So you do not have to start over! There's probably a lot of others that aren't aware of this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stawns Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 18 hours ago, nuckin_futz said: This place is the messaging forum equivalent of the TV show "Cheers". "Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name". This place isn't a message board it's a community. Disbanding it because they don't like criticism is such a d*ck move. At times being a Canucks fan feels like being in an abusive relationship. This is one of those times. F U for closing OUR club down. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EP Phone Home Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 14 hours ago, EddieVedder said: Their excuse for shutting down the board still makes zero sense. I didnt see racism here. I saw posters calling out the slum lord owners, and upper management for terrible moves that made zero hockey sense. Thin skinned is an understatement. Would you be surprised coming from an owner who turned his comments off and is despised by his own city and fan base? So many scandals (berry farm workers, abuse on children, slumlord stories from contractors /residents) it’s all self inflicted on himself. Him and Benning thinking they knew best as GM and POHO as they told Trevor Linden and his rebuild to kick rocks as a retool will do also has polarized this fanbase as to which is the best path to go. I cancelled my season tickets last year because of the choices & direction that this team has chosen in the past 5-9 years. I don’t regret my decision and I will continue to have an undying love for this club but this owner can enjoy his toy and his vision (whatever that is) just not on my dime. You can piss us off and try and silence the fans Francisco, but you will never take OUR FANDOM!!! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, when the boys are winning, the GDT is a fun place to be. Where their brand gets a huge boost. The bubble playoffs when we were pounding St. Louis was a gas in the GDTs. Such a stupid business decision to alienate their most loyal fans 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Maybe the Canucks org doesn't want fans to complain, discuss conspiracies and plan actions when things go sideways (let's fly a plane with a banner, etc). Every complaint seems to be directed at the owners or the GMs or the coaches. A lot of hate gets spewed here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UMB Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 This is so upsetting :'( I'm not around much anymore but there was a time back in 2012-2015 where I was online almost 24/7. I was a lonely and depressed teenager with very few IRL friends. CDC offered me a safe haven - a place of comfort and companionship. I made tons of internet friends on this website, some of which I still talk to today :') Hearing about this news has made me feel incredibly nostalgic of those days. Thank you all for being such an important part of my childhood. CDC, you will be truly missed <3 Kai / UMB / UMADBRO? / Nathan MacKinnon / Agent P signing off for the last time :-) (and here's to one final ! ) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely the place to check out if you ever liked it here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-NucksFan Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 On 9/15/2023 at 10:38 PM, -SN- said: Alternative: https://www.forumcanucks.com 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. Thanks for setting up the new forum I would have been lost without joining our CDC group during games 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamer4GM Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Such a wholly unacceptable and scumbag move. Crushed to learn of this but will move to the alternative and hope the vibe and essence of what this place has been and meant to so many makes its way there with us all. This is all just so very much in line with how the relationship between management and fans has been for some time. So short-sighted and out of touch. Burns my butt Not to mention other similar things happening in our country of late (Bill C18 and the subsequent removal of news links from major social platforms, CoV redacting docs requested through FOI laws) with everyone having an 'explanation' but rarely any true transparency or anyone actually taking responsibility and giving anything back to the general public. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Just exchanged emails, no update yet, it's probably going to be next week before they get a chance to fully cover this off with the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
