I can edit the registration rules fairly easily, but once they proceed with registering, are they going to remember the link or click open the link to a new tab and come to it when registered? I don't think so. So that was my idea and then I had another idea like we used to have on the old CMS ... when a member is registered, they receive a Private Message. I've asked the developers about this ... no word back. I think the PM was great to get things going for new members. Have a little blurb in there like hey go to this thread to tell us where you found the site, go here to tell us about you and if you'd like to a do a member interview, this link.

Better wording would be required of course, but you get the idea. I'm hoping the welcome PM could be implemented fairly easily. I could probably create an app to trigger that, but I'd rather it built into the software than me having to make an app for that lol.

It's changing the stored procedures and the tables that become worriesome to me.

It is an excellent idea.

Addition to that, I wanted members to be able to select their favorite team and have it displayed in a little icon next to the AIM, Yahoo, WWW links. Team as in NFL, NCAA, NBA, etc .. just have a slew of graphics.

Strictly for Guest users only, but I found out I can't actually disclose what I do with the money for the ads publicly. Reason being, it could entice people to click the ads. I have it running at beta.packershome.com right now. I think it blends in with the theme okay.

I just dunno. I mainly wanna run it for a month or so, just to see a ballpark figure. It would be nice to have us on a better host. I just don't know. I hate ads. I hate the idea having them. I really need some creativity on how to make this work.

I won't be pocketing the money, that's certain. I don't need it, nor want it. I do want to shell some of it to AdWords and then the rest to a charity.

I wonder if it would break the rules if I were to monthly or quarterly inquire of a charity to donate money to on behalf of PackersHome.com?

just went to beta as a guest. the ad is fine. clicked the link. I don't see a problem with it.

as far as a Q donation- there is no law anywhere that says you can't ask people which charity you should donate to. They can not tell you how to spend your money for the rest of your life.

Because then that will entice people to click the ads to benefit a charity.

I think what I'll do is just inquire of charities to donate to, take three, have a poll for 3 days, then send the money. I think those who hate ads (like myself) would think "okay so there is an ad, but this dipshit is sending money to charity every month ... it's a wash".

March 2013 = $11.85 20 clicks 5,912 views
April 2013 = $3.71 18 Clicks 10,120 views

It's only visible to Guests, but I don't see this as really being worth it. Although, the hosting package is about $11 a month so I guess the site is "paying for itself" in that regard. A co-worker (same one that kept on me hour by hour at work all day long for weeks to put up ads) keeps hounding me to put it on for logged in members too. I won't be doing that, it's just not worth it in my opinion.

I haven't heard any complaints, although, I was hoping to. Because then I'd respond with "if you register and sign in, you won't see them 🙂 "

:-)

The only reason I haven't removed them now, is because I hope it entices folks to register and sign in. And if you're signed in, there's a better chance of you posting a reply.

My opinion on the topic. I think the sponsor space has it uses and if it covers at least the cost of the hosting of the site great. I would not even be opposed to having sponsor in the margins while signed in.

The norm fromm surfing the net is to deal with the ads.. as long as they are not pop up or expand out or something delaying of that action, they really are not that intrusive.

Zero2Cool (7h) : QB coach Sean Mannion

Zero2Cool (7h) : DL Coach DeMarcus Covington

dfosterf (10h) : from ft Belvoir, Quantico and points south. Somber reminder of this tragedy at Reagan Nat Airport

dfosterf (10h) : So eerily quiet here in Alexandria. I live in the flight path of commercial craft coming from the south and west, plus the military craft

dfosterf (10h) : So eeri

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?

beast (14h) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.

beast (14h) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.

Mucky Tundra (14h) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired

beast (17h) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Packers coach Matt LaFleur hires Luke Getsy as senior assistant, extends Rich Bisaccia's deal

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Chiefs again huh? I guess another Super Bowl I'll be finding something else to do.

Mucky Tundra (27-Jan) : Chiefs Eagles...again...sigh

dfosterf (27-Jan) : Happy Birthday Dave!

Mucky Tundra (27-Jan) : happy birthday dhazer

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Exactly buck...Washington came up with the ball. It is just a shitty coincidence one week later

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : I forgot, they corrected the call a week later. Lol btw HAPPY BIRTHDAY dhazer!

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : That brings up the question, why wasn't Nixon down by contact? I think that was the point Kanata was making.

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : Turnovers rule, win the turnover battle, win the game.

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : well, he was

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Eagles down by contact on the fumble....fuck you NFL

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : I think this games over

beast (26-Jan) : Eagles sure get a lot of fumbles on kickoffs

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : This game looks too big for Washington

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : that being said, The Ravens are the Browns

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : Browns, Dolphins have longest AFC Championship droughts

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : As of today, Cowboys have longest NFC Championship drought,

beast (26-Jan) : Someone pointed out, with Raiders hiring Carroll, the division games between Carroll and Jim Harbaugh are back on (who can whine more games)

beast (26-Jan) : I'm confused, Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer? When Todd Monken, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Kliff Kingsbury and Zac Robinson are availab

Zero2Cool (25-Jan) : Any reason I'm catching a shot here about my intelligence?

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (24-Jan) : Rude!

beast (24-Jan) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.
