We have acquired a new domain and it will be permanent. The new domain will not be activated until sometime Saturday. This will give us a couple of days to get the word out. I will be posting an announcement on the main page to let people know, as well as sending out emails to every member. I would also appreciate any help that you guys could give as far as spreading the word on Facebook, Twitter, etc.

The new domain will be http://www.thebengalsboard.com

Same site, same host, same servers, just a new URL.

Again, thanks for your patience and sorry for the inconvenience.

Other than that, I've just been waiting for the correction (now new site) to be made. Hopefully everyone else is doing the same. This board was going strong!

Anybody that belongs to other Bengals sites should get the word out. This is the only one I belong to and the only one I'm interested in.

I'll be sending out multiple emails to every member over the next couple of days to alert them of the new URL. We'll be working to make sure everyone gets notified and knows where to go.

I've held onto domains since 2002.  It's not hard...

We we be working over the weekend to try to get the word to everyone...with emails, on Twitter, etc.

I would ask that any member who is on Facebook, Twitter, another Bengals forum, etc...please share the new url a few times so that's it's available for everyone to find.

Give the team time to sort out their issues and I'm willing to bet we will be hearing an explanation.

Why be so pushy like you're entitled to an answer within so many hours?
