I think the timing is right to start a new board somewhere. We would have time to notify everyone where the "old TMR" crew has migrated to.
I think our guest subscriptions to these boards are going to expire with our TMR payments (mine ends during Spring Training).
Nothing against RotoPass, but I'm not going to renew if we are asked to. I signed up with TMR, and now all that content belongs to ESPN. I'm not paying for Insider access there either. I like much of the work over there, but the noise level is just too much for me.
Here are the links to free message board sites that I posted earlier in this thread:
http://www.hyperboards.com/
http://www.rapidboards.com/
http://www.ezboard.com/
http://www.runboard.com/
The first two look the best to me, and can be skinned to make them "feel" the way we want them to.
Can someone (Jumphook, TBone, Havok) take the lead on this?
(Good to see some of the old posters still around!!)

Here is a sample site:
http://textgensports.hyperboards.com/index.php
I spent about 30 minutes on setting it up.
TextGen - get it? Like NextGen, but with Text....
Not so much? Ahhh crap - whatever - a wordsmith I ain't......
I'm just looking for someone to lateral the ball to.

I think the ultimate would be if these forums were open to all former TMR subscribers rather than just Rotopass subscribers. I can see where one might think they couldn't open it up and send a notification e-mail to all former members due to ESPN and the potential conflict of interest thing. But if it is just a forum and there are no articles, league management, etc. then I'm not sure you could say this forum is in any way competing with ESPN. The bottom line is that the old TMR forums were the best in the business.

| Hi Bookiebob and all, I'll take a look at what you set up later today (I'm at work now) - when I have a chance to check it out. Rager - re: who would be invited - the only person I know of with access to membership lists is Janet Becker. I doubt she could help with a move to another board - but she may be able to help us revive these boards by sending out an email to everyone who subscribes. But you do have a point about subscriptions running out etc. Mine will run out at some point also - April 1st, I believe. Having said that - I get the feeling TMR may just be waiting for everyone's subscription to run out and the board to fizzle before using it for some other venture, possibly with WWL. But I really don't know for certain.

My hope is that we could get Janet to send an e-mail to all former TMR subscribers, as well as open up these boards to all of them (us) with no account expiration. Maybe it is a pipe dream, but that would be way cool.

| It would be great if we could all stay together on this site (or another) throughout the baseball season and also add a few (or many) more knowledgable members like we had at TMR. I refuse to get involved in boards on other sites which seem to be loaded with name-calling and misinformation. The TMR boards had the best people and the best advice out there.
