wow - over 3000 now. I bet we hit 5000 before the day is done.

It's a great site and tool for knowledge about various things, it's no surprise that people want it to stay. Also, I wonder how many are going through withdrawal because of it's absence lol

^ I've developed a twitch at work already... It's my go-to site while waiting for processes to complete, or a server to reboot, etc... or needed a quick break from what ever work related thing I'm doing...

It's not quite solved with reddit.com/r/edmonton and SSP... those were always backups when I couldn't find much to troll on c2e.

Black Star · #**3044** Posted **Jun 15, 2016, 8:07 PM**

C2E has its place, hope they figure it out. But I'm a fan of this place. More of a civil sense going on with SSP. And we have a couple referees

seamusmcduff · #**3045** Posted **Jun 15, 2016, 8:12 PM**

I just like how there's a separate thread per topic on C2E, easier to follow. There's separate threads here, but only two really get used. The General Construction Thread and the Photo Thread.

Breaking news!!!!

Productivity in the Edmonton Region spikes!

That is all.

I don't understand what RichardS doesn't relinquish control of the site to someone else, or a group of users. If he doesn't accept help and wants to continue to control the site, how can people help? Ideally a non-profit group or organization would back it.

On that note, some great support online. Someone just donated $750!

Ok 'passionistas', if you want to share your views on the DC1 rezoning north of the arena (surface parking for 10 yrs), it is Monday June 20 at 630pm. Edmonton Chinese Baptist Church, 11112-109 AvenueNW.

Skyisnolimit · #**3049** Posted **Jun 15, 2016, 10:29 PM**

I don't post on c2e or even registered on it but I do lurk there everyday always wondered why there was not a donate button on the site. More then happy to donate 100$ to the cause . It will really 🞵🞵🞵🞵 if it does not come back.

the.tru.albertan · #**3050** Posted **Jun 15, 2016, 10:49 PM**

I was wondering if there would be talk of C2E on this forum. I'm a little bummed that site is going the way it is. There were some good discussions there. I really hope it comes back.

Watching some steel go up at Stantec. Also some machinery still picking away at Greyhound next door.

Rogie · #**3052** Posted **Jun 16, 2016, 1:20 AM**

Not sure where to place this since it's arts-related:

A prominent Edmonton family is paying for a life-sized statue of the main SCTV characters to be sculpted and cast by a city artist, and unveiled in the next couple of years, likely downtown.

Coldrsx · #**3053** Posted **Jun 16, 2016, 1:40 AM**

... a lard, can't wait for the rendering. (top Dawg tribute).

I've got a picture on my phone if there is a good place I can upload it?

Okay - here it is. They've been added a few letters each day for the past week or so?

I was wondering that - if he is actually interested? I'll gladly donate (on an annual basis) if he is - but it seemed like maybe he lost some passion?

Coldrsx · #**3056** Posted **Jun 16, 2016, 3:09 AM**

That ain't the McLeod...

Opps... sorry, I was trying to figure from google maps what building it might have been. Same question then - just with whatever name the building is.

Wouldn't be the first forum that I've paid to post on. But with C2E, it's definitely worth it.

^ Agreed, C2E should really have ads and/or a donate/subscription option to help offset some of the costs.
