Alot of familiar names from the past coming over. This is going to be a great season here at the horn. I'm feeling it. Hoping the game chat rocks. Welcome all new friends and old.

Thanks. Glad to be here. PT had become stale and while most have jumped ship several years ago to the LongShip, here, and other places, I was reluctant to move as PT (247) was home for many many years. I just want to be in a place where I can get updates and have great discussions on the Vikings and all things Minnesota sports. It's sad to have all the long-time posters and solid newbies spread out, but I guess the only constant in life is change and we just have to jump on board. I do like this platform better than LongShip and find it similar to the style of PT. Thanks for the warm welcome and I look forward to many more years enjoying our passions together.

Feel free to start a thread in a topic you don’t see covered. And I too like this format especially on iphone. Easy to post tweets too. PT had a great run and those earlier years were fun. Had a great mixture of posters including Cheesefree, Nibe, Sassy and Ametrine. Sassy posts here but is having a rough year so not as much lately. Nibe posted a year ago. Many other longtime PT posters here. I recall Dr Zuess posting actual play diagrams and it was awesome. Glad to see you here and jump right in.

This is the most user friendly format I've ever used. Posting YouTube video's, pics and a nice emoji tray. It's got alot going on. Play around. I do understand your feeling of loss over PT. I was there for 10 years. It's always worse I guess when the choice gets made for you. Anyhoo... welcome aboard. SKOL

If you want a new topic go ahead and make one. Also if you like live gameday chat this has that feature which is a blast. How long were you on PT? I had over 40,000 posts there. But 247 hasn’t sent me any prizes yet lol.

Appreciate the welcome, SKOL! Nibe promised me cookies when I started at PT lol, never got em. I recall his Nibecaps where he posted a trivia question every night. I made a point of logging on to make sure I was able to get in on it. He had some tough ones too.

Came from the StarTribune site in ‘96, some 23 years ago - then to Viking Underground, then Purple Thoughts, now here. Proudhorn banned several of us in for daring to talking about Peterson in a good light. He went after us basically and banned us from 247 in April and unfortunately went far beyond Purple Thought moderator duties to make it far too personal, guess he was there too long - oh well, life goes on - we had great times, shared great stories and met some amazing people along the way. It will be nice to continue to be part of a community again that we cherished and appreciated so much - skol brethren and may this be our year!

Appreciate the welcome, SKOL! I kinda did the same over there. I started lurking at PT around 1998. I didn't sign up till 2007. Just not much to say before then maybe.?. I signed up here July 2017 and only posted there a few times a season since. In 10 years there I accumulated 3000 PT posts. In 2 here I'm closing in on 4,800. The older I get the less I shut up...lol. I'm looking forward to this community growing. This is going to be great.
