So, we've briefly touched on there being changes coming along and slowly, but surely they are coming. One of the more difficult (for me) changes is I have decided to step down completely from moderating the community. What does this mean? It means that Shawn, Wayne and Craig are going to be handling the rare suspensions and keeping things going smoothly in the forums.
And yes, that even includes me.

How am I going to earn my keep? I'll be focusing myself on adding new features, fixing broken things and also from time to time writing up little articles along with my ever fascinating Power Rankings.


With that said, please join in on welcoming the PACKERSHOME Moderator Team of Pack93z, wpr and Porforis. I know you're going make things easy for them as they donate their time to the betterment of PACKERSHOME.

Any questions, feel free to post them and we'll do our best to answer.

Wow......that IS a big change. But I totally understand why you are doing it. You have such a full plate (overflowing, actually) that hopefully this will make it a little easier.

I see this going exactly like McCarthy's attempt to give up play calling duties last season. The board will suffer a rash of injuries and Zero will eventually have to reassume control.

Ha, absolutely not! I think the further I am from moderating the community, the more healthier of a person I am. It really takes a toll on me when dealing with "this isn't fair" or "why did so an so get away with worse" and all that garbage. The forum is supposed to a fun experience in which you engage with fans and maybe even learn a thing or two in the process. It should never be about who can slam who "best" and then whine like a petulant child for being suspended for it. Gots to have fun yo!

Shawn, Wayne and Craig will handle it much more efficiently than I did and it's going to be the best thing for PACKERSHOME. Especially if I can get free time to add more goodies to the site. I have a list of things to add, I just need to git'r done.

For clarity's sake.....

Who fights the most.... generally siblings are the ones the lock horns often.

That would describe the relationship best between Kevin and I... many similar experiences and personalities... and some that are oh so different. Kind of like a little/big brother back and forth... lol.

Site was growing fast.. many things changing and disagreements forthcoming. A cycle of growth.

Anyway... I am too stubborn to quit basically anything.. lol.

Now... on the actual topic... I think the size of an undertaking of a site like this is too taxing for any one person. Especially a person that is juggling several young ladies in his life, a full time job and this "hobby". We have tried this approach before, but this time it is actually different in the fact that Kevin has allowed himself to truly entrust others. A huge step for people of your type.

And I honestly think it will be healthier for him, his family and this site to allow more people to help manage the site.

Honestly though, it is not going to be much of a change really... he has always done a excellent job running the site and with WPR and
Porforis as stewards, the site moving forward is in great hands.

Be great to each other, disagree and discuss topics, but just try and remember and respect each others viewpoints. They might not match yours and you very well might not be able to change them... but respect each other enough to allow them to hold them. That said, this is a forum and it is built on sharing and discussing that very thing... differing opinions and thoughts.

There will always be a different opinion on everything... okay, almost always. The Bears still suck. ;)
