Well done setting up so quickly. Just shows what can be done when the right people get involved.
I'm not so sure the directors would have a massive input to this decision. I don't think they could care less what's being said on a forum, maybe those who claimed to have such a close relationship with them can ask on Sat.
Surely the directors would be led by those responsible for the Flyers online presence. I feel, as has been proved in the past, that is where criticism is not allowed to be directed.

Thinking about it, I should have totally taken this opportunity to totally p**s someone off and use their forum name before they had the chance to register! Hahahaha

Whilst the Directors are taking most of the flak for the closure of the forum the post actually says
"Following a meeting this evening with the directors of the Flyers, coaching staff and other back-room members, the topic of the Flyers forum was brought to discussion"
To me that means everyone at the club was in on the decision to close the forum down, dare I say even "Alan"
No I hear you say not "Alan", not "Alan" our saviour, the one the only "Alan".

Or is that just twisted words to cover the backs of the directors?

Not clear why coaching staff would want it closed down, as there has been very little negativity about players, and it is in their interests to get a couple of imports which would boost the squad - though this may have implications for the ice time of certain favoured 'sons'.

New forum already has over 50 members, that's more than 10% of the old one. Cracking start but keeping this going wont be easy, we'll all need to post a little more than usual to keep the traffic up and build from there.

Unfortunately, even back in the 80's the club has been run for the benefit of the Directors and the inner circle, this will never change. To state the old forum was closed down "due to negative comments", by fans who only want what is best for the club (Pam did say later the directors made the decision) beggars belief. A simple "due to social media policy by the EIHL we can no longer officially support the forum" and turn it over to fans control, would have saved them so much bad feeling. Huge Ego's prevail.

That doesn't surprise me Allan, the Director has shown his hand here and proved that the Forum got his ear, its a very sad day that they alienate themselves from Forum members who show with their comments how much they are hurting at the way the club is run, hot potato not making money, aye and the band played as you like it tae, if that was the case it would have been ditched many years ago, funny it feels like open season on the ones that closed the fans line of communication and yet i still feel a bit of holding back, perhaps that will change and some real bullets will fly later. lol.
