    They didn’t like the criticism ?  If the majority of people see something that’s amiss, and the powers that be can’t handle that reality, and decide to cancel it all together, then it further makes them look even stupider notwithstanding the very first issue that doesn’t change from being stupid, in the first place. We are talking about suites in a boardroom that don’t quite understand that 99.999% of the posts made on CDC were actually positive about the organization. If the whole thing was cancelled to some negativity they read  then congratulations on your dumbass decision. But @-DLC- was bang on about worry more about the on ice product. Quit micro managing the off ice product. You can’t change reality , but you can certainly have a little more self awareness in your managment style though. 

    Don't wanna go deep on the analysis-bent..this crap's all emotional for us now. But it seems today integrity is out the window, & systems/narratives are more important to control. Individuals are usually pretty decent & honest. Organizations? Seems the larger they are, more likely they're compromised. From Hollyweird to a zombified, hollowed-out music industry, to over-F***ing-paid pro athletes..what is there of notable quality that you can enjoy MORE than generations past?

     

    So the middle-aged blokes like you & I eventually tire of the watered-down song & dance. We spend more times with loved ones, personal hobbies & organizing sock drawers. By this time, another gullible generation jumps into the fray, with new cars, sweet dates, big aspirations & all that usual nonsense. TPTB target that group(THEY $pend more), & shuffle the older fans to the F***ing periphery.

    The fact that this management group can't figure out how to turn the forum into a profit center for the team is beyond belief. I've been creating online sales, lead generation and business for 25 years and I know multi-million dollar corporations who would KILL to have a direct path to engage their consumers at the level this forum affords the team.

     

    This decision shows a complete lack of imagination and understanding of how 21st century business works.

     

    Whoever made this decision, needs to be fired as they don't understanding running an organization past the 80's.

     

    I don't visit Canucks.com, I come to https://forums.canucks.com and see what's happening.

     

    From Forums, I can engage with all of you and I can choose to go to other parts of the Canucks.com site, including ticket sales and the NHL shop which is how they generate revenue.

     

    I can access all other parts of the site from here, but the number of times I've just gone to Canucks.com in the last 5 years, I can probably count on one hand and it's probably similar for a lot of you. This is our central access to the team, the place where we rally from and talk and network as a group and a community, but this group doesn't understand that concept for one simple reason.

     

    THEY CHOOSE NOT TO ENGAGE THEIR FANS WHERE THEY LIVE!

     

    They shouldn't be shutting this down, they should be starting a section in here called GM's corner, where Allvin posts a video once a month, answering some prescreened questions posed there by fans. THAT IS ENGAGEMENT.

     

    They should be running promotions directly to their fans, special opportunities that aren't available anywhere else. THAT IS ENGAGEMENT.

     

    A part of a businesses 21st century valuation is how many people are visiting their site, their overall traffic count, page views etc. They just did a lot to undermine that, someone needs to make Aqualini aware of that concept and how it will, even at a low level devalue his asset.

     

     

    I don't know a damned thing about tech(proud dinosaur), but your agreeable opening paras are just more proof, IMHO

     

    This change was imposed upon the owners. Mandate from League Hindquarters. Otherwise appears they're killin the golden goose, for no good reason.

    The Makavelli short vid exposing league dbl standards for 'dem Broongoons. It was so well done.

     

    Saniel Dedin often made me laugh..that was long ago. Crazy b*gger was one of a kind.

     

    Personally had battled the blues for a long period. This place was ideal to take one's mind away from matters one couldn't sort out. Thank you to any/all, who kept it interesting, informative, kind, joyful & civil.

    I always enjoyed making posters laugh (at least that’s what I heard in my mind) and taking hockey and a host of other things. This has been a shining example of what an online forum can be.

     

    Peace to you all. 

    Oft executed with precision, PB. All the best to you.
