IT'S A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL THEY USE FOUR! THE TREACHERY!

I've also enabled embedding from youtube, x, facebook, instagram, etc. If there are others that don't seem to be working or you would like added, let me know.

Have to admit, I always wanted to know this,

I've upgraded the board to the next major version.
This is a significant upgrade from Version 4 to Version 5. I've been putting this off for almost a year as I didn't want to do it mid-season. Now with activities for next season starting, I wanted to get the upgrade in before next season activities start so any bugs can get worked out.
Why the upgrade....
This gets us on the most current version, which is important for security updates and new functionality. They have been doing security patches for the old version, but that won't last forever, and this also lets me upgrade some of the software that the board runs on to a current version.
Like everything else, the people who make the board software are really trying to push everyone to their cloud, as that gives them higher recurring revenue. But their hosting costs do not make sense for the size of the forum (it would 2x to 4x the cost I pay now depending on what plan we went to). Good news for now is they've committed to version 5 of the software to be self hosted. That should hopefully buy 5 - 10 years before they go to version 6.
Please be patient
There is going to be some tweaks and changes you'll notice over time, feel free to post in here anything that seems off or not right, there are still some tweaks that need to make to settings and the theme.
Some changes you may notice
They completely changed how tagging works.  Now admins / mods can maintain a list of tags, members can't create new ones.  This was done to better categorize and search content.  All existing tags have been converted, but let me know if you want new tags created.
Support for Web Apps on your phone
Complete theme overhaul.  A new theming system means I've had to rebuild the theme.  It is close to what we used to have, but there will be some discrepancies. There are still some more tweaks and updates I want to make to it.
There is a completely revamped post editor.  It does seem to be easier to use and more powerful.
A lot of other behind the scenes updates and changes to things we don't use that often.

The DT we have added to our negotiation list are very interesting and it’s pretty obvious by the amount of them we have added this year that we’re recruiting hard there
Anterio Thompson added on the 19th … 6’4 310
James Thompson Jr added on the 23rd … 6’6 305
Kevionta Spears added on the 28th … 6’4 315
Casey Rogers added on the 23rd … 6’5 305
Dominic Bailey added on the 16th … 6’3 300
Looks like they’re recruiting a specific build type of here and not looking at the fire hydrant guys we have in the past. Getting longer. Like to see that a lot. 
 
 

I think its time to move on from Jefferson. He's going to be 35, he's had declining production the past two seasons, he takes plays off and he costs too much money. Too be honest, he seems to get a pass from many here, while other players don't.

3 years. 290 k this upcoming year. Yeah it’s a lot but for one of the very best players in the league in the prime of his career and a home town hero to boot. It’s a no brainer, especially with the rising cap. I would take Brady at 290 over Keon Hatchers at 330k any day of the week. 

I love the signing but not at that insane money. Man, we better be pairing him with a damn good OC because hes got an enormous contract to live up to.

And a live shot of MOS right after the signing:

Last angle seemed to show it was not.

Damn
 

Will have to bring out the 13th man to help them out.
 
The CC wants to be part of the game as well apparently.
 

Don't play hurt qbs in grey cup games!

Just what the Als d needed to do, 2 and out

An epic collapse from Saskatchewan would also be acceptable.

You probably can't slam-dunk, being white and all (I'm assuming).

That would be a happy little accident.

Alexander is stinking it up

Alexander ain't all that!
 

Younger generation is all over this kinda genre..good choice by cfl

I popped my head in here fully expecting this thread to have devolved into complaining about the Bombers..... Confirmed. 
Never change, gang....

Efing TSN feed keeps blacking out for about 10 seconds.  Not sure when it comes back it's live, or behind by a few seconds.
 
Suitor will have to change his shorts at half time.

Still better than what the Bombers were doing!
