I've signed up over at ourjets.com ourjets.com/message-board/index.phpSo far, it's great. Great interface! And even a jetsowner.com welcome from the mod in a thread I started. Check it out. WAAAAAY better than the Freep forum.

No, not yet. I think many of us were waiting for news on DF's new forum, only to be disappointed at the realisation it's the Freep "comments" board.
It's a good site...give it a shot.

Not sure where I will go. I am anxiously waiting the arrival of the official NHL Jets forum. I'm not impressed at all with the Winnipeg Free Press site. I guess I will jets be patient and see which forum is better to post at in October.
I still cannot understand why the owner is closing this site, as it has everything, and I always expected it to be the unofficial Jets forum once a team returned.

Agreed. It has a built in fan base with no "corporate" loyalty or slant (such as Freep). You dont close a shop with thousands of customers outside because you want to have a "fresh start" across town with ten people.
I would assume there was some monetary considerations perhaps. But it's a head scratcher nonetheless. Again, I say forget the Free Press and their agenda and go with ourjets.com

that WFP forum is terrible. I guess Darren thought everyone would follow him over... guess again! He probably thought HE was the reason for the all traffic here... SMH

What a terrible decision to partner with WFP, brutal looking forum. I'll try ourjets or HF boards

Plus, the WFP is known for censorship. If you rub someone there the wrong way, they will try and silence you.

I'm a big fan of DF but to me this just seems like a personal decision as far as a gig with WFP that required getting rid of a competing and better forum. Tough for the rest of us. I whole-heartedly endorse the ourjets forum from ourbombers.com Let's get EVERYONE over there. No worries about media censorship there I whole-heartedly endorse jetsbelievers.proboards.com. The long time members here were all "believers" in the cause, that's why they were here to begin with. Now we can all continue to believe in our potential on the ice. Just sayin...

Well, sad to see this forum go up in smoke.
Been here since the beginning.
Good times.
By the way folks, I am at HFboards now - same username New Jets.
Did have Ace as an avatar but now I have the new Jets logo. Hope to see more of the regular ROTJers there

When the rumour thread got shut down I started jetsrumour.com . It never really got any traction, but it has a pretty good interface. My point is, if you want to use it, feel free. I don't really maintain it but I will if people start using it. If not that's cool too. Just let me know where everyone shows up

that WFP forum sucks. Everyone should transtion to this one .http://jetsbelievers.proboards.com/index.cgi It's proboards, and it looks bad now, but it just started and is opened to suggestions. Anyone is welcome to come and help build it. It's like a democracy in a way.

SMH I have no idea why you aren't banned yet... This is place is now the wild west of the internet until the End of Days (Aug 5).... I don't really understand why Jimi jumped so early, but ENTIRELY his prerogative.... it's not like he owed "us" to stick around.
