Security risk warning from JSonline

[Badgepack]

Just want to say that this flan guy is an idiot.

Also I checked out Packerforum and think the format is way to busy and appreciate the way this site is layed out.

Thanks to all involved with Packerrats.com

I admit that before this was up, I registered on another site before everyone gathered at CE to regroup. I don't post there at all, but it has some F&Bs that we collectively should assess....

I give up. What's F&Bs?

Franks and beans?

[Jimx29]

OK, I admit it
I did it all





No wait....maybe it wasn't me

[Bretsky]

Flan is and always has been an idiot over at JS well before his latest ludicrous post. Anybody that gives that guy any credibility in the world needs some serious brain surgery.

[Bretsky]

GBMichele or anyone else...

That had nothing to do with me or my site. I came across this site today on JSO and the member that did the "sweep" is no one I recognize from my member list.

Good Eve Packerforum.com

I was a long time member with over 5G posts in JS; I just lurk there now since mutiple hacker attacks occured and little support form JS followed.

I will let you know that Flan is one of the poorer long time posters at JS who very few pay any attention to. And many in here lurk in JS and know of Flan and his character.

IN reading over there it certainly looks suspicious that a long time negativist who holds little credibility in that forum would praise another site like yours.

But since I'm an optomist and glass half full guy, I believe you that you are not him or have no affiliation with him.

But he's the last organism in the world you want supporting your work if you want a good following.


Cheers,
Bretsky

Another thought; I know the leaders of this site have always been supportive of posters registering and contributing while running another website and looking for new members to join it .

Is your take the same so if myslef or somebody wanted to register under packerats.com or another name and promote this site it would be OK as well ?

Bretsky,

I appreciate the info on this Flan user from JSO. If I would have known this was the case I would have simply ignored his/her post and went along with my business. I never frequented the JSO forums (as anyone can see from my post count and join date - if that's even displayed there) so that could have been my bad in thanking him so quickly. Perhaps this Flan person is bitter about something between the founders of this site and the stuff that went down there (or from what I have read here and on the JSO site about the split) at any rate, I don't know much about that so I can only speculate.

Like I said, this Flan user is not me, trust me (yeah funny thing to say on the net, I know). Heck the first post I made on this site (which was deleted along with another thread I made about our site GM Challenge) was stating how I liked the theme and apparent work that went into this place. I have nothing bad to say about this site, looks great!

If a user would register under "packerrats.com" or the like, and contributed to packerforum.com in a positive way, I would have no problem with that.

Heck for that matter, I would be willing to change my username on here (if that's allowed) it doesn't mean that much to me!

Appreciate the responses Ryan; I lurked a bit on your forum today and you have some nice topics and some of the posters are very knowledgable. It's a nice set up as well

Ryan,

When somebody new joins the site, the first impression you get of them is their user name. And so when I saw your user name, I jumped to negative conclusion, "this is an aggressive guy here just to promote his website." Probably if I knew you for a while, and had a favorable impression, I wouldn't care if you started promoting PackerForum.com.

Anyway, I accept your explanation about the Flim-Flan man, and you seem OK to me, and I don't care if you promote PackerForum.com here. I think PackerRats is in a nice groove and won't have problems keeping its membership up. But that's just one opinion. Madtown is the Godfather, I'm just a hit man.

Thanks Harlan, if you have the power to, or if I need to speak to Madtown that's cool too, I will be more than happy to change my username - "Ryan" would be perfectly fine with me.

I certainly don't want to make anyone mad, I'm not out to do that! I know the drama that comes a long with running a site like this so the last thing I want to do it be "that a-hole" that causes it!

[Scott Campbell]

It might be a nice gesture to recipricate by plugging this site over there. For most visitors it's not an "either or" decision.

[Bretsky]

Ryan has a nice site over there; way better than what JS has turned into.

It might be prudent to change his name from packerforum.com though and he said he'd be fine with that.

Thinking along the same lines he any any site would look at, IMO we'd welcome contributions to this forum but would not want anybody in here to just promote another site, good or bad.

If he decides to hang out in here and we treat him well, he will say good things about this site and that can only benefit this site as well as his since I'm sure there are a few who read and post at both.

Just my two cents worth.

Hey Partial, you are a stud.

Way to find that fake screen print that idiot Flan used to show are at risk we are.
I was also looking for that on Google when I saw your post.

Great work.

[Partial]

Thanks, he just went ahead and changed his pic to something different. I didn't look at it closely but he at the very least changed the file extensions. He probably just took a different pic, but who knows.
