So... after looking at the site, methinks it's safe to say that I can't talk about some tentacle-based endeavors there...?
Nah, seriously, I really wished I finished the thing I wanted to write, but it was kinda really awkward looking, so I scrapped it.

I'm sorry our starting a new website from scratch to support this board doesn't blow you away. I'll be sure to change some of the yellow borders on here to blue. Will that suit you? And by the way? We *are* moving the board - again, read my posts here. As far as post counts being reset to zero...? Hell, why not, one time only. I'm just saying after all this build, I sign on and the only difference is the logo in the upper left-hand corner. What exactly is new that affects the actual forums? Once again, for like the fifth time in this thread alone, we'll be doing the changes gradually over the next couple of weeks. We never said it was all going to be one-and-done, just that the changes were beginning today. Beginning. That's ALL we ever said. Please stop holding us up to something we never stated, I'm in way too good a mood right now for you to be a buzzkill. |

So, when can we start throwing out some submissions? I assume you guys don't want a rush of stuff while the website is still a few minutes old.

The forum IS getting a change soon. Tonight is all about the site launch.
Baby steps, friend.

Great idea for a new site, incorporating all the pop culture stuff that makes the OT forum so cool. A good way for things to metamorphosize from the Wrestlecrap days. And i'm glad there's only going to be minimal changes to the board itself as it's such an awesome place it really doesn't need radical changes.

Meh, 'The 'Crap' stands out more.
There are many things already named 'FAN', I personally associate it first with the NYC sports radio station.

Well I for one welcome our new FAN overlords. Well, not me. Yesterday I was all set to overthrow the mods and re-name the place Cthulandia, but this new FAN place has prevented me from doing so. (seriously, I like the new site) |

I know there's still a lot of stuff to be unveiled and what not, but I was curious if you've considered setting up a blog section either on the main site itself, or here on the boards? I think that would be a good way for people interested in contributing, but still needed to tweak style, grammar, whatever, to practice up and maybe make the "main squad" in the future.

I think we all - myself, Kash and our fantastic webmaster Jelly - need a couple days to breathe, then we'll make sure everything's running smoothly through the first weekly update. After that, I think we'll set something up. |

I can't speak for everybody, but I got the weirdest looks when I said I posted on "The 'Crap" forums. I highly doubt I'll get any when I say I do so on the FAN forums. |

Which, when talking to my GF or most other people, is why I just referred to this place as "The Forum". |

For me it was that I could always explain what Wrestlecrap was, but when I said I posted on The Crap Forums, people thought I was into some freaky shit.

To be honest, and I doubt I'm alone on this, I could care less what site this forum is attached to or not attached to. I care about the messageboard, nothing more. Congrats on the website, but if it doesn't instantly affect this board it shouldn't be hyped here as if it does. |

The board updates won't be anything major, but rather small things to help everything run a bit smoother and fit in a bit more with what Monsieur Carter and Kash Lash are trying to achieve with the new site, which in essence is a glorified version of what we prat around in with OT every day anyways.  And as everyone has said about this board for years... OT is really the bread and the butter of the forum. |

I was out when this happened. I admit not being crappers anymore is a bittersweet feeling, but the new site looks great!
Now I'm to lazy to read all 7 pages, so is the url going to remain the same or will that change overtime as well?
