I'd imagine we write more than 50% of the media driven material here. I really miss real journalism. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bure2Win Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Guess they couldn't take the criticism on the team, either that or they don't want people to lose their sh@t when they start the season with Myers still on the team?.......SIGH Sad day folks........ 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 A sincere go f**k yourself to Rogers for cheaping out and not paying for a forum. Gotta save a buck somewhere, right fellas? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bure2Win Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 At times, senior team executives would push to shut down the message boards 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, brought the team far more overall value, added Ryan Nicholas, who worked alongside Kinghorn and Ribble from 2013 to 2020. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxVerstappen33 Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 6 hours ago, EddieVedder said: Yea makes no sense. What happened was FA came on here and didn't like seeing what the critics thought of the team, his personal business dealings, and family drama. All of that exists on all forms of media, from newspapers to comment sections to Twitter to Facebook to radio show call-ins. Some of which he owns as well. So why would he target one obscure medium in the internet forum? Plus this forum has never been a big free for all on Aquilini slander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zfetch Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 what happened was NHL restructuring of their website, want to add more modern features like the stats overhaul they have been doing, server costs are going up and they have likely been instructed to cut costs, fair chunk of traffic is here and likely substantial size due to all the posts and media still on this forum, CDC cut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The simplest explanation is uaully the correct one. That makes literally no sense. The costs of hosting the official website exist regardless if there's an early 2000's era forum attached to it or not. Plus it was run by voulenteers. And it also makes no sense that it was shut down because of Aquilini slander. That will exist regardless. As we see with the cloned forum. Only logical explanation is legal Edited September 17 by MaxVerstappen33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
