I really don't want this to turn into a bashing of the other site or of Colin. Colin was one of the first in the CFL community to provide us with a CFL forum and I am forever thankful for the years of fun, discussion, and insight that I was able to enjoy over there with the platform that he provided. We have no hard feelings or dislike for Colin or the other site. We had reasons why we created this site, and it wasn't a decision that was made lightly. I don't think there is any benefit in regurgitating those here. Suffice it to say that our focus is now on the present (this site) and the future and building this place into a thriving CFL and Blue Bomber community.

You're not the first to ask for the contrast .. I can definitely escalate the request to the Powers That Be (All Hail JimmyFresco). I am going to see if I can't knock off a few of these (hopefully) quicker cosmetic changes over the next couple of days. I just got home from picking up our season tickets and taking a stroll through the new stadium. The new stadium is jaw dropping first class, and well worth any wait we had for it. Super pumped for the season and to watch the first game there.

If you click on the Search bar above the twitter feed, there are links to read unread posts, new posts, active topics, etc. I've done the same thing with the save draft. It should probably be swapped positions with the Submit button. I will add the others to the list.

We are going to do our best to make this forum the best that we can, and a desired place for all CFL fans to come and get their CFL news, discussion, and debates. Have a suggestion to make the site better? Something you want to see? Post it here, lets get the debate going and we will try to implement the most sought after features.

There are a couple I've been looking at adding. It is definitely doable. Based on what I've been researching, we will likely have to make it "experimental" to begin with to see what kind of load it puts on the server. But the only real way to find out is to put it on and see what happens on game day. And not a stupid question, we want to know what everyone wants to see on the site to make this a community people want to come to and use. So by all means, bring the suggestions. We will do our best to implement the most popular ones.
