I'd Like To Thank Everyone Reading This

by Brandon on Sep 1, 2009 11:44 PM CDT in Green Bay Packers News

This August has been one of my greatest month's writing on Acme Packing Company. There has been a huge jump in members, comments, and FanPosts, which I love to see.

If you aren't already a member, please consider signing up for an account and joining in on the discussion. Or even creating a discussion all your own. Soliman did a great post on the running backs during the first two preseason games. Green and Bold wrote an analysis of the projected 53 man roster. And I loved the story about Brett Favre's evil twin. I appreciated all the FanPosts, and that doesn't even include all the great comments I've read.

Unfortunately there have been a couple trolls on the site this month. Obviously it's something every site on the internet has to deal with. Usually I feel the best response is no response to someone who's just looking for attention. If you feel something is completely inappropriate, please feel free to flag the post or comments, and you can email me at any time. Here's the community guidelines:

You agree to write out loud what you're thinking inside about the Packers, but remember, we're all just fans here and everyone should be treated with respect.

No, Brandon...

…thank you. You do a great job running this site.

And although APC has had significant gains in the past few months, I won’t be content until we are on par with the Daily Norseman. It’s a downright shame that Packer fans aren’t as active on this blog as Viking fans are on that one.

I found this site rather indirectly. Back in June I joined on the Cubs’ site (via Yahoo), then came over a few weeks ago. If you think the Viking’s blog is active, you should check out the Cubs site, Bleed Cubbie Blue. Game threads sometimes get stretched into 4 separate ones due to activity. Even the most mundane news regularly gets 200-300 comments within a day.

That said, I don’t mind the smaller group either. BCB definitely has its share of “personalities” that conflict with most people. It’s nice to see a smaller group of civil people, too… each has its benefits.

I'm just jealous of Al

I’ve met Al (who runs Bleed Cubbie Blue) and he’s a great guy, and he does a great job with BCB. His site was one of the original SB Nation, on Day 1 there were 5 or 6 sites, and now there’s around 220.

Totally agree on the KUDOS to Brandon

Brandon runs an awfully informative blog.

I think that this site is a nice size, though. Kinda like Green Bay itself— big enough to have regular activity but small enough to get to know some of the people. :-)

Congrats on your recent growth!

Hope to see it keep getting bigger.

Ad Green and Bold, don’t ever strive to be like Daily Norseman. With the exception of Anthony, they are junk.

Strive for WCG’s numbers… they are better than DN anyhow, and have much better content. :)

Be nice. Flag comments that you think are offensive. Use the "reply" button. Drink plenty of water. Compliment others. Rec (wreck) comments and posts you like. Don't call people names. If you don't like someone's comment, attack the comment and not the commentor. Learn the difference in your/you're, then/than, to/too. Exercise. Relax. Stretch often. Find good in the world.

Yea, all I ever seem to see when I go there

is some whiny BS about how every single media outlet is biased and hates the Vikings or a switch from hating Favre, to loving Favre, to hating Favre again, then finally to loving Favre (At least until week three when he throws a costly pick)

Thanx for keeping this site an informative and fun place to talk Packer football… I went to the norseman last year, when they started getting all pleased w/ themselves after they signed Allen. Gave my two cents worth, to get some discussion and give an alternative viewpoint. I let it be known I was a Packer fan from the beginnng. They didn’t like that I didn’t bow down and give the queens the SB based on trading for Alllen. I was BLOCKED w/in a day…

I sometimes wish you would be more aggresive about weeding out obvious trolls, but I love the way you run the site!!!

Keep up the good work!!! I have been a regular commentor for the past 2 yrs or so… Maybe one of these days I’ll take the time to write a fanpost..

I got banned there as well after the Packers Bears game

They were cheering for the Packers to help them win the division by beating Chicago, once we lost they all proceeded to rip the Packers like it was their fault, the Vikings didn’t clinch. When I pointed out that Minnesota could’ve done it themselves a day earlier by beating Atlanta, I was banned.

Thanks

I’m new to this site, and much newer to the Packers than most of you I assume, but I read it all the time and think you do an excellent job. I’ll try to comment more when the season starts.

This is great !! Far better than the old team message boards with all the name calling and foul mouth lingo and not even talking about football. GO PACK GO
