I'd imagine we write more than 50% of the media driven material here. I really miss real journalism. There’s only one IMac unfortunately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The simplest explanation is uaully the correct one. Doubt a message board is too much work. If you have ppl running a website, the message board isnt going to cost much more if at all.

EddieVedder Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Knowing that family, they cant handle personal criticism. FA himself is a very thin skinned individual. Im sure theres going to be a lot of family chaos ensuing soon and he will want to mitigate as much as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of teams don't have forums or have closed their forums ages ago. The NHL wasn't the one that forced those teams to close their forums.

I would imagine it takes a fair bit of storage space but that's as cheap as borscht these days. 1 hour ago, EddieVedder said: Doubt a message board is too much work.

Personally I think FA got tired of people giving their opinions on how much we've sucked the past decade. This site certainly doesn't make any money or provide an avenue towards getting more money. That would be my guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However all that matters in this market is that they are a successful team and the "fans" will spend. And now that we have our "new" forum, they are also saving on this cost as well while we maintain our community. So in the end, it's a smart business decision on their end? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reminds me of the Eddie Murphy Raw movie when he's talking about Johnny Carson and his wife getting divorced. He made a joke about how happy with a big smile Johnny looked in the paper one day when the caption read "Johnny worth 300 million". Next week Johnny was in the exact same pose but this time he had a huge frown and the caption read, Johnny getting divorced, wife wants half - 150 million. He then went on to talk about how his ex wasn't exactly doing 50% of the work in the relationship. Eddie was hypothetically asking, "so did his ex like get like a job cleaning on the weekends and she was all happily talking to Johnny each week saying "ok so here's my $75 ... now we have 300 million and 75 dollars. I want half. Anyways, saving $1800 a year doesn't seem like much of a big deal when they charge $47 for two hotdogs and two beers at a game to go along with $300 tickets.

This is the exact problem here. Instead of all these ideas, great feedback and arguments about players possible trades, prospects in the system, management, the team WERE owned by the Canucks, vetted by Canucks...... All our conversations will now be available to SportsNet, AKA Toronto friggin LEAVES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
