After months of hard work by clan members and our outside design team, Baptized by Fire is pleased to show you to our newest site design. The new website features both a content management system (CMS) upgrade as well as a change in forum software. Both of these changes were made to allow us access to tools that we were not able to easily utilize with our previous site version. This added functionality helps to bring the website up to date and gives us extra ways of communicating with clan members as well as site visitors.

You have undoubtedly noticed that the new layout is a complete rework from our previous site design. This was an intentional change as our previous design suffered from large areas of white. We hope that you agree that we have addressed this issue with the new design. While our color palette remains constant we have used greys and blacks more often to produce a darker theme which we hope will be easier on the eyes.

Feel free to explore the pages of the new site, I am sure you will find new features intermixed with the familiar content. Questions, requests, and feedback regarding the site can be placed in our new forum Site Requests, Feedback, and F.A.Q. We will continue to customize and modify the site to meet our future needs. Keep your eyes open for our next update!

The Baptized by Fire website at clanbbf.com will be unavailable for use on Tuesday October 23rd, 2012 between the hours of 7 and 9 PM ET. Following this maintenance window our site will return with an improved layout and upgraded systems.

We apologize for any inconvenience this outage may cause and invite you to revisit us at 9PM EST Tuesday to experience the latest version of clanbbf.com
