Who's staying, who's leaving, and who's doing both?

See… I had every right to be totally confused yesterday! This is the old site that is now the new site. This was certainly a pleasant surprise to wake up to… and now I understand why nobody could say anything.
Had a similar idea for a poll, but figured the most common answer would be ‘it depends’ (e.g., on how the 2 boards are moderated, where the favorite posters go, etc.).
I think for alot of folks, what Tom does next will be a motivator.
I cannot express to you how much it sucked the last few days to be so cryptic. But as I said in the other post, I have a massive amount of respect for the guys at BWI and didn’t want to come on what was still their property and say that everyone should stick with rivals
Probably leaning toward staying because all our old posts are here--there's value in being able to look up, say, what we all had to say about a recruit coming in at the time. The motivation to move to On3 was predicated on all this going away. But all that's appeared to happen is that the sign on the front door changed. The site are otherwise functionally equivalent, from what I can tell.
That’s my lean, too, unless some big differences develop in favor of the other site.
I have not spoken to Tom personally but I know I said to Richie last week or so I want him here and Richie was on board completely. So I’m very much hoping Tom would like to be a part of this with us.
Also, in any actual migration you're going to lose people because no matter how easy making the switch might seem, some/many won't bother or will trip over a technical hurdle and give up. All things being equal, 'staying' grants a better chance of everything remaining pretty much the same. 'Leaving' guarantees a smaller pool of users, at least to start with. Network effect.
Yeah, I wasn’t planning to deal with the hassle of switching over unless this site really did disappear . . . but then I had a REALLY lazy Saturday and ultimately registered over there to avoid the potential need to do so later, when it definitely would be more of an inconvenience.
I with Hotshoe, now I've got three boards. I need a check up from my neck up!!
Will frequent both boards. I think eventually one “wins out” and becomes the primary site for the legacy group of posters and followers, but time will tell.
Why Tom does will be a motivator for me.
Why did BWI move? Why could they not take the old posts with them? Why should I want to move with them?
If Tom is moderator at the new place, why did he want to move with them? Is he them?
In other words, hypothetically, if WildTurk said, “let’s all move!” how many would follow? And, actually, who is the one saying “let’s all move!” ?
And what is their sales pitch?

Going to do both at this point, but willing to offer my keen insight and intellect to the highest bidder!
Nope. I am done. I have no idea who is, except Richard. Happy days.
This board was quite easy, even during Covid. The other two took a lot of time, particularly during Covid.
Why? Are you a paid employee or owner? If so, is “buy my product because you’ve never heard of me and I say so” a customer-pleasing self introduction and sales pitch?
I am the new publisher yes and I posted out introduction on the board early this AM and have been linking it nonstop in posts to help you guys get to know the staff and myself. But yes I think me coming in here saying click on our site will help

Hey, Hotshoe, thank you for doing your FANTASTIC job as moderator!! What a positive influence you have been to people’s happiness!! 👏👍
Well thank you. I greatly appreciate that. This was/is the best wrestling board out there. That said, that was because of the members here. For the most part, the board policed itself. And that really matters.
It seems like Tom is committed to making the new place sparkle for now, FWIW. I guess I'll be sitting between 2 worlds for a bit. That's OK. It's not like I ever have anything constructive to do...
I totally agree with Dog, you did a great job! Thanks
I haven't contributed much to this forum but have enjoyed reading it for many years. Granted, on3 only got $1 out of me, but I have to say a feel a little duped and hope folks stay here for that reason. That said, I'll go where the insider info posted via the forum is the best.
Sorry to hear this Hotshoe. Always appreciated you telling the obvious "morons" to GTFO. Always seemed to be "quicker" than other mods, imo. Really enjoyed that.
Anyway, you will be missed by this guy. Cheers !!!!
That one is cutting weight for Okie State
