didnt like how it turned the words "a hole" into "ding dong"..and other things like that)..

imscott,

This forum was started because Harlan wanted a place separate from C-E that we all could come to if shit hit the fan over there. The Mad Mexican took the burrito and ran with it. He pushed to roll this puppy out (and he was fittin' to roll his own too). Mad Mex talked blue balled dog into going for it. Blue balled dog was nice and kept upnorth abreast. A referendum was to be voted on today by C-E members (see other threads). It was going to be a democracy. Do we all move here or do we stay at C-E? Upnorth either caught wind of this and it hurt his feelings or somebody told him everybody was badmouthing him here (nobody was). Anyways, some back and forth happened, and then upnorth blew up and milktoasted the Packer forum on C-E.

BTW, here's what I posted in the "for newbies" thread:

I think people should understand where madtown, harlan, and others are going with this. The goal is to create a site that is better than any other site. Hopefully, we can some good features from other sites (e.g. good content like PackerChatters has), but with a better interface than most and with a happy medium between little or no moderating, but the ability to delete harmful posts. Eventually, this site will likely be more marketable than C-E. No offense to upnorth because he did us a wonderful service. I didn't mind the Christian theme over there, but I understand that others might. Another goal is to get a lot of good posters, but that will take time. People need to be patient.

I just started posting here, and it takes awhile to warm up to yet another forum, but hopefully this is the final destination eventually.

Feel free gentlemen (used too freely when talking about blue dog and the mad mexican, I know) to explain the purpose of this site to any newbies. Sorry if a thread like this has been posted before

[imscott72]

Hmm ok. Well I'm not sure what happened, but I would hope none of us were actually badmouthing Dave when it was nice of him to open his site up to us. What's done is done. I guess we have another new home now again and we'll have to make the best of it. It still sucks that we lost the whole Dragon's thread tho. :evil:

[BF4MVP]

How do you think I felt when people stopped posting on the JSO AP thread? almost 11,000 replies, I do believe, dead and buried under several pages of crap...

[MadtownPacker]

Thats a damn good post. :razz:

Good to see you BF4. Wouldn't be the same without ya. :D

[Guiness]

Interesting HW. I also quite appreciate what UNF did for us, and hope he isn't offended/upset. If he wanted us off the site (I'm sure we were causing him some heat), it would've been nice if he'd told us nicely though, instead of just shutting 'er down.

I started one here a couple weeks ago..Haven't checked it out lately but somehow I get the feeling it hasn't quite caught on like the other one did..

[Bretsky]

I watched steamy lesbians on a show last night called "Best Sex Ever" on Skinemax. SURE WISH I could splice all those movie channels into the Holy Grail.

[BF4MVP]

Dang I wish I coulda seen that show..

Bein the resident "Virgin Rat" I could use all the girl-on-girl porn I can get

swerved by JSO for a second on my way here. Doesn't take too long to figure out why I don't miss the place. Tank is wining about getting in here.

Who is Bat Pack anyways? What was his former user name?

Bat Pack is St Louis PackerBacker..

When I mentioned posting here, he said "Great idea!! Why don't you post there and delete your account here!!"..Pretty much a smartass comment..I was surprised, cuz St Lou was one of my favorite posters when I posted regularly on JS..

I'm pretty sure Bat Pack is St. Lou. He's badmouthing us over there....calling us elitist and saying we did UNF wrong. He knows nothing about the situation at all!

Guiness,

I was VERY apprehensive about this place. I really didn't want to migrate here. I think Bretsky was in the same mindset. I liked C-E, and especially the interface of the site. Mentally, it wasn't until this morning that I decided to "move" here. Then, I come back tonight and shit hit the fan. I think Harlan and Mad can vouch for the fact that I've stuck up for C-E since this place has been up--probably to the consternation of those guys.

I think tonight just proves we needed to do this. The goal: make this the best Packer site in history.

[Bretsky]

I was undoubtedly going to give a no vote on the referendum; I'd expressed my views more privately to a few and via pm, but here it was.

I felt greatful to UN for creating the site at CE for us. I had to problem being a sub site to CE. And no matter how well we expressed it, I knew if we planned on competing with CE than it would create bad karma and feelings toward a person who helped us out. I was loyal to CE.

I came in here under the presumption that it was an alternative spot for CE posters to come and the main focus was the keep the whole bunch together. I know that was the purpose, but as I wqas reading more I could also tell that many of the individuals wanted to make this a football forum. I took a lower profile and didn't actively recruit members in here....because I didn't support making this into a football forum and hoped CE would continue to do well.

That being said, as all there is to do is move forward. There is no reason to go back to JS. This site is very well set up, and we can certainly make it into a great Packer forum. Get er done.

His confirmation email hasnt came through. Wasnt sure it was the real him. Tell him to try again. Gonna activate him.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Tell him to get over here. I miss his dumb ass calling me a redneck.

[Guiness]

So it's likely St-Lou. Ya, he was always pretty contrary.

He is definitely badmouthing us - elitist, stale, etc. A real burr in his saddle.

I guess a lot of people still at JSO really don't get why those of us who moved did. For me, it wasn't elitism, or anything like that at all. There were other reasons, but myself I think biggest one was Quality of Service. I'm a busy guy, and when I want to make a post or two, I don't want to have to worry about whether or not the site it going to be up. Couple that with a very slow server, a search function that barely works, and the inability to preview your posts, and it is just a shitty all around deal.

The only reason I continued to return is that the best posters were there!

[HarveyWallbangers]

Guiness,

Bingo! PackerChatters isn't a bad site, but it's overly moderated (everybody is too nicey-nicey), and I don't like their interface. JSO had the best posters at one time, but you've stated reasons for not staying there.

[Guiness]

So why is St-Lou so damn pissed off? I mean, someone musta taken a leak in those cornflakes. (I have my suspicions, MTP!)

Also interesting is how 'handicapped' they've made JSO, due to the hacks, I assume.

You can no longer create new accounts, and the retrieve lost passwords function has been disabled. And ppl there say WE are backing down...

Now dont everyone jump me about this. There isnt a swear word I havent heard or used and I would never stop going to a site because of language, but, is the fact that you can say fuck or ass or pussy or any other word really the best way to prove this is the best Packer site in history? I am against censorship and dont care what language you use, but sometimes adults are able to communicate without cussing.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Well, the CE site didn't allow you to say a hole (e.g. Ahman found a hole to run through). It changed it to ding dong. There were others. Not to dog him, I actually liked the site a lot. I think the fact it was a Christian forum, even though I am a Christian and had no problem with it, turned off some people.

I think the point is: hopefully, this site will have little moderation (unlike PackerChatters.com), but more security (unlike JSO). Hopefully, we can add good content and a good poster base, and make this baby hum.

[jack's smirking revenge]

I know I was a big proponent of evolving this thing, probably to the consternation of many here. I will apologize for that--I got a vision of what this place could be with the amazing football posters that we have and couldn't get the idea out of my head.

Just to clear the air, it wasn't because I disliked UNF or C-E. I wrote a really long PM to UNF asking him to reconsider his position. I honestly didn't have a problem with the religious side of it and did check out the other forums from time to time. My angle was that those of us that put football first and religion second needed a place to call home. This whole scenario has turned out to be a big mess, but out of this messy chaos can come brilliant order. If we turn all of our football minds to, as Harvey eloquently put it, turning this into the best possible Packer site possible, then I think we will have shot a big F.U. to JSO and will have achieved the best possible outcome.

Now, I just need you creative Packer people to ante up. This is OUR site and this will only become what we make it. Thus, get over to the Site Development forum and start posting what you're interested in doing--writing, reports on GB or the Pack, Packer photos, blogging, fantasy player prognostication, web design, whatever. If we are to get this place live by the draft and start attracting new blood, then we're going to have to be aggressive.
