VegasCanuck Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Just a heads up, I am trading emails with the President of Canucks Business Operations right now. I sent an email to the ENTIRE Canucks management team, including Francesco Aquilini and got into all but 5 email boxes. We are arranging to talk directly this coming week.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will only solidify their stance on their decision , the damage is done. Besides this site is less stringent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent a really detailed email, detailing why shutting down the forum was a bad idea. Response from someone that high up on a Saturday night?

Besides this site is less stringent It'd be good to know if they'll give us some meaningful explanation, or some fluff talking points. If it's the former, then maybe there might be at least some closure, even if we don't re-engage with the site should it continue operating beyond Sept 30th. If it's the latter, then fuck them, they deserve every lost dollar that they could've earned but instead burned by shutting down the site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HIWATT Posted September 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2023 It's funny reading some of the posts in the CDC closure thread where guys are like "I started coming here when I was 10, now I'm 23" How many times did ask yourself back then "is this guy 10 years old or what?" when you were reading a post... well....... 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the work that’s been done to create this site in such short order coupled with what was such a short sighted decision on their part I could care less what their response is. my loyalty is with this site. And not some blithering idiots in a board room making decisions with no consideration to the number of people they impacted. They can all burst into flames. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, 5 emails on the first message bounced, JR, Alvin, Tallon, Granato and Castonguay. The reason they bounced was Authorization to send them email protection...I wasn't in their address books as approved to send them emails. Michael did a reply to all to my original message which means, I am now IN their address books and they saw 2 replies and Francesco will have seen my email plus 2 replies from a senior manager, which means, he or whoever screens his email will notice it and the business case I made around the forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have empathy bud. I mentioned going through this before on another, non-hockey forum. (other thread) There are a number of reasons why the loss of CDC is way less devastating in general, and I do see how some younger folks who've not known a world without the internet might find this terribly upsetting. It's like a breakup. The quicker you move on the better. It's the people that make the site anyway not the site itself. Think of it like a church. A church is not a building, it's the people in the building. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of this matters my friend. CDC is going to be shut down effectively Oct. 1. Lets move on to the new site, graciously created by Stealth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be interesting to see if this happens on all other NHL team platforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
