Hey guys
I'm the one who was setting up the new forum with Hurl.
I am one of the longer running members on the old forum, but I'm staying behind the scenes for now as I want the forum
to be as inviting and neutral as possible. I don't want some people to be, "Oh you're one of the fan boys." or "You're one of
the Darrells, you'll delete anything you don't agree with." or "You're a troll." That's why I'm not going to be in charge of
banning or deleting anything, I don't want anyone to think there is any favoritism or biased decisions.
One of our concerns with starting this, was we were going to put the time and money in to set this up, people would come,
then it would tail off, and members would trickle back to the old forum. So I really hope we can make this stick as a long
term solution. That's why I need the verterans and regulars to stay. Not to mention all the trolls saying "You'll come crawling
back." We need guys like Ang who post the latest news to continue to post the latest news, so discussions begin on the
new board.
I will be adding 2-3 more moderators, I just need to make sure they don't get ban happy or delete happy. I want it to be a
fairly open board where opinions can be shared, no matter how stupid it may be.
All post counts from the old board will carry over. I think this would be a good idea. At the same time I wouldn't mind
starting everyone fresh from zero, as everyone starts on the same page

Pretty simpile name, which was chosen to rank in Google for that exact term, "Blue Jays Message Board". Once ranked, we
will get steady new traffic and members joinging, which I think is important to make a great board.
Also, I'm going to raffle off a couple Jays tickets at the end of May for anyone who is a regular poster at the end of the
month. If you can't make the game, or don't want to (lol), I will find something equivalent.
See you over there. First five members get to be a Darrell!
