How is everyone doing with this latest storm?

I never saw it coming. I hope the survivors have enough supplies.

Hopefully the next world-wide flood does not wipe-out all of us.

Seeing as there has never been one....or did you think Costner's Waterworld was a documentary?

Yes. I thought it was a documentary.

We are much diminished by having Chuckles return. The block function is your friend, friends!

To troll people. He feeds on it. Leave him alone, then he starves. Then he'll go back to being an unabashed racist to get attention, and get permabanned.

I can't imagine what Maple Leaf Web is like, if they made him a Moderator.

B.C. floods could be one of the costliest disasters in Canadian history

He does seem to have one redeeming factor, though. One thing everybody else here seems to agree on, no matter what they've argued about in the past, is that they all hate his guts.

Good opportunity to deny him what he's craving. Hate is too strong a word to describe him. He's merely very boring, like a driver fucking around with their cell phone at a green light. Maybe he's related to Forshner. Or he's Gerry Hurt's retarded younger brother, continuing the family tradition of internet shitheelery perfected ages ago on Telus's MyBC and Malcolm's place. Christ, those five or six years after Sept 11 were wild & insane on Canadian internet forums. [/BlastFromThePast]

How many Canadian Internet forums are even left besides this one, Maple Leaf Web and the ones on Reddit?

Nope. Just us.

What was "Malcolm's Place", as Thanos referred to it?

No idea. I assume it's one of the many bulletin boards that turned message boards when the WWW was invented, then disappeared when people got a look at the nerd who built it.

Good news. Highway 1 through the Fraser Canyon is open again. Albeit, in a temporary form. Crazy picture though. That gully wasn't there before the rains.

There were the original Telus forums before telecoms realized (early) what a shitshow and liability it was to give voice to the unwashed masses and said "Shut 'er down, boys." One of the Telus Forum denizens, Malcolm, then built his own forum, and there was a general migration over to there. Malcolm was big on free speech, so we had full on Holocaust deniers sucking up all the oxygen in the room. Around that time we discovered CKA so we left the mouth breathers to scream their Jabberwocky and headed here. The site shut down a short while later.

Back then, we had CKA Radio on every morning, and it was an extremely active site. There was a great Purge at some point and a bunch of members deemed troublemakers were summarily booted from the site, which caused a lot of friction at the time. Then, of course, the advent of social media which killed forums all over the place.

Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk.

That is good news!
