We'd like to announce a change in our discussion guidelines that we believe will enhance the purpose and atmosphere of this board. We will no longer allow discussions on political or other controversial topics in this forum. Reasons for the Decision: Purpose and Vision: This message board was created with one goal in mind - to foster discussions around Blue Bomber football. We wish to keep the focus on that. Moderation Overload: Our moderator team, who generously donate their time, have found themselves spending an overwhelming amount of effort on moderating political and related discussions. Civilized Debate: As societal topics have become more polarized, it has been observed that discussions easily derail into emotional arguments. Keeping the forum conducive to healthy debate has been challenging. We encourage those interested in engaging in these debates to seek out specialized forums that cater to those topics. We understand that some of you might have strong feelings about this change. However, the decision is final. This announcement will be locked for further comments. If you have serious concerns, my PMs are open. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Let's keep our passion for Blue Bomber football alive and strong! The Moderator Team

Didn't like Proulx when he first became a head referee, but IMO he has morphed into the best head ref the league has.

Not pissed, just very confused from a thread that appeared to me to already have run its course.

If you want to put it to rest why the **** would you post in it when there has been one post in two months.. Apparently you still want to talk about this.

Not every day you get to throw 6 TDs in a game

Depending which source, the overall average car cost is also listed anywhere from 55 - 65k. The higher end skews things. Like most evolutions in cars, they start in the high end models and as the technology becomes cheaper and mass produced, they come down to lower end cars. Here is an interesting article on EV pricing and cheaper electric vehicles coming. Once you can get them around $30k Canadian with decent range (right now the cheaper models have reduced range), I think you will see them become more affordable to a larger percentage of the population.

But he has also claimed he will balance the budget in their first term. Would have to hope inflation subsides to put the tax back, otherwise that's an extra couple hundred million to balance.

People will be able to vote for more than one with how this was setup. Switched it to one selection unless you really wanted people to be able to vote for more than one.

Pulp fiction because the closing scene is actually continuing the opening scene.

Bring back these!

I don't know, why?

Fingers crossed this may now be resolved. In terms of cpu and disk usage, everything has been back to normal levels for the last 6 or 7 hours. If this lasts through the day, I'd say we are good.

Edmonton can't fire Jones without being severely hampered due to the Operations cap. This is probably the only change they can make so they have the appearance of doing something for the fans and attendance. If this is the reason for this, very unfortunate for Cui who gets handcuffed with a coach and GM he didn't hire and couldn't fire. Not sure the operations cap is the best thing for the league. Have to think that without it, Jones would have been fired long ago. Imagine if we couldn't fire Joe Mack and Tim Burke because we didn't want to be hampered by the operations cap for the next couple of seasons.

Yeah, feel like I need to invest in one of these to keep rebooting the site

It's not fixed. It will slow down again. Should get more technical help tomorrow. Have shut off everything and really narrowed this down to the forum software itself. Will see what their support says on Monday.

I've been trying to dig into it off and on today. Which has meant many restarts, which only fixes the problem temporarily.

It is still up and down.
