The OOC message should come from the pen of a senior member, preferably a senior editor. I, for instance, would be very uncomfortable with using the plural form "we", in mentioning the decision to shift the narrative, as I wasn't a participant at the time that decision was made.
It should mention the details in the message above; namely that a good bit of the canon is being altered, and with it much of the tone of the subjects covered, and that a full refresh of the website is being worked on, but that since this is an all-volunteer effort, any changes may come later, rather than sooner. A link to the new and updated articles page might be appropriate here.
In contrast to the IC message, it should probably also include a brief invitation to join the message boards and contribute their own voices and talents.
