VegasCanuck Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 13 minutes ago, 6of1_halfdozenofother said: Thanks for putting in the effort. The whole "racism" thing though walks like fluff and talks like fluff. I'm really not convinced that I'll be buying what they'll try to be selling to you. Completely with you on that. My objective is a couple of things. #1. If we can get them to walk this back, awesome, things remain as normal, but now that I have some direct contact with the team, hopefully we can improve communication and get resources to actually start building membership back up. #2. If they really want to follow through and cut this off, then maybe we can still find a way to get some support / funding for this operating in exile as the new system shouldn't fall completely on @-SN- to bankroll. This platform can get expensive on a yearly basis, up over $6,000 per year, which also boggles me, this system isn't rocket science, shouldn't cost that much as a license. At the end of the day, we want them to start engaging and stop treating the forum as the ugly stepchild. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 5 minutes ago, 6of1_halfdozenofother said: I'm not sure the first objective is reachable, since it seems they've been hovering their hand over the kill switch for a long time - even if they do walk this back, I don't think they'll let it continue for that much longer. However, I truly and sincerely hope you're successful with the second objective. I've had stuff walked back before by some really large companies. This decision wasn't made at the very top, if they can be made to understand that there's a bigger picture here, then they can reverse course. The idea that in past we've have over 5500 fans online at one time shows what can be done and what can happen. The fact that everything got to the stage that they felt it was a good idea to just shut this down is a direct reflection of failures within the Canucks organization, on the ice, within the rebuild and in their past leadership within Canuck marketing teams. Quitting on the fans is not a good way to project a strong future or communicate that the team has turned a corner and is ready to get things done throughout the organization. For the people who have enjoyed this forum over the years, they ARE quitting on us! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taphouse Canuck Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 (edited) This is horrible news,just as I was looking forward to the start of the season. So from now on there will only be the official Canucks management viewpoint put forward on their website. I guess that is their prerogative, but it smacks of the censorship that is pervading the internet now. I will miss reading other fans' opinions and the gameday banter that went on before, during and after the game. Where do we go now, Reddit?

Popular Post VegasCanuck Posted September 20 Popular Post Share Posted September 20 Just as another note, if you want to share your opinion on their move to shut down this board and the fact that they are quitting on a passionate group of fans instead of looking to fix what's wrong, I've already shared earlier in the thread, all the email addresses. They are taking notice of direct communication, my only thoughts and requests would be, deliver the message but keep it positive and respectful because at the end of the day, that's what's going to get results. Regardless of the outcome, the core objective of what I'm doing is to get them to start to engage whether its forum.canucks.com or forumcanucks.com. We can grow either board far more effectively with their cooperation and potentially, access to some of their resources. I have a direct and positive dialog going with their Chief Revenue Officer as well as the President of Canucks Business Operations, so let me just continue that communication stream as I don't think harassing those 2 are going to get us much further. Others who should be hearing more opinions on this are listed below. How many fans here are willing to send them a direct email and tell them that this decision SUCKS without directly offending them? You want to prove to someone that you're alive, breath in their face! Tell them that you think they're quitting on the forum instead of fixing the issues and lack of engagement. Without passionate fans, ALL of these people are looking for other jobs. The decision to shut this down is a direct reflection of failures within the Canucks organization, nothing more, nothing less. Drop them a line!

At the end of the day, we want them to start engaging and stop treating the forum as the ugly stepchild. VegasCanuck, with all due respect, why are you doing this? I don't mean any disrespect, and you quite obviously have been a member of these boards far, far longer than I've been. Even though I'm a long time lurker, I only recently signed up. In fact, I signed up just shortly before they announced they were shutting it down. But seriously, the feeling I get from the new forum is that people are wanting to move on and don't want to save the old CDC. And I thought from your response to my posting on the new forum that you were in agreement??? I actually came back on this old forum by mistake and then I saw your postings and was surprised. But because I only posted it on the new forum and not here, I'll cut and paste what I posted yesterday on the new forum. It went as follows: I was a long time lurker on CDC and only just recently signed up. Shortly after I signed up, they shut it down. My point is that I have very few posts and probably won't post much in the future on the new site, but I have been following CDC for years. And while I think the intentions are well intended @VegasCanuck, and appreciate the efforts, I think it would be a mistake to go back to the old forum that is controlled by the Canucks. First off, we have almost the same forum in the new home (thanks so much @Ribs). Secondly, we basically control it ourselves. But the biggest reason I have for not wanting the old forum back, is what if they do rescind their decision, and everyone goes back, and then sometime down the road they decide to shut it down again, this time with no notice? Then the community really is lost. At least this time everyone has two weeks notice. With the work @Ribs has done, and the migration that's taking place, my suggestion is to run with it. This time there is a pretty good chance that the Community stays together. If they ever decided to shut it down without any notice, it would be very difficult to rebuild. There's an old saying "Fool me once, shame on you - fool me twice, shame on me". In my view, they've fooled us all once. Why give them a chance to fool us a second time? So that's what I posted yesterday on the new forum. And looking back, maybe I misread your response in that I thought you were no longer going to pursue trying to have the Canuck organization rescind their closure notice. Because if you continue to pursue this and if by some chance / miracle they agree, then it's going to be a real cluster you know what. Because I don't think the majority of folks on the new site want to come back. So the net efforts of pursuing this could well be splitting the community you are trying to save. You want to build closer ties to the organization I say that's fine and that's up to you. But I think it is a dangerous road to pursue to try and get the closure rescinded. I've never been much into conspiracy theories, but if I was the Canuck organization, and I wanted to kill the CDC, and also saw how quickly the new site is growing, then I would absolutely agree to stop the closure. I'd then leave it run for maybe a year or so and then shut it down with no notice. And I have to say again I am sincere when I say I don't mean any disrespect. But I think you are playing with fire. There's a pretty cool thing happening over at the new site and my impression is that most are enjoying it and embracing it. I say leave well enough alone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
