Popular Post Guntrix Posted September 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2023 I don't understand what the point of insisting on an explanation from management is. Many posters have already moved on, with many more on the way. It's like a girlfriend breaking up with you and insisting that she give you an explanation. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(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. Brother/Sister, one thing I need you to know is that nothing is ‘ending’. This is the same place that you get to be supported and talk Canucks Hockey! Message me if you need any help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets move on to the new site, graciously created by Stealth. Well, if nothing else, maybe we can get this recognized as the Official Canucks Forum... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn't then does that mean all those Canuck conspiracies were right? Rome getting the longest suspension in NHL history in the SCFs for a half second late legal hit comes to mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s gotta be ‘unofficial’. For legal, privacy reasons. That’s it. Move on. We all are gonna move on to a site that is independently owned and we’re going to be a fan site owned and paid by the fans. That’s it. That’s all. Don’t bother asking why. It is what it is. Don’t make me go old school Sharpshooter on you. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Chon derry Posted September 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) @VegasCanuck I really liked your letters. At best we can hope for is some kind of response like oh we had no idea of the popularity of the site? There is definitely a missed opportunity at play here. Their certainly not going to admit to a “don’t know what you had til it’s gone “ response. The damage is done and it’s all on their short sited dumbass decisions. Of which we’ve all questioned at some point in time. This very same questioning is the very reason they came to this cancel culture decision in the first place. Their out now, and have absolutely no power over this Site. I hope the door hits them in the face both coming and going!!!!!!

Sharpshooter Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I am, and so many of us, are so glad to see new and vintage posters here. It took the apocalypse for us to finally get together eh? Everyone needs to bother Vintage, respectfully of course, because this new place wouldn’t ever be the same without him.

I expected to get some type of brush off response. I was surprised that I got a reply in less than 20 minutes on a Saturday night from the President of the business side of the Canucks organization. This guy would be roughly on a parr with JR in terms of position, just different division. The reply came from someone who would report directly to Francesco Aquilini. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what’s concerning to me is that something like this happening in the first place whether by design or accidental is moot. We’re better off here avoiding any of it. And I actually hope there is a didn’t know what you had til it’s gone situation on their part. To bad we’re here now.

ShotgunJake Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 It ain’t the same, all the history lost just like that. Let’s be real the Canucks org. never cared about the community. I feel bad for some guys…. I know companionship from the forum got them out of a dark place and without it, they would no longer be here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Just wondering, if there was a way to contact the Executive or their helper who made this decision, what would you say and how could we make our collective voices heard? It’s too late obviously. I’ll never go back, but I’m wondering how to let ‘them’ know that they just hundreds of actual supporters and the thousands that we all know and can influence? Greatest sports merchandise marketing and sports business failure ever? Yeah. I think so. Sharpshooter of old?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
