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.

Fan Shout
beast (11h) : Technically, the I in FIB stands for Italian now, Si?
dfosterf (13h) : I never thought I'd live long enough to call a pope a FIB, but here we are
Martha Careful (15h) : Chicago produces a pope before it produces a 4000 yard passing quarterback
wpr (16h) : HAHAHA Mucky Comment of the day.
Mucky Tundra (16h) : According to reports, Mel Kiper is furious that Sanders wasn't selected as the new Pope
Zero2Cool (18h) : Time taken to get picked:
Zero2Cool (18h) : New Pope: 2 days | Shedeur Sanders: 3 days
Zero2Cool (18h) : Collin Whitchurch @cowhitchurch · 1h Chicago got a pope before it got a QB to throw for 4,000 yards in a season.
Mucky Tundra (19h) : New Pope from Chicago; in other words, the city produced a Pope before a 4000 yard passer
beast (7-May) : My first name starts with R and my beer belly is quite voluptuous! Thank you for noticing 😏
Zero2Cool (7-May) : beast, you're just one R from being voluptuous.
Zero2Cool (7-May) : And now some Packers blogger is like Doubs to Steelers makes sense!!!!
Zero2Cool (7-May) : You saw me Tweet???
beast (7-May) : Supposedly Steelers will be trading WR George Pickens to the Cowboys for a 3rd and late round pick swap

Zero2Cool (5-May) : If I were to "Google" it, then I wouldn't read it in your words.
Martha Careful (5-May) : Yes, in the military S2’s work on IPB, PERCEC, PHYSEC and IO
dfosterf (4-May) : FYI civilian companies swipe the S2 designation from the military. S2 is the intelligence branch up to brigade level. G2 is division level.
dfosterf (4-May) : Google it. Make sure to tack NFL on it or you will get the military meaning
Zero2Cool (4-May) : S2?
beast (4-May) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.
beast (4-May) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.
dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition
Zero2Cool (4-May) : Maybe there isn't an issue.
beast (4-May) : NFL really needs to fix their position labeling issue, but I don't think they care
Zero2Cool (1-May) : Packers did not activate the fifth-year options for linebacker Quay Walker, with the goal of signing him to a contract extension.
Zero2Cool (1-May) : Matthew Golden spoke with Randall Cobb before draft. Looked like chance encounter.
packerfanoutwest (1-May) : from a head left turn?
packerfanoutwest (1-May) : someone drunk?
Zero2Cool (1-May) : Unlikely.
dfosterf (30-Apr) : How long until Jeff Sperbeck's family sues John Elway ?
Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : Packers are exercising the fifth-year option on DT Devonte Wyatt, locking in a guaranteed $12.9M for the 2026 season.
beast (30-Apr) : Sounds like P Luke Elzinga has a rookie try out opportunity from the Titans
dfosterf (30-Apr) : Luke Elzinga Punter Oklahoma stil unsigned. Green Bay has been mentioned as good fit

beast (27-Apr) : Yeah, but also some of the wording suggestions Jax only pranked called the QB, not the others... and if he had an open spreadsheet & 3 calls
beast (27-Apr) : Thank goodness he's not leaving the Turtle in the Red Tide
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : that contained all prospects info and contact
Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : beast, according the Falcons statement Jax came across it on an ipad. If I had to guess, probably an open spread sheet or something
Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.
beast (27-Apr) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot
