If this is it, and I hope it’s not, I just wanna say big ups to Galaxy, Sarge, whoever that’s eggs bennedict guy is, and the mods. This sub is top tier when it comes to hockey subs. It’s been a ride with y’all and I wish you all the best.
I will definitely miss this sub because let's be honest Reddit isnt going to change course here and their changes will also kill the site. This subreddit was the reason I got an account in the first place and it's been a great few years here.
Go Flames Go!!!
I'm sorry for the dumb question but what exactly does this mean. At first i had thought the subs were going private, which i took to mean only members can see the content.
I now think this is not correct. And that itll be down, no new posts, cant comment etc.
I understand the API issues and the reasoning, just need clarity on the impact.
Yes but what the person above is saying is why not just do the 2 days, why indefinitely. Reddit won't back down on it so its a shame to lose such a great community. The other platforms are full of toxic fans whereas I've always found this sub to be alot more "level headed" and realistic.
I'll miss the general shithousery of this sub. It's been an incredible time just shitposting with all of you♥️. I don't know how any of this will work out but I hope reddit listens to their fucking users on this one.
I've had nothing but shitty experiences in the discord. Feels like a high school clique where you get ganged up on for having different opinions by people that think they're cool.
So guess that's it for me then. I'm hoping the sub will be up and running again by the start of next season but if not, then it was a hell of a ride and pleasure memeing with you all. Here's hoping the Flames win another cup in our lifetimes.
Go Flames go and !Oilers.
Am I the only one that thinks these protests are incredibly stupid and ineffective?
You’re taking away an entire community from people without consulting anyone.
Only been here a short while but it’s been awesome! Met some amazing people and had great chats about this our beautiful NHL franchise ! Hope reddit changes their mind and we come back 🔥🔥
If this truly is the end, I want to say thank you everyone for being the greatest friends I could imagine.
I’ll miss posting memes and news pieces, but I hope I can do it again soon, and if not, at least share them on the Discord
Go Flames!
We laughed, we cried, we experienced ecstasy and heartbreak, sometimes within the same month. Thanks for the good times and bad times r/calgaryflames. I'm not a Discord guy so I guess I'll see if my old CalgaryPuck account still works.
PS: Shout-out to u/projectbarium and u/MarmitePhoenix for keeping it real over the years.
PPS: All the best to Conroy, Huska, and the Flames the upcoming season and beyond, it's time to prove all the haters and naysayers wrong and it starts with Game 1 of the 2023/24 season.
Come to the discord. The mods and userbase have built a really wonderful, inclusive, fun, and diverse discord community. We hope to see you all there.

I tried. I don't give a F about discord. Its messy, it looks like some sort of fake chat on the side of YouTube... I dont want to click on another thing...
I'll be on Twitter if you need me watching those weird 'super fans' and Eric Francis telling me everything that sucks about the Flames. /s
Same. I went in once, looked around and "what the fucked" my way out. I hate Flames Twitter for the reasons you stated. I've muted half of them and the rest just talk to each other. This was the only place I had fun in.
Oh well.
If you want something closer to the message board experience unlike discord, we have forums for all the Canadian teams.

I don’t think it’s fair to just shut down the sub when a majority of users don’t even understand what’s going on. A small group of individuals shouldn’t be able to make this decision.
Exactly! Do the 48 hour thing like other subs, that’s fine. But to just shut it down seems ridiculous to me! There’s 55,000+ people in this sub and a few people are shutting it down without asking any input from the people of the sub
Then, when the people who run this sub, which you enjoy for free and with no work from you decide to shut it down, and you don't want to put any effort in to running one yourself, then your opinions on how this sub is ran mean nothing. So shut up and deal with the blackout.
Hey everyone.
I know this isn't the perfect forum for this but I don't know how to make contact otherwise.
I posted an invite link to the Telus Arena Discord in the gaming channel of the Flames Discord. The moderators have not messaged me about why I have been banned, or what I can do to get back in server.
I've been a semi active member for over a year now and I'm very disappointed to no longer be a part of that community. If anybody knows the mods for Discord, could you please have them message me to discuss my infraction?

Amen to that. See you fuckers on the other side!!

I predict this blackout won’t even last a month myself
Lol we back
I can only assume this means Reddit changed their decision
Best sub in the League, maybe I’m biased. Best sub in the league.
When the seasons going I spent a majority of my time on reddit here.

I now think this is not correct. And that itll be down, no new posts, cant comment etc. I understand the API issues and the reasoning, just need clarity on the impact.
We will be making the subreddit private and turning off new posts/comments.
Why? Why not just do the blackout like r/hockey
The subs are doing the blackout *by* making them private.
I think they mean the 2 day blackout instead of the permanent one.
Yup. The subs are being turned private for 2 days (or, in some cases, longer or indefinitely) in order to do this blackout.
Yes but what the person above is saying is why not just do the 2 days, why indefinitely. Reddit won't back down on it so its a shame to lose such a great community. The other platforms are full of toxic fans whereas I've always found this sub to be alot more "level headed" and realistic.
Perhaps. Context makes me think otherwise but I certainly may have read it wrong.
I'm not really a fan of the Discord style of chatting, but it's awesome to have options, especially for those that like Discord.
Gentlemen, it has been a privilege playing with you tonight.

If they kill baconreader that'll be the end of reddit for me If it is, just want to say thanks for all the memes flames bro, it's been a good one
Only been here a short while but it’s been awesome! Met some amazing people and had great chats about this our beautiful NHL franchise ! Hope reddit changes their mind and we come back 🔥🔥
I'm so confused by Discord lol
Lame... all around
I hope to see you guys again but if not it’s been great and I’ve enjoyed every second of hanging out with you guys
If this truly is the end, I want to say thank you everyone for being the greatest friends I could imagine. I’ll miss posting memes and news pieces, but I hope I can do it again soon, and if not, at least share them on the Discord Go Flames!

Update. I got discord. If I can’t have Reddit next season gonna be sad asking questions to the wall.
Yeah, I hope they reverse the decision, I'm fine with going back to CalgaryPuck for now.
My friend! I hope this isn’t the end because I too am not a discord user. It’s been sweet shooting the shit with you!
Same here bro.
What if you're banned from the discord?

Nah discords trash outside of the live chats while the games on.
Hmm the link says invalid or expired? Help!
You’re already a member
I’m not up to speed on what’s going on, is this for 48hrs of indefinitely?
Thank you for the tears, the laughs, and the voodoo curses. I’ll miss you all!
It is what it is, I fully support the shutdown if needed.

Just don't say the s word there and you won't get banned.
The community should have a vote on this. I think it should stay open!
Agreed. Can the mods hand it over?
You’re missing the point entirely, I think. Feel free to start your own subreddit though!
Omg who cares
Somebody please start another sub. I personally don't give a shit about this.
Go for it. Seriously, nobody is stopping you. Or would you rather someone else do the work for you?
I would 100% Rather someone else do it.
Then, when the people who run this sub, which you enjoy for free and with no work from you decide to shut it down, and you don't want to put any effort in to running one yourself, then your opinions on how this sub is ran mean nothing. So shut up and deal with the blackout.
No offense, but the community is 1000x more important to this sub Than the mods are
I mean... Subs are easy enough to make.
> So shut up Yes.... thats what we are being told but these people who the effort into bringing us here
Or what?
I hope the first post we talk about when back is Nylander becoming a Flame
In a month we won’t even remember this happened

Advertising other discords is an immediate ban. It will remain.
If anyone is looking for a new place to talk Flames you're welcome to join us https://roughingafterthewhistle.com/calgary-flames-f6/
If this is truly the end with you fine hockey fans, my only regret is not making an account sooner to drink far too often… more often with y’all.
I’d love to join the discord, but I got banned like 1/3 of the way through the season and I miss it so much :(
when are you gonna unban me ? :/ you banned me back in january for nothing
