DO POST ON THESE BOARDS!!!

Penngray, the fact is we DO need 2 boards going until all the essential stuff on the old boards (standings, rules, league info, etc.) is copied and pasted to the new boards.
TSN has already said they won't port content from the old boards to the new. If that's the case, it makes no sense to shut down the old boards immediately (or make them read-only, as planned) so we can't get into our posts in edit mode there to copy them over here without losing formatting.
Instead of discouraging, you should be ENCOURAGING people to get essential posts copied over here BEFORE the old boards are shut down, and also to get used to these boards so the transition will be smoother and people will be familiar with this board before the old one shuts down.
You also seem to forget that this is a BETA board, and part of the reason for posting here now is to help get the bugs ironed out BEFORE the old board shuts down.
I do agree that TSN has dropped the ball and should immediately get direct links to this board from the games to encourage more people to get used to posting here BEFORE the mandatory changeover.
I understand your desire to complete the change as soon as possible, I'd like that too. But discouraging people from posting here in the meantime is not helpful.
The sooner people get used to posting here, the sooner the old boards can be shut down without major disruption, and the sooner folks can get over it.

No that is the wrong way!
We will ALL stay on the old boards (ONE BOARD) until TSN makes us ONLY post to the new board.
You must remember that TSN can block posts from the old board but still allow us to search and retrieve from that board to copy here. You guys posting here dont understand that 90+% of the SOM crowd doesnt even come here so you are simply wasting time and creating more confusion!!
Post over there to FORCE TSN to make a better decision.
So please no more posts in the tour thread here!!

The only logical method of doing this is to FORCE everyone over. TSN created confusion and Im trying to end that confusion until TSN gets it through their heads!
