I've been making some decent progress on the new website. I have Fan Shout and GameDay Chat done. Those were two things I did not think I could do. So those are huge hurdles. I'm at point now where I'm torn between what we currently are (discussion forum) or changing course a big into more of a microblogging platform where you can have longform and/or shortform posts.



Discussion Forums (e.g., Reddit, Stack Exchange, specialized forums)
✅ Deeper Conversations – Encourages in-depth discussions with structured replies.
✅ Organized & Searchable – Threads are categorized, making it easier to find past discussions.
✅ More Thoughtful Responses – Users take time to write detailed answers, leading to better learning.
❌ Slower Engagement – Discussions can take time to develop.
❌ Less Visibility – Smaller audience compared to microblogging.

Microblogging (e.g., Twitter, Mastodon, Bluesky)
✅ Fast-Paced Discussions – Real-time engagement and quick exchanges of ideas.
✅ Broader Reach – Easier to share thoughts with a wider audience.
✅ Networking – Great for connecting with experts and thought leaders.
❌ Surface-Level Engagement – Limited character count often leads to shallow discussions.
❌ Algorithm-Driven Noise – Meaningful conversations can get lost in trending topics and viral content.

Best for Learning?

Forums are better for deep learning, technical knowledge, and detailed discussions.
Microblogging is great for discovering new ideas, networking, and staying updated on trends.

Here's the new site in it's infant form. The Fan Shout and GameDay Chat are both real time. Meaning, you don't need to reload to get new messages. They just pop up. Overall though, the layout is intended to remain the same. The layout as in three column, etc.

I have no idea what you are asking. This format is fine, I am used to it. I don't have X or any of those apps.

The new text editor is becoming more of a pain than anticipated. I thought there was a lot of easy to use plugins. I was wrong. There's a lot of easy to BUY plugins, haha. I think we'll probably just have a scaled down editor.
Ordered Lists.
Images.
Quote, maybe.
Twitter.
Facebook.
YouTube.

    Zero2Cool (20h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!
    dfosterf (21h) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am
    wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days
    beast (18-Apr) : 6 days
    wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
    dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
    dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
    Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
    dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
