I think moving off of jcink is a mistake. Moving to something unfamiliar may cause people to leave en masse if it's not inherently intuitive.
A sim league doesn't need a flashy site/forum to operate, it needs a functional one that is easy to navigate which the jcink format does perfectly.

I disagree. One of the biggest barriers of entry is the forum. It's clunky, unappealing to the eye, and the information needed to get started is scattered. If we can make this more robust and streamlined we're going to see retention skyrocket.

I’ve grown to quite like jcink but it’s definitely not welcoming or intuitive. I’m reminded of a post a newer user made recently referencing the fact that they had to have 4-5 tabs open on different pages in order to create their player. That’s definitely not ideal, especially for mobile users.

Ultimately that's the main goal. I know Exilizer has been working on using a new forum software that will hopefully have a seamless transition. I've personally been on it and, at least to my eyes, it feels very much the same but also prettier and more convenient. There's other add ons that the team is planning on implementing to make everything even more functional.

One of the things that the dev team is working super hard on is making a player creation tool, sort of like the one PBE has (not that I'd know how to use that, I've never created there lol). It should hopefully clear out this problem and make the onboarding process easier for brand new users and recreates alike.
