RIP forces.gc.ca/forum/forum (Army Discussion Forums)

[George Wallace]

In the end, the CF forum screwed the pooch by not creating a web of moderators, AND empowering the same said web of moderators.

I could go on about this Ad nauseum.... but, it's done!

I believe they did have a web of moderators (many of whom frequent this site.), but they were in some cases hobbled by the use of "Rank".

In the words of George Orwell, "Some animals were more equal than others."

( George.... I was one of em.... no walk in the park - at times felt like Chicken Little.
rank had nothing to do with it)

Yes it is and before it has to go to "Radio Chatter" also, I think I will lock it up.
If anyone has anything significant to add just PM a Mod.

the server is back up but am not certain on what's up.
will have a chat with the sysop Monday morning to find out wassup.....

I know the powers that be were afraid of the potential PR liability the Forum could become - without proper moderation and supervision.  It's only with the support of the LFRR MGen's support that I managed to get the forum back (after hacker attack).

Will keep ya informed.

LFRR Forum is out of business again. It seems that the right hand don't know what the left hand is doing??????

What's wrong with that thread? 

I thought the full range of alternatives were...cough...explored...in detail...too much detail....way to much detail.... ;D

Indeed GAP...indeed...it was very creative to boot

further to my queery at the puzzle palace I got the following message:
"I don’t know how the site got put back online, but no… we didn’t reactivate it. You would have been informed of a reactivation before I did so."

will kep army.ca informed as things develop (can't use the term progress, can I?)
