Eagles Board Closure?

[CatsFan]

Going through the boards, I noticed that your board is less busy then some of the others. Excluding Lewiston of course. Is the original Eagles board going to be closing down?

As far as I know that is the plan... if this board isn't so busy, it's not because people are on the old one... if you check Nestcape V you'll see no new posts since this one was created. I think things are a bit slower on this board now but it should pick up once the puck drops this weekend. Right now we don't even have a formal training camp roster or schedule to talk about!

All of the old boards are closed for posting, except SNL. You can however still read them.

The old board is indeed closed for posting, in fact there's a huge banner and link at the top of the page directing you here.

However, and this might seem strange, people in Cape Breton are busy in the summer. They do things, go camping, to the beach, hiking, exploring, enjoy concerts and such. There's lots of stuff going on this time of year from festivals to block parties to simply relaxing at the cottage.

I mean we are just one of the top tourist destinations in the world. One of the top four summer escapes according to GQ, most beautiful island in the world according to National Geographic, Golf Digest International has ranked Highlands Links the top course in Canada, Golf Digest Canada ranked it the top public course in the country.

So people have more important things to do than sit around a message board and talk about an upcoming season of junior hockey which to most feels like it should be another two months away.

I also don;t think this board is any more dead than a lot of the other boards - though some are much more active than others.

I'd agree with that. I think the problem is that when a team like Moncton adds an Ontario invite there is a full page story in the paper.

We haven't had any info from anybody since the playoffs ended really.

Other than the fact that the team needs billetts badly.

All boards are pretty much the same with the exception of Moncton's, reason being that Moncton is the only team where the training camp has already started. When training camps start elsewhere, the other boards' activity will also increase.

Things should really pick up once the players hit the ice and the intrasquad games start. It will also help once the fans see something in print about who's actually here trying out.

Maybe teams are just cautious, waiting to see who shows up before putting their names in print with a lot more teams chasing free agents.

Apparently, all you need to do is start a wrestling thread.
