  • You're shutting down threads now that are not "productive," a preposterously officious standard. I thought the repartee pretty good there, but evidently you'd prefer something more ponderously substantial. Yet bullying and macho pissing contests here are fine. Some time ago, a poster expressed a hope that my beloved dog might die. Not a peep. Must have been a pal of yours.

    I shut the threads down because they were from months ago and weren’t relevant to the current discussion. I’d almost prefer you start a new thread, which I think would have been the better way to go.

    Other than that, that’s the only motive I’ve got. As far as that previous comment, I wasn’t aware of that and would definitely encourage you to hit “report” to alert me to it as that’s obviously not cool. :mad:

    Current posts to the thread were by definition current, however and whenever the thread began. But whatever. Why be a slave to logic after all? Start a new thread as a showcase for a moment of whimsy? Ridiculous. Carry on, however, and I'll do the same.
    Hi Ian, how do I get an patsfans app for my iphone?

    I haven't created an app just yet. That is a goal eventually but for now, I have coded it out to optimize for mobile and it should render O.K. for you on your iPhone (I have one). :)
    Thanks Ian! I was trying to be funny, oh my goodness, a bunch of negative nellies!

    It was funny, and I'm going to open it back up and use it down the road when people get out of control and move their posts into it :)
    Ian, I made a single donation to the site sometime pre-Jurassic, and another one is appropriate. But...
    1. I don't see how to do that,
    2. I also don't know what your current biz model is - maybe (hopefully) the advertising is now bringing profit?
    I'd love to see a brief report on the health and well being of the site, in terms of user growth, and economic stability. It would actually strengthen your support.

    Hey, Matt,

    I'll have to put something together as there are issues I won't get into here, but there are all new challenges I'm dealing with that everyone who owns a site is going through. It's tough, for sure. But it's a great idea and I'll see if I can put something together over the holiday weekend. :)

    the celtics area of the board is dead now. because people post on the main forum about the celtics. are you ok with that? whats the point of having a celtics area? if nobody uses it?

    Ian, just a heads up. I clicked on the yahoo.sports article about BB listed on th e top of the main page and got viruses popping up. I've scanned & cleaned my system, but just be aware that this article is carrying malware. I try to avoid Yahoo based articles because of their problems with virus/ malware. Thanks - John/old55

    I've noticed recently that not all of them seem to be going to Yahoo and they're allowing other sources in their feed. I'll look into them and will try and segregate out the non-yahoo based pieces.
    hello ian. i was hoping you might consider moving celtics or bruins threads to their areas of the board so people might use them more often? i dont want to see them removed. and the threads are harder to keep up with in the main patriots forums. just a thought. thanks for all of your efforts. go pats.

    I'll take a look at that tonight when I get home. Hard part is, since it's the playoffs, that's the main reason I left them alone. but I'll try and at least move the bruins ones over since they've been eliminated.
    You want me off the political threads for a week? I didn't realize it was an "honor" system. Seems I upset the two mods who never post on the Pats fan football threads. Of course I will abide by your wishes. Have a safe and very happy Thanksgiving and thank you again for all your hard work , Ian.
    Thanks for the shirt, it is much appreciated!

    Thanks for your support, I couldn't do this without people like you, believe me :)
    It took all my restraint to keep from replying to your new site update..
    "Ian, Making Patsfans Great Again!"

    But since things are so nice and calm here now I figured we isn't need a troublesome pot stirrer. :)

    I just now saw this profile post - sorry about that. And that was pretty funny. Have to fix a few things and hopefully that will be up next week.

    Otherwise hope things are good, and hope your weekend is going well :)
    Ian, I was wondering and hoping if you could delete my account. I don't plan on posting here or following this site anymore. I'd appreciate it.
    Hi. I notice that occasionally some threads get "taken over" by two arguers. Usually these participants are not the OP and the argument is not on topic. Is there a way to remove these guys from my view of the thread but not from other threads that they may be contributing to?
    Ian
    Ian
    There's not yet, unfortunately but that's certainly a good suggestion and I'll look into it to see if I can come up with a solution. But otherwise I appreciate your kind words, and thank you for taking a moment to reach out :)
    Hi. Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy this site. I use it daily. It's the best way for me to gather all news Patriots and participating in interesting conversations (mostly reading not posting). The feature set and overall operation of this site is the BEST of its kind. Thank you and your colleagues for your efforts!
    Hi Ian, I am not sure if you care, but in your most recent submission, you spelled Ted Olson's name two different ways. Certainly no big deal at all, I just didn't know if you cared one way or the other.

    Actually, I appreciate you pointing that out. Obviously an error on my part, so thank you for reaching out to bring it o my attention :)
    Ian,
    For the past several days, after I log onto the the PatsFans website, I receive malware on my PC which inhibits my use of the Google search engine. I can clean up the malware with several software packages that I have installed, but it is an annoyance. Yesterday, I did not log onto PatsFans and had no problem. When I use Chrome, the problem with my search engine does not appear.

    Yours,

    Norm

    Hey Norm, that's bizarre. Do you have any info as far as what warnings you're getting, etc.? I haven't received any other messages yet but obviously I want to make sure there aren't any issues.

    When I last ran one of my malware programs to clean my PC, several of the malware items were named adPower.net, adhigh.net, and ad.360yield.com. They seem to create cookies and track the sites I visit.
    I am trying to attach a video that I taped from nfl mobile that is a commercial they are showing all day long blatantly trolling Brady about deflategate. I do not know how to attach the video - I can also email it to you. Please help
    hey boss....thought you'd like to know. I had to download YesScript to disable a script running on the site. I think it's associated with the drop down box when you cursor over "alerts" up top. This problem has persisted all last month until I finally had to do something about it. Perhaps you'd like to look into it. If not, no worries.The board is trouble free for me now. I'm on a home PC BTW, with jacked up memory.

    I am using Firefox...I use nothing else. I have Chrome enabled and IE also but since I enabled YesScript in Firefox, I have had ZERO glitches. Everything is up to the day up to date Ian.

    I'm an ex-MSCE so I'm not really a newb to this stuff. I noticed this glitch back at the end of August/early September when you made a few additions. Like I said, I believe it's the drop down box up top named "alerts". It doesn't drop down now but I'm not freezing screens either.
    Ian
    Ian
    I know you're not a noob ;) But the Alert thing isn't mine, that's a Xenforo thing so I'll have to test it on FireFox and see if I can duplicate the problem and see if there's a fix for it. Appreciate you pointing it out and hope things are well :)
