I think he's looking for each individual photo to be sourced dude.

Well then, delete them!


It's unfortunate that other members won't be able to see them as some people are becoming complete fascists about things around here. I have better things to do than post individual links for each picture. If that isn't good enough, tough luck that I'll ever post pics on here ever again.

mr.x has been suspended for 5 day, I'm sure the time away will give him an opportunity to read the rules and understand they are there to ensure this forum avoids legal action against it. It would be very unfortunate if we all lost service of this forum because the moderators were not "fascist."

How dare you.


Do not forget who was the lone moderator that got this forum started. Who got all those initial topics started. Do not forget that.


Regardless, I have had exams throughout the week and had planned on a hiatus anyway.

While you are at it, you should study up on the meaning and history of fascism. Your application of the word here is pathetic.

Thank you very much. To keep up with my good work, I decided to suspend those based on the drafted SSP: Vancouver Rules Section 1-2, 1-3, 1-6, and 1-13. Keep in mind Section 1-8 and all of Section 3 is still in effect and will always be in effect. Don't know what I'm talking about? Well then you should remind yourself the rules in this link here (also as an announcement). I hope to not hear anything about Mr. X, or any other members from this point on, and that everyone follows all the rules, as you should be doing anyway.

Probably not too much. It didn't cost the Calgary Stampeders a significant amount to install 45,000 temporary seats, so 12,000 should be much less.

I am sure ticket sales more than cover it.

On a much lighter and less ironic note, it's snowing tons on Cypress. Even if February takes a turn for the worst like what forecasters had predicted earlier this year with El Nino, they'll still have a good base snow pack to work with.

This thread is now closed, there are still no source for the pics, a generic flicker search link does not count. The thread has also been taken completely off topic. If someone would like to create a new thread on the Cypress venues and provide proper links to the source of the pics they are more then welcome to.

It really doesn't matter if it's El Nino or not. With the amount of snow the mountains have been getting this year, El Nino isn't going to effect the Olympics because the snow is already there, unless of course we reach 10 degrees on the mountain for a few days...
