Bring Back Vintage Canuck Thread

[cuporbust]

Hey guys. Maybe if we create enough hype, vintage will return ? For those of you that don't know, he is one of the best content providers ( poster)  from the original CDC forums. His posts and threads were invaluable ( even though we went at it a couple time lol. 

 

Come Back VC!

He went down with the CDC ship but somtimes sailors get rescued from sunken ships

Maybe he's on the Canucks pay roll. If so the employer may not want V.C. to shift over here full time because that would put this forum on a new higher level. I think the folks here are doing an excellent job.

I think we've pretty much decided he's Chris Faber and yes, that would mean he's now on the Canucks payroll.

I can quite confidently confirm he is NOT Chris Faber.

 

Also, I am reluctant to pressure him as he provided a service that was relentless and required such dedication and commitment from him. He's taking some well deserved time "off" and I respect that.

 

He may, in fact, be on the payroll (I have no idea) and that's restricting what he can do here. It was a great run for him and maybe one day he'll find a way to devote the time and attention he used to here, to this place. It was likely a lot...he was on things on an immediate basis and that likely was a bit exhausting at times. No let down.

 

Cheers to VC...I'm super duper proud that I nominated him to be a mod way back when. He was just too good not to be. He's been an absolute gem and is missed, but is still here floating around and is part of the team. Hopefully he's on a nice inflatable pool flamingo in the sun with a cool drink in his hand. A hard act to follow and that's evident.

He is not Chris Faber. Some of us know the answer, but choose not to say. I have a feeling we will see him on trade deadline day and perhaps closer to the playoffs.

Trolling this topic, or true? If they said who the person was, they would get praised imo for all the work they did on said fan forum!

 

At the end of the day, Vintage was a paid employee my the Canucks from what I understand (I ain't S M R T) 

 

So, expecting Vintage to come here and do everything for free...NOT going to happen in today's insane economy, would you work for free full time...NOPE!

Not only that, it could be a conflict of interest that prevents him from it. They likely want the breaking news on their sites/SM.

Whomever he was, he was sure plugged in in a way that no one else seems to be.

Well, breaking news is just that for about 3.5 minutes if it relates to the Canucks as then at the 4 minute mark it becomes old news 

 

I do miss seeing VC posting interesting Canuck news about 5 minutes before Allvin releases it formally.

 

Hope he/she are all well and some day see them on this site. For now, excellent forum this be and who knows, maybe one day when I buy the Canucks VC can come out of the closet.

I doubt he could share any proprietary information regarding the Canucks ( if he’s an employee) even if he wanted to, free or not. 
Employers have extensive control over their staff’s presence and activity on the internet. Posting inside information anywhere online without authorization is easily a dismissible action. 
 

The Vancouver Canucks are not about to contribute to the very group of people they initially tried to vanquish. Hence VC is virtually silent here, only making the odd appearance without posting the usual information we all appreciated .

I'm quite sure that VC was on staff, but was part of the tragic mass layoffs during the covid-19 hockey shutdown. It's unclear if he ever returned in part capacity later, but I doubt he fully resumed the previous role. With the closing of the forum and moving on to other things, he just isn't around as much.

I'm sure he will be back for the playoffs though. He's got to be in the list of top Canuck fans of all time. Put him in the ring of honor - he's got my vote. 

Deb has a point. I'm not sure about conflict of interest. There might be a time clause of 1 year or something now that the forum is shut down. Honestly, I think he's just busy with other things. The most likely reason he was fast on reporting is because he is well connected to all the reporters, staff and insiders. I doubt that has changed.

Opening up this site day after day and not ever seeing any news being posted by vintage is kinda like coming home to an empty house after your dog died…

The forum has not shut down . Both CDC s and CFF are active although CDC has far less traffic than in its hay day.

Missing VK is sad....but this new forum is a lot more fun than the old one.

 

Hopefully he will return one day.

[fanfor42]

I think the answer is in his posts right around when the Canucks announced they were ending CDC.  That is where you can see the true VC reacting.

 

For me he was just an amazingly committed fan who lived and breathed the experience. When the Canucks pulled the rug out from under he took it personally and needed to take a break to assess WTF.

 

Anyway, my take. Good guy.

 

 

[IBatch]

At least we can honour him with goal emoji.   Vintage means a few things too...like well vintage.

seriously....wtf? 

What was the f'n point then?  Did someone get the wrong orders? Did they have second thoughts? Then why keep the same message there on top about it shutting down?   Do it already!  (or reopen it with apologies and free Canucks tickets to all former members)
