Did quick search on who else might have a CFL feed. CBC does. Curiously, CFL.ca doesn't seem to have an RSS feed.

It really depends on what people want to and don't want to see in there. It basically takes an RSS feed and converts it to posts in the forum. To only get Bomber or CFL news from a news site, they would have to have a designated feed for just that sport or team (Free Press and Sun provide this which is why they were the only two added when I first set it up). In TSN's case, they currently only have 1 feed. So if I add it, all of their articles come in (which if people would want / like , I can do it). Their website does mention this: We are currently working on more RSS feeds, and will eventually have sport-by-sport RSS feeds in the future. For the metro, same thing. Their current RSS feeds are separated by: News Canada World Calgary Edmonton Halifax Ottawa Toronto Vancouver Winnipeg Sections Views Entertainment Food Health Money Drive Sports Your Home Horoscopes Features Crossword and Sudoku Answers So it would either be all Winnipeg news or all Sports news (I'm guessing the sports would be for all cities) Alternatively (and this would take a little more investigation to know for sure), I think I could get rid of the News Forum all together and collate everything into a true RSS feed similar to the Twitter feed. We'd have to figure out positionally where it would make most sense to have on the website.

Ehlers can still be sent down for a conditioning stint even though he has junior eligibility. But it would have to be a legitimate reason, not just because he isn't playing well. It would have to be because he is coming back from an injury or something along those lines. In 2008, Bogosian (in his rookie year with junior eligibility), he was sent down for conditioning after a broken leg.

I'm all good with the discussion here on this. I don't take it personally at all. I'd rather have more people chime in with their thoughts. I'm not even 100% in favour of keeping it. I just play devils advocate and ask questions from a different point of view. I still don't understand how it is wasted space, it doesn't hurt anything by being there. If you don't like it don't use it. Some people don't ever read General. Should I get rid of that too? I don't think it degrades your experience of the website by being there. And there are people who still use it And to discussion. I don't think it was ever meant to have discussion. Just a one stop place to get daily CFL news articles. I for sure use it a lot less with the FP pay wall but the Sun articles are still valid. It also lets people know what is happening in CFL news even by just article titles. I'm also hopeful at some point the FP reverses their stance on this Twitter doesn't replace it because you have to be reading the timeline at the right time before the tweet about it gets buried.

Not saying there isn't merit to shutting it down, but I am curious what you think we would be able to add there that we don't have now? It isn't like there is mutually exclusive space on the forums. If there is something useful you think we can add, we can add it regardless of whether the news feed is there or not. My basic thoughts on this are that it hurts no one to have it there. If you don't like it, don't use it. Unless it really annoys a majority of members to see the articles and not be able to read them, what does it hurt?

It does happen with the @ symbol but you should just be able to type and space away from it if you aren't selecting a member. I can't get it to happen with #

Here are the full details

It has happened all too often this year where the Jets control the play but don't take advantage by actually scoring. Their opponents hang around and hang around until the are able to score and take the lead.

According to Damien Cox he did. Not sure how accurate that is though. This is the first it has ever been said and Lawless has said he never heard of those rumblings.

I still see occasional drops of my session and have to re-login. This one is still on my watch list.

i·ro·ny a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result.

If you are reading this then you've made it over to the new server. It looks like everything migrated correctly and is running. Still a few tweaks and optimizations I need to make, but it shouldn't affect anything. Let me know if you see or experience any issues.

Michigan vs. Michigan State on TSN right now. Half way through the 2nd. Michigan is up 7 - 2. Kyle Connor has 2 goals so far.

www.asmallorange.com who were really good for the first while, but its been declining steadily. Been doing a lot of research since Christmas. The website was down so couldn't do much but plan on where I was going next. They were bought out by a company called EIG in 2010. ASO's CEO stayed on for a while though. Since he has left, they've been declining. Seems EIG has a reputation of buying smaller hosting companies with good reputations and stripping them down over time. They also own BlueHost, HostGator, NetFirms, and 30 - 50 other companies. http://researchasahobby.com/full-list-eig-hosting-companies-brands/ . Big player in the hosting game. They aren't real public about who they own, but from what I've seen they get a fair amount of complaints. Lookup asmallorange VPS outage december 2015 on google and you will find many complaints on the 5 day outage over Christmas. People who actually make their living over their websites or make their livelihood managing / re-selling websites for other people had a lot more to complain about then me. Even if they offered re-imbursement for the downtime, which they haven't, it wouldn't make up for lost revenue and reputation. The worst part is I prepaid for a year because it gets you 20% off the cost. Paid up till mid-May, so walking away from 4 months of paid hosting time. No choice though. Can't keep dealing with these glitches.

Arctic Ice takes a look at the Jets prospects that are currently in the NCAA. http://www.arcticicehockey.com/2016/1/8/10727542/jets-ncaa-prospect-update A couple of highlights, but I encourage you to give the whole article a read.

If you prorate out their current win / loss record at home and on the road for the rest of the season (they've been .647 at home and a horrible .333 on the road) it gets you to 40-36-6 or 86 points.

Last evening the website was down again. Apparently we had another hiccup with the hosting provider at the same time as the site was rebuilding its cache which corrupted it. I've been prepping the site on a new host and will be migrating over to it tonight. Getting real tired of these outages. Once the site is down and migrated, it may take up to 24 hours (it will likely be a lot less) for the internet to update itself and point to the new server.

If you are looking strictly as points... Tyson Barrie (28 points) vs. Buff 23 points) Then you take Wheeler (40 points) over Duchene (34 points)

Maybe Philly is clearing space to trade for Buff.

All the off field promotions, game day experience, etc, all fall to him to oversee. Part of his job is also to hire the right people to improve the team. As CEO, he does the hiring and firing of the GM. So if the GM is doing a bad job, he made a poor hiring choice. Typically A CEO (and a GM) will get a couple of cracks at hiring the right person if things don't turn out right away unless they are doing an absolute awful job in other areas as well, Walters was his first hire. If next season is a disaster, O'Shea will go for sure. Then Wade has to decide if Walters gets a 2nd chance at hiring a head coach. If Walters is also fired, I believe Wade will get at least another shot at hiring a new GM. If the Bombers are a non play-off team next year with a sub .500 record and Wade decides to keep Walters, it will be interesting to see what the board will do.
