Welcome to the New Bulletin Board board hop.
The BB board hop is a tool designed to further promote the various Proboard message boards.
To All Hoppers: When hopping, please look at the boards you are being transported to. To continue the Board Hop, you may have to look in the side tables of the boards you go to, or you may see the table at the top of the board with the "Next Board" link. On some boards the Board Hop URL may be near the bottom of the board, located inside a forum marked for the board hop. The reason for this is that the original idea for the hop wanted the Board Hop link inside of a thread near the top of the board. Suggestions came in with different ideas. First it was putting the board hop data in a table at the top of the main page, then someone had the idea of putting the hop link in the side table, it progressed to placing the board hop near the bottom of the main page, or in a forum near the bottom.
Since the purpose of the hop is to "showcase" the boards who join it.. all of these ideas were good ones, so we incorporated the new ideas. In time we may settle on just one or two locations for the Hop Link, however (as it sits now) the hoppers sort of have to look around for it -- which does coincide with the reasons for the hop. If the Hopper has to look, then the hopper sees the board. Sneaky, huh?
If the board has a forum for posts from the Hopper, please be kind and leave a message in that thread to show you were on the board. You only are asked to post one message in the board hop thread, instead of like some hops where they ask you to post every time you hop. The purpose of this hop is to not inflate post count... it's to show off the boards.
Also we urge you to check out the boards you visit and try to find, at least, one board you would be interested in posting on... then post there.
To All Board Admins: We ask you to place your link to the hop fairly quickly, the hop doesn't work if the hoppers cannot get to the boards. We also ask you to let us know what you think of the hop, especially your ideas on where every board on the hop should place their link to the hop. I didn't decide to do this to make the Board Admins work harder than they do, but you all are vital links in this hop and you all should have the right to be heard.
If you go down for maintenance, or close your board, please try to give us 24 to 48 hours notice, so that we can adjust the hop -- if necessary, to keep it unbroken. If we find out your board does not allow the hop to continue, we will need to take you out of the loop.
Thank you all very much and remember - have fun. See you at "The Hop".
