I was here during the peak of the WCE. Didn’t post a lot. Plus, I stopped coming here until 4 years ago before COVID. All Canucks and hockey news, I checked here. I’ve lived here in San Jose since 1990, so Canucks is the only thing that keeps me connected to Vancouver. I was disappointed in seeing the Sharks message boards like a ghost town for a long time. Bay Area isn’t really hockey crazy. Therefore, I was happy Canucks has a better foundation for their fan base. Twitter or X has limited text, so discussions aren’t in depth, but toxic fans keep insulting. I like the various sub folders. The prospects is great because I can read about these young players and when they became apart of the team. Trade proposals can be ridiculous, but I laugh every time someone suggests trading 1st round picks. The bickering here is more exciting than a 30 second Mike Tyson fight. Thank you all for making this a great place on the internet. Message boards are a dying breed and will fade away like instant messagers and chat rooms.

It's more than disappointing that none of the moderators are in a postion to comment on the reason for the shut-down. I don't get why it shouldn't be possible to provide some transparency. The statement that they want to focus on other social media channels sounds like more of an excuse. Having said this, I always were very pleased with the functionality of this forum. I mean all the features that this forum had to offer made it fun to be here. Will certainly miss the opportunity to talk about hockey on a forum like this. Have tried other forums like the RedWings forum, but these aren't as sophisticated as CDC. I've been becoming more of a basketball fan lately, so I will try to sign up on a NBA teams forum.

So...this is obviously a disappointment. The decision wasn't mine, but apologies for the timing, I know it's a bit awkward with the season so close. Like many of you, this forum has been a big part of my life. I've always used it as my source for news and discussion, and I've enjoyed the many many personalities that have been through. I also didn't enjoy a few, but even those battles will be remembered fondly.

 

As to why? I can't tell you that - but I think there is a focus on other social media channels now, and the forum hasn't been seeing a lot of growth.

 

There are of course some existing alternatives, but none of them have the same long-form format as we have here.

 

To try to support the existing community and provide a place where everyone can continue, or simply come together, I've booted up a new forum at https://www.forumcanucks.com/ (soon to likely be https://www.canucksfanforum.com). The structure mostly follows what is here to make moving over simple and easy, but of course it is open to suggestion and change. I'll keep it going as long as possible.

Lot of change in my life right now. This feels like a final straw haha 

 

don’t understand at all why this would be taken away. It can’t have a large cost to it for the Canucks and it’s a place for so many of us  to connect with fellow fans.

 

i have very few friends now irl who are fans like there are here and I’m pretty disappointed with this decision. 
 

it would be nice to have a proper explanation too but honestly I can’t imagine being able to accept it. 
 

big part of sports is nostalgia, we will lose the history of this board and all the discussion / quotes etc that comes with it a shame. 
 

@-SN-

 

pretty nice you’re stepping up to try and save the community. Appreciate that. I wish I knew who to direct my feelings at for closing our boards down though.
