Bring Back Tex. I want to here about how only an incredible string of bad luck could prevent the Packers from winning the next 10 Super Bowls.
I never have had problems with you, and I ain't gonna start. Madtown has a way of playing the sympathy card with a lot of people and he likes to make sure he lets everyone know that he owns this site, and works this site, especially when the shit hits the fan. People can help out, but it will still be Mad's forum and people are gonna learn that Mad likes to take but gives very little. I am sick of Mad's little games. If he is burnt out then he should have given away the site to someone wanted to run it, wash his hands of it. I know Ziggy wanted to run it and would have gotten any help that she needed, but he instead played a silly little game making up a fake Admin, and trying to fool all of us that he sold the site. It wasn't good for anyone.
Mad had defended me in the past, especially with the Tophat situation, but was it because of my writing or protecting his property? When I posted my article I gave ownership to Mad, and I was happy to do it, but it wasn't mine. The only way I would ever help this site would be if Mad gave up part of his ownership to the people that would actually do the legwork to make this site a success.
Unbelievable. The shit stirring was started by me, looking at traffic at other sites. GLAL's site has some good things (open forums) and some bad things (no personality). It is by constantly looking around and seeing what works that improvements can be made. Not by banning presumed threats. Paranoia will destroya!

Not that it matters much, Nutz.... but MTP is the only person I've ever met on this forum - so for all I know you ppl are a bunch of crazy avatars with creative writing skills.
And for that - I know he's a good guy and way different than I'd have expected from postings and the notion of a controlling czar of a Packer forum.
Lastly - I thought the approach was fine and realize that maintaining a site like this with little/no help and no pay is not enviable especially while balancing shit that happens with life.
If I was lumped into the obeying masses and ignorant dumbasses, so be it. I just like reading about the Pack and debating stupid trival shit about the game/team I love.
After careful consideration, I have to agree with Nutz. While not solely to blame, the brunt of the fault for the current state of PackerRats has to lay at Madtown's feet. There is no leadership. There is no vision. There is no execution. Much of the life has been sucked out of this place. And if not for the efforts of the people who actually provide the content at this site, there would be nothing left of it at all.
Sorry Mad - it's true.
I really dont care what you are sick of but you are a member, a true member of this site and you can say whatever. You have no right to talk/judge/criticize about anything I have done after you violated Partial's privacy so fuck you. See, that is me saying whatever I want.
I defended you for both reasons. Of course I dont want anyone just ganking the homepage and not giving props but that also includes you. How would it not? You took your time to do it and you do it good. I have always wanted you to take on that kind of roll because you know your shit and you have a flair that not many do. Too bad you expect me to give up something that I have put significant time and money into over 5 years. You may belittle that and say I cant foot the bill but isnt the place running? Arent you able to post? The same efforts you downplay allow you to talk shit. I have never asked for any money from anyone. The only money I have ever made on the site I spent on the tailgate tickets for the first PR Posters game. I could have swore you drank a brew and ate something there but maybe it was just another dirty Whiteboy.
Fuck your "sorry mad" BS. If you werent so busy stirring shit you would have read my post where I agree with Nutz. I didnt tend to this place and it fell. You think if I had that would be the case? You talk from a high perch but I have never seen you offer to help in any way and in fact have shown disloyalty to this forum throughout the years IMO.
But if you agree with Nutz you are right. There is no leadership, no vision, no execution, only the posters that give a fuck. That is about to change. You are either with it or against it.
I think you'd make a fine poster. But you're a lousy owner. There's no shame in that. Like most people, you just don't have the skill or temperament to be effective in that role. Again, you'd make a fine and entertaining poster.
I suppose you'll take offense to this, and I suppose I would too. But it's my actual perception - no spin. The ugly truth.
Let's move forward
There is no reason to throw arrows back and forth at this point. There was a point last summer I was so frustrated with some posters and some content in here I backed away for several months from being around but I'm glad that I returned. When the football season returns more posters will return as well. In the meantime, for the posters who are sticking around, and there are plenty of good ones...........
Let's move forward
I have been the owner since the place started, and I was fine for everything except dealing with assholes like you until I got sick of it and quit. I dont want to deal with shit like that. For that you want to talk shit?
Dont talk to me like I dont know shit MFer. What skills do you have that you can offer this place since youre so fucking smart?
I just dont want to deal with personnel shit how hard is that to understand?
Let's get something straight here. You were gifted an incredible member base from the word go due to the mass migration from JSO and CE refugee camp. Zippy the Chimp could have succeeded with what you were given. But you fucked it up. We had better content in April of 2006.
Why should the members who provide the content here believe that you won't fuck it up again?
Im not gonna bother with you man. We are not gonna agree. So if you dont believe it then get on. No one is forcing you out or making you stay. This thread is about trying to fix things but by going along with you I am making them worse. If you have site suggestions or requests feel free to holler.
Frankly, I hope you figure it out. I don't have much confidence that you will. And I'm in "show me" mode. I'm not inclined to put much effort into contributing here unless things improve. I suspect many people feel that way, as evidenced by the dwindling traffic and content.
