I know some (don't know specifics) vindictive banned users would regularly send complaints in to the Canucks brass. When our guy Kevin (mentioned in this article) was still with the Canucks, he was good at getting them to just let us mods deal with angry users and was a strong supporter of the community and traffic it drove to the Canucks site. Once Kevin left, it was really a matter of time.

wow, imagine being that upset over being banned, smh.

Talk to Stealth/Ribs.

Sponsorship with SportsAction would be ok by me.

I don't even care if Stealth makes a modest income from the site.

But do we need the decision reversed?

We have this awesome new sight that's kicking off, free from their tyranny.

Yes, Thanks to @Ribs (Stealth) for putting up this new site.  It looks great.  I have been wondering about the economics. Obviously it takes some resources to run a site even if some people (like Ribs) are willing to volunteer their time.

It is nice that the site is not over-run with ads, but I agree with (the) @Ghostsof1915 that some sort of sponsorship might make sense.

I would kick in a couple dollars a month donation like I do with my favorite podcast. Wonder if that would be an easy thing for 'ribs' to set up?

The forum has a commerce option, so I might try to get that going - probably at the start of October. Sponshorships would also be fantastic.

You could also consider OnlyFans. Jk

 

Whenever you’re set up, just provide a breakdown of operational costs and what you require monthly to keep everything afloat and a bonus for yourselves and mods, and I’ll provide an ongoing contribution towards it. 
Cheers!
