    i can't believe this forum hasn't been shut down yet. 

     

    I'm pretty confident that this is the result of incompetence.  I don't believe for a second that this was their plan.  

     

    I've said it before and I'll say it again.  HAW HAW!!

    We all got punked. They aren’t shutting down the forum. The main site now has a link to the message boards.  I just tried it and it works. It takes me right to this forum.

     

    So, is everyone going to come back now?

     

    Could contain: Text, File, Person

    Explanation and apology or else get bent.  Are we supposed to wait for the next time they want to "control the message"? 

    If they keep the site running it's in order to save face after finding out that their little plan did nothing.

    This bites, kinda had a feeling something was up when i clicked fans section and no message board :P so made a post here ^.^ , guess ill have to register on that other canucksforum, and start at zero posts (ie start over) haha, but atleast theres a place we can read and chat in atleast.

    Will miss this place, its become a place i read daily

    The crew over there has worked pretty hard to update peoples profiles (for those who provide a screenshot in the appropriate thread) with their info from this site.  So you do not have to start over!

    There's probably a lot of others that aren't aware of this.

    I've been a here lurking and getting my news here since 2003 when i moved to Chicago! Back then it was the hockey armpit of the world to me and nothing ever could change that opinion, even Stanley cups! These forums where a breath of fresh air and a taste of home! Going to miss all you guys and gals! Stay passionate about the things you love! Go Canucks Go!

     

    PS - look on the bright side! At least you don't have to lock your liquor cabinet anymore because of Alf! :)

     

    It seems like it but next thing you know @Alflives is creeping around https://www.forumcanucks.com/

     

    Then you’re swatting him with your broom all over again.

    Interesting

     

    This is spreading

    And fancy that. 

     

    And from time to time, senior executives of the team would push to shut down the message boards, often because they’d come across a thread critical of the team, but the team’s digital staff always pushed back, saying that the community it provided, shown in the high number of page views

    Please share this on the new site!

     

    I would do it but I do not want to steal your thunder!

    You know, I was thinking that too! I've been laid off three times in my working life. When being laid off / when things come to an end, it's great to reflect and look forward to great opportunities. It's like when one door closes, many doors open up!

     

    There's a great board pinned at the top of the page! 

    Glad you made it over!  We need some Seattle representation!

    Even if you have to bring that Habs nonsense with you. :bigblush:

    The legend Tom Larscheid got fired after 30 years or whatever for criticizing the team...by a GM who was shortly fired thereafter himself.  Controlling the message should be an obsession for the likes of Stalin and Pol Pot...not hockey teams.

    Always thought that was wild.  Tom Larscheid was the biggest fan around.  Nobody loved the team more than him.  But they found HIM to critical?  Lol they must have REALLY wanted some fluff.

    This is dumb. Why?!?

    I’m sure we’ll see some gimmicky trash unveiled shortly.  I expect to hear the words “fan engagement” a lot.

    I think I’ll stock up on gravol ahead of time.  It’s going to be nauseating.

    I am not sure we can afford another high end top 4 D. 
    Pettey is going to get paid big time and we will need to pay Hronek. 
    OEL penalty kicks in 2 years for a couple more years before becoming manageable. 
    There is a reason we only signed one player for more than 2 years this off-season. 
    Our D would potentially be one of the better setups in the league with good size and puck moving with him but this is a pipe dream. 
    Though never say never with trader Jim around.
