It was a bad week here

First my apologizes mofos but we got hacked. You can Google the details but forums running this version worldwide got hit. I need to get another host or get this one to upgrade something so the latest version (and patch supported) version will run. This may go down again but I'm on it guys and we will be ready for the opener.

Hallelujah! Good Job of getting back.

Thanks for all the work reclaiming the site, Mad.

Let us know what you need. I have some hosting contacts and can at least compare cost and versions of supported software.

I read at least some versions of vBulletin are end of life? Is the product line still being updated?

Sorry you/we got hit and you had to do that work. From the vBulletin support pages it looks like a mess depending on how hard core they went after they gained access.

Misery loves company, I think. Glad site is back. I get to continue sharing my miseries with y’all. Still flipping burgers miserably. Lost 2K playing PLO the other night.

Thanks for getting site back online , Mad.

I knew we had the best packer content on the web, but nobody had to hack it, they can simply type in the website and read it.

Thought this forum just up and died. Tried to get on each day, then said fuck it. Don't know why, but tried today and I see it's back. Glad it's back, but don't think I'll be on here as much as I was. I'm kinda tired of the forum being down so much it seems lately. I don't post much, usually just come on here to see the news and reactions, just to see if my reaction to stuff is the same.

We are blessed with an owner operated site that costs nothing and doesn't spam us with adds or sell our email. I think the words you were looking for were "thanks mad, appreciate the effort".

THANK FREAKIN' GOD. And thank you Mad, for getting this back up. It was a bit of a revelation to me how much I missed this place. I even might've suffered from withdrawal symptoms.

Whew. I am so, so relieved. And because I only ever communicated via private messages on this site with you all, except one of you, whose email I lost some fucking how, I had no idea how to contact any of you to see what happened and if Rats was coming back.

Damn I'm glad this place is back. Thanks again, Madtown.

[Freak Out]

I really appreciate all the years you have dedicated to this endeavor mother licker. Thanks. Other than some twitter accounts I follow and Cheesehead TV this is my Packer home. Lets get together this season and get drunk.

Thanks Mad, I actually do appreciate this site and all that you do to keep it running. I have no idea what it takes to run a website forum. It obviously must be pretty taxing if you are one man show. I guess I take it for granted. When I finally heard about the Josh Jacobs and comish exempt list, etc. the first place I tried to come to was here and I couldn't get on. It was reminiscent of the time a couple months ago where you could only get on this forum at a certain time of day. Just frustrating.

Years ago, after a Packer playoff loss, I sought out a forum. I wanted to get some answers or find others that shared in my frustration. I live outside of Philly. I have no one to discuss Packer stuff with. JS Online and this forum gave me an outlet; a place to get Packer news, a place to vent about anything Packers, a place to share in frustration after a loss, a place to share in the excitement after a victory, a place I have called home for many years.

Mad, please keep doing what you're doing and I appreciate everything you do to keep this site going.



Bobble - I do get your point and you're right. I initially thought your reply was snarky and uncalled for. Sometimes we need to be reminded of things we take for granted. Thank you for calling me out.

I reckon, life must be good for Ole Prof Fritz. Packerrats is back. College is back in full swing, which means the influx of hot, young chicks. Packers season is about to start. And the damned zebras/Big1G pulled a phantom second out of their asses for Fritz’s beloved Michigan.
