came across this little item today..................

Army Discussion Forums
Forum de discussion de l'Armée is currently closed.

The Administrator has chosen to close
this forum with the following reason:
For forum discussion about the Canadian military, please visit Army.ca.

 
After a long and lingering illness, the forces forum passed away in it's sleep today..............  RIP
 
"Please Visit Army.Ca"?!

Sounds like official DND endorsement to me.

Good work Mike, army.ca has managed to drive the army out of the discussion forum market. A few more years of expansion and they might as well make you CDS.  :)
 
Holy crap.....what have we done?    :o

Mike....I'm scared.

Regards
 
We all know it's because of the "All Caps thread 2", any JTF-2 threads, and this one:
http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/45142.0.html

But seriously, I would like to know the reasoning behind the move and what seems to me a redirect from there to here. Also how will this affect Mr. Bobbitt's operation here.
 
I received a system closeout email.

Hello Everyone:

Thanks to all of the users who wrote back with their comments about the Army Forum. I've read them all, and it was very helpful.

Most of you indicated that Army.ca has taken the lead and is operating nicely. The success of Army.ca's forum simply precludes any need to host a forum here. Given the liabilities that are inherent to freedome of speach, the leadership of the Army simply cannot afford to offer the same liberties that Army.ca has to offer. In fact, it is doubtful that we will ever be able to provide that to you. We may offer a forum in the future in more of a support role for various groups, but I don't see an open forum here like the one that we use to enjoy.

That, and the fact that the forum program that we've been using is very unstable, I've reluctantly decided to close the forum indefinitely. If, for some reason, Army.ca closes, I will push the leadership to open a forum here.

I thank you all for your participation here, and for those very active members, I especially thank you for your years of help.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
 
to be honest,
I probably instigated the suggestion for them to refer inquiries here.  

The DND forum was quite active in it's 1st generation... but operated under rather naive management... It was the subject of several "negative" posts about the Gov't and the CF by some "crazies"..... and then it got Nuked by some hackers............. The Regular army decided that they wanted out but I managed to get someone to approve it's support under the LFRR initiative. Unfortunately(?), in it's diminished form AND with this forum developing into a power house, the LFRR forum never developed into much.

Thanks much to Jason for his work and efforts in trying to get it to work

Chimo!

(will raise a glass to him at the next 333)

Wow!  If we thought we had a lot of lurkers here before......

Let 'em come.....the more the merrier.    ;)

Army.ca will be a better place if those that were serious contributers to LFRR decide to join. Many good people had many excellent comments to offer about the CF.

Following recent trends to use those C/S's on this site, it would in all probably be his wife.  ;D

What's wrong with that thread?  :o

I thought the full range of alternatives were...cough...explored...in detail...too much detail....way to much detail.... ;D
 
I remember finding the previous forum, it was nice to be able to see what issues were affecting the average soldier. It was a good idea, but Army.ca fills it’s boots and a few others. Glad to hear the senior managenment comes through for a covert cruise, it's good be able to hear what people like and dislike when they think few are listening.
 
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!
