Hey everyone, just signed up on a friends recommendation of the board. Coming over from Reddit which I could just not stand anymore. I'm from the Kenosha area and lifelong packer fan, looking forward to actual discussion instead of nonstop memes and hot takes.

Prost to everyone. I've been a seldom poster to other Packer message boards and a quiet reader here, but I think it's time to become more active ;)

What made you become a fan: I watched the game, they mentioned the huge tradition, no single owner, BF4, Reggie and the Gilbert Burger

Favorite current Packers: All of them. It's a team and everyone has to contribute. If I had to pick a name, it's Reggie Gilbert.

Welcome pacman5252. Yet another ex PC finds their way here. Enjoy- this site can be pretty busy.

I often find myself on the other side to you of a discussion, but that isn't a bad thing. No difference of opinion = boredom....

Two pieces of advice.

You cannot post 'likes' until you have registered for a week or so. When you can, a small outline of a football will appear bottom left of a post. A sort of rookie rules thing.

In your profile, upload, then drag and drop a smallish picture over your avatar to get something other than a blank image. It doesn't have to be a round image (as I thought), if it is about the right size, it should 'take'.

Have fun.
