After a lot of consideration and input, we have decided to start up The Valpo Fan Zone, an independent, fan-driven site dedicated to Valpo Athletics.
In doing so, we have developed our own integrated forum (www.valpofanzone.com/forum/) that will give us a more professional and customized presence.
We have tested the forum, and have tried to make it look as much like this one as possible, in hopes that you will join us there to continue discussing Valpo sports as we have done here for the past 6 years. As people begin using it, I'm sure we will find things we don't like or want to add, etc. I have temporarily created an "Issues and Requests" board to help us keep track and organize these requests.
There is a downside to this move... Everything that is currently here will not be moved over, including accounts (you'll have to register a new account there.) Proboards "owns" the material here and does not allow us to move it (another "plus" to owning our own board.) Unfortunately, everyone's posts and post totals will be lost, but perhaps we can think of it as a fresh new beginning!
This board will be closed to new threads on 3/13 and become read-only on May 1st so you have plenty of time to head on over to the new board, sign up and get used to things there. I encourage you to sign up with your current user name, or a new one if you'd like... but please do not take another person's name. We can tell who signs up with what name, and if you take another person's username, you will be deleted.
I want to thank everyone for the support and the many valuable discussions that we have had here. When creating this site 6 years ago, I never imagined that we would one day have nearly 600 members!
Hope to see you all on the new site!
