Well, we have some pretty creative folks on here like @Toni Zamboni. I bet we could raise some dough by making a custom t-shirt or hoodie to support this place. I'd buy one or two. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In retrospect, and partly from a response someone made in the other thread (with the poll), I wonder if the "racist" thing that corporate was complaining about is in relation to all the (well-deserved, in my humble opinion) shit that we throw at Gory Buttman and his gaggle of clowns?

Respect is something that is earned, not demanded. He hasn't earned fuck all from me, and I believe a good portion of the Canucks fanbase (and other fanbases) would agree that if he wasn't such a weasel, maybe people would respect him more instead of booing him every time that wanker took the podium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care if you respect him (though I do disagree with the typical Canadian stance on Bettman), those elementary school insults are just cringeworthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post footsteps Posted September 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) Two decades of lurking on CDC, and now I actually sign up for this site. An old dog can learn new tricks (I was 8 when the Canucks entered the league). So my first post comes with a bit of a splash. Earlier in this thread the idea was made of some sort of merch partnership to help fund this site. I was hit with a brainwave (or two) and put together some ideas for flags/banners, inspired by the South Africa flag, as it combined preferences for two 'factions' into one whole. Perhaps these will inspire more creative types to come up with something more refined. Edited September 20, 2023 by footsteps 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 7 hours ago, Bob Long said: wait, what? who the hell said that? When I spoke with Chief Revenue Officer on Monday afternoon, one of the things he said was that the marketing group as a whole had gotten pushback from ownership and advertisers saying that they felt there were some racist comments that were originating in the board. Personally, I don't ever remember seeing one, and as I told him, the moderators on the board do an excellent job of controlling temper flares etc, but the occasional inappropriate comments are bound to happen in any public forum, but that I've never seen any and anything outside of specific code of conduct is NOT tolerated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd purchase new stuff via a link like that to support this site. I agree with this completely! We should all get together when there's enough of it out there for a photo in front of the arena with a sign that says, RIP Forum.Canucks.com LONG Live ForumCanucks.com and then send it to EVERY media outlet! Yes, that would be a bit of a backhanded slap to them, but they have earned it and the media in this town would literally eat it up. It would fuel membership here as well as revenue flow to @Ribs as well as the other moderators.

DixonWard Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 The team's decision to shut down cdc, is disappointing on many levels, but also shows there poor understanding of marketing. 98% of the times I went to Canucks website were to get to cdc. While I wasn't there to see their releases and their propoganda, I would see it while I was there and often read it. I will almost never go to their site anymore. I would suspect the same is true for most of us. This will greatly reduce the visits and eyeballs on their site. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to open it up to the graphic designers on here, maybe let some folks put forward some ideas that we can pick for a t-shirt purchase e.g. But yeah, I like the idea of a revenge tee 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWJC Posted September 21, 2023 Author Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) I actually really like FCDC. I think it’s fitting and still is representative of this new forum. As for site merch, maybe we just have a section or link to member-designed T-shirts (like Threadless) to help raise funds for expenses? Pretty easy to design a tshirt with all the available tools online now. Edited September 21, 2023 by RWJC 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
