First, thanks to Terminator for the fantastic name suggestion. The moment I saw it, I liked it and so did the people who voted in the poll.

 

Normally, I would have something like this planned out weeks in advance. Due to the holidays and weird circumstances in which this happened, I'm flying by the seat of my pants on this one. So I just gave our senior developer carte blanche to launch when he had the time. Even I'm not 100% sure when that is yet. It's probably Sunday, January 5th but could happen earlier than that.

 

A lot will change when it comes to the software. The forums will look different but operate in a much more modern fashion (automatic tweet/video embeds, more reactions, user tagging, etc). On top of that there will be front page articles (which will roll out slowly as we start) and every user will be able to create their own user blog. A few weeks later videos will come and other stuff like that.

 

One thing that will be a big change is that you will need to use an email address to log in, not your username. This is a basic security protection, as email addresses are obscured and usernames are not.

 

So things might get messy as some of you have forgotten your usernames and/or passwords. If you have any difficulty logging in, I will be checking my email regularly so you can reach me any time at

 

brock.beauchamp@jayscentre.com

 

There will be bumps and bruises along the way, there always are. I will be as attentive as possible to help anyone navigate the process as it happens.

 

Also, bluejaysmessageboard.com will automatically redirect to the new domain when the site goes down and is relaunched as jayscentre.com.

 

EDIT: THE SITE WILL GO DOWN MONDAY EVENING AND REAPPEAR TUESDAY MORNING AT THE NEW DOMAIN.

This is primed to be the most exciting move of the offseason

 

Congrats Term on your winning proposal. Really great work

 

Looking forward to laughing reactions and automatic tweet embedding

I think that's more of an indictment of the Jays than anything I've done. :D

 

Maybe a bit of both lol

 

I do think a lot of us are looking forward to seeing what’s to come for the site. We are overdue for a software update

Oh, forgot to mention that all existing posts and users will migrate to the new board. Everything that exists here on BJMB will move to Jays Centre.

Oh, this is exciting! This forum will shut down some time tomorrow evening (Dec 30) and be down until Tuesday morning. It should reappear at the new domain relatively early in the morning, running the new software with all posts and users imported into the new site.

Just read in the other thread that we'll eventually be able to say f*ck again, which is fantastic.

So the Jays will clearly make their biggest move of the off-season during this downtime right? Lol

Imagine the F5 spamming if a Bo trade or Vlad extension breaks in the downtime

Yes, I will start a thread and let people voice their opinions on word filters. A few words are off-limits (n-word, a bundle of sticks, etc) but the rest are fair game based on what the community at large thinks.

I think they already are

 

They are definitely not gone. They are the worst thing about this forum and have probably driven away many people.

I hope we sign Jurickson Profar and Jose Quintana tonight around 8 EST

 

If that happens I hope the site never comes back online.
