Moving on from Jcink

[infinitempg]

So quick question here for HO. We're about to have an r/NFL class which is always a big class and retaining numbers from this class is huge for the development of the league. How is going to make an r/NFL post tomorrow(?) Get all these new members in and signed up on jcink and then in 2 weeks tell them they have to go use another site and get used to that one. As happy as I am to see the league moving forward and making progress It just seems the timing is a bit off for this.

yeah this is really a tough pickle we are in and it's been discussed to some length. we almost decided to just do the migration tonight actually, so that we could avoid that problem, but it would cause more problems than it would solve.

ultimately we thought that having that awkward phase would be better than waiting the 6+ weeks for the next offseason to do the switch. there are a few other phases of "fancy new isfl site" in the pipeline that we don't want to release all at once.

we might have to do extra hand holding and it might cost some recruits, but moving off of jcink sooner rather than later is where our heads are at. for older users it might be a bit of a culture shock but we're hoping that the design isn't too much of a burden, and since the forms behave all the same (save for tagging which is *slightly* different), they can help lend a helping hand as well.

it's probably worth mentioning that I'm actually IP-blocked by JCINK and i have to use cell data to access the forums haha

Is there also going to be extra monitoring on the reddit posts incase people have issues with the site and not being on discord? I only ask because I know when I started in the league I didnt know what discord was and wanted to join the league so I messaged whoever posted asking about it and I didnt get a response for about 3.5-4 months from the person. I'm only worried about losing members as my future with this league depends on decent sized draft classes so I'd like to know that all ground are being covered to help the new people when they show up.

that can definitely be done! i think it might be worth our time to also put multiple points of contact for new recruits on the reddit post too. we're definitely prepared for some bumps in the road with this transition

This is why you're the goat ?. Thanks for answering. I know moving to the new site is huge just wanted to see what the plans were for the hiccups with arguably the most important class coming in.

The RMs have made a shared ISFL Rookie Mentor account and will be watching the post through the day!
