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 (11h) : I'm not beating anyone. I stinks.

Mucky Tundra (11h) : rough injury for tank dell. guy can't catch abreak

beast (13h) : So far the college playoffs have sucked... One team absolutely dominates the other

beast (15h) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (16h) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (16h) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (16h) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (21-Dec) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating

Zero2Cool (20-Dec) : There is a rule that if your name starts with 'b' you lose 15 points. Hey, I don't make the rules, I just enforce them!

wpr (20-Dec) : and then there is Beast. Running away with it all.

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

Martha Careful (18-Dec) : if I were a professional athlete, I would probably look to see who the agent is for Kirk Cousins and then use him

beast (18-Dec) : $100 million fully guaranteed Kirk Cousins gets benched for rookie

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with

packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : What the hell

packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?

beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : WR Odell Beckham Jr is officially a free agent after clearing waivers.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Packers are 6th in sacks.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : RB David Montgomery will undergo season-ending knee surgery.

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Dan Campbell on onside kick with 12 minutes left: In hindsight, wish I didn’t do that

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : They have that whole 12th man thing so ...

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Of the times we've played there, I just can't recall hearing our fans.

wpr (16-Dec) : Well done jdlax. Well done.

wpr (16-Dec) : I think more likely to be Pack fans that live in the area.

wpr (16-Dec) : Pack fans represent. I pointed it out early in the game to my wife. Announcers said Packers travel well.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : That was crazy to hear go pack go in Seattle of all plays. That 12 man thing an all

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : jdlax, good man!

jdlax (16-Dec) : Mucky, there were too many of us there to credit any single one but for sure i was 60% responsible.
