Some member benefits of Proboards:
1. We have 3 free months of ad-free hosting, through about October 9. Around that time, we'll figure out a way to ensure that there are no ads in posts.
2. We're able to use the domain forum.soxprospects.com, which is a sub-domain off of soxprospects.com.
3. Largest forum host on the web, voted best forum host in 2011 by several website consortia.
4. More customizable than Yuku.
5. Dedicated mobile App for both iPhones & Droids
6. Users can register via their Fecabook, Google, Twitter, Yahoo accounts (or use the standard signup process).
7. Allows YouTube embedding, allows attachments, allows member file storage.
8. 99.95% uptime in 2011.
9. 24/7 support.
10. Better Polls - allows multiple vote option, allows users to change their votes

Will there be any migrating of threads over to this board or is a going to be a completely fresh start?
Everything looks real nice. Hope for you guys it's an easy transition.

We don't have the capability to migrate threads, so we'll essentially be starting from scratch. But the old posts on the old board will remain up indefinitely if you ever need to reference back.
If there are important posts and/or threads that you think should be moved over, we can put our heads together and talk about it.

Fantastic choice! Maybe this will be the place where I lose my rookie status after 9 long years...

Looks good, as a rookie, I've been looking to comment, but have had trouble with Yuku. Great site guys, As a Bosox Fan in Toronto, I appreciate the 'thoughtful' input from all posters and moderators, and following the development of the next Sox.

I totally get why you want to do a wholesale migration, and I'm OK with it. Thank you for all the work you do to keep this site running.

All right I'm in. Those old boards were "gutless."

Looks good, but I miss the space in my username, which for some reason Proboards can't work with...
Not even a measly underscore?

For those who DL the app, I highly suggest going to your settings and making the default the "forums" view (at least that's what I think it was called) instead of "latest," which includes posts from all of the forums in this site, including off-topic stuff. I just got really confused for a minute testing it out.

Android next after I see how this works...
One of the features I'd like to see is the ability to upload photos as Avatars. Don't know if that's possible, but if it is then please. Right now, looks like it's a URL or nothing.
Note: i was able to steal the avatar from the old site (via the URL) and size it up for display.
...downloaded the app and that looks to be very useful also! I'm sure it won't be an absolutely smooth ride, but thanks for switching over. I like it already. [from Android phone]
