I love this site! Can't wait to hear the news! :believe:

And the news is Wade Christopher is the new mod!

I had thought that might be the big news too.

However, on reflection, with WC there would be no need for moderation.

Keep those speculations coming, wild and wide open !

With great excitement, today I am able to announce the next great chapter in our story: Auburn Eagle is joining forces with AUFAMILY to create the largest AU online community anywhere.

This strategic move, which has been in the works for many months, will multiply our collective member size and traffic and make us the preeminent destination for the entire Auburn Family to connect, exchange information and share our stories.

So what does this all mean for Auburn Eagle? It means that while our name and message board platform will soon change, the same guiding principles that we built this community on will remain. We have no intentions to drastically change this site or tear it down in any way. To the contrary, in the coming days and weeks, the Admins and Mods from both sites will be working around the clock to ensure a seamless integration of our community into AUFAMILY.

But it's much better than just a platform and domain name change. Once the merger is complete (expected by kickoff), immediate benefits will include:

  • Forums with comprehensive tools that enable you to discuss effortlessly:
    • Fully featured text editor with "what you see is what you get" functionality.
    • Automatic video and audio posting (when you post a link to a video from supported site, content is automatically displayed using the appropriate audio/video player).
    • Mobile skin for smart phone / tablet browsing!
    • Configurable notifications.
    • Follow this topic/forum options.
    • Social network integration (i.e., Facebook and Twitter Connect). Also, share functionality to integrate your broader online experience with the site.
    • Customizable user profiles and status updates.

    [*]Access to a fully-featured photo and multimedia sharing Gallery so members can upload photos and create their own albums.

    [*]Real-time Chat and messaging to allow members to interact with each other instantly â€" great for gameday, national signing day, recruiting announcements and other live events.

    [*]Interactive Blogs feature great AU contributors like StatTiger, The TigerTail Team and other special guest bloggers (TBA!).

    [*]The return of a home page aggregating all of the AU news and information you could ever want.

    [*]Support of a social media network that is 55,000+ strong and growing (become a fan/follower if you are not already)!

Even more to be announced in the coming months, and the best part, the world's largest site for AU fans will continue to remain FREE for the entire AU Family.

So what do I need to do? In short, nothing (no need to go register over there, etc.) -- we're going to do everything for you! This Friday evening, the site will go offline as the transition process begins. Your user name, credentials, post history and all of the site's content will be migrated over and integrated into AUFAMILY. This merge effort will continue through the weekend. Your patience and understanding is appreciated! And Monday morning, we'll be back open for business and ready to kickoff the 2012 season!

So strap in for the ride and hang on tight, good just got great and even bigger things are on the horizon.

War Eagle!
