Hello all, Tom here with some BIG BR Page news to report. The former webmaster Roger will be gone indefinitely because he recently got a new job. He offered to give the page to me, but I don't feel that I'm able to keep up with it any longer. So I'm giving The BR Page away to Kristoffer Averheim. He's a great webdesigner and he has a lot of exciting changes planned for the page. Below is a welcome message from Kristoffer. He'd really like to have some feedback, so please email him and let him know what you think. He's working on having the page up by the summer. Until then, I'll still be maintaining the page so continue to email me with any BR news. Here's Kristoffer's message:

Hi Bad Religion friends!

I have some sad news to report. First of all, our favorite website since 8 years will come to an end. For 8 years The BR Page has been our safe home. But now it’s time to say goodbye. Roger and Tom are leaving as webmasters. It’s time to say goodbye to the old BR page and welcome the new and improved Bad Religion Page.

Yes it’s true, the BR page will be redesigned. But don’t worry. Everything’s going to be the same. The Answer will be there. Defining BR too. The message boards, the news section, the tabs, yes everything will be there. But everything will have a new shape. And everything will be more punk! The news will be updated more often. It will be easier to add your comments to Defining BR. But how? And how can the site be more punk than today? Well, because there will be no editors. No one to censor your opinions. The fact is that you together with all other BR fans out there will the editors. You will write the news. You will be the ones who are writing concert reviews. And no one will censor it!

A lot of things are going to happen to the BR page! You will see a complete list below.

These are my plans for The NEW Bad Religion Page. Note that this is just my play, and maybe some things will not come about.

• A domain name! Like www.thebadreligionpage.net or something.
• No annoying popup ads!
• New Layout.
• A cooler Message Board with a Topic of the week section. I want to make a dialog between different opinions. The weekly topic can be a pressing issue, like the Iraq conflict, cloning, the music industry or something else.
• Everything (news, tabs, the answer) will be put in databases = easier to update and redesign the site. Everyone will be able to edit these things.
• Hopefully a better news section with more news and interviews. Not only BR news. The news reporters will be you!
• Possibility to add a comment to the news.
• Some tour info. Dates, history, reviews
• A Quiz where you can win great BR prices!!!
• A small weekly survey.
• A The BR Page member’s only section. Including what? What do you think?
• Defining BR. This will be easier to edit.
• The content of The Answer will be the same as today.
• Maybe some E-cards with BR.
• Photo Gallery
• Video- and Discography
• The History of BR
• Who’s who? Info about the BR people
• Tabs
• Today’s picture. A new picture from the gallery every day.

The ideas are coming from me, Kristoffer Averheim. I’m the person who got the great and heavy responsibility to manage the site after Roger and Tom.

You probably have some questions about who the crazy man behind these words is, so I will describe myself briefly. I live in Sweden, just a few miles from the Arctic Circle. I’m a Master of Science student at Lulea University of Technology. I’ve been a BR fan since I was 12 (or a few months before Stranger than Fiction so you can count on your fingers and toes how old I am.) I have been designing websites for 6 years, but the only site I’ve got on the internet today is a site with a lot of photos (www.kristoffer.shows.it). You will get a more detailed description of me some other time.

The new site will probably be on the net in late June or maybe July or even later. I really need a lot of help from all BR fans out there. Please drop me a line if you think my ideas are good, strange or bad. If you’re good at coding, designing, drawing, paparazzo or anything else and want to be a part of the BR Page Team, then send me an e-mail today! I’m sure I can’t make this project all by myself. So if I don’t get any help or response, I maybe not will build a New BR page. I look forward to hear from you all very soon.

Your new BR Page webmaster,

Kristoffer Averheim
