I’m incredibly grateful to be a small part of the BP community, and tremendously excited to make a much larger contribution to it moving forward.

As Will (@Clarity) so emotionally and eloquently wrote in his post yesterday, needed change is coming. As he stated, I am the new “owner” of the site. My primary focus and commitment to the community is the health and well-being of the site, without compromising the culture whatsoever.

Based on the clear urgency in @AKAK ’s most recent financial distress thread, I doubt much of this is a surprise to anyone.

Here is a short list of improvements on the way, with much more detail and discussion on most of the items to follow as we get closer to kickoff/implementation.

Server migration and updating/upgrading the current software. BP will be OFFLINE MONDAY MORNING FROM 9:00 AM UNTIL 1:00 PM to accommodate this migration.

Repairing all the features that no longer function or work properly.

No more donations. Please cancel these if you have a recurring donation.

We will begin running minimally intrusive targeted ads.

We will have a site sponsor, and will definitely ask our community to support the site sponsor.

Redesign the front page.

A new, more thoughtful use of social media to grow and strengthen our community.

Finally, I want to thank everyone who mentioned me in Clarity’s thread and/or PM’d me to show their support after the announcement. It’s literally just a microcosm of what makes this place so special to me.
WTF? You click on a thread clearly marked, "What's on Tap?" and there's no mention of beer. I feel deceived. Other than that, push on brother.
