The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

I believe that has much less to do with your own efforts to reform, but more rather mandated restrictions by board authorities.
I don’t give two shits about it, no more, I’m simply amused by it all now. It’s super goofy out there, but I’ve moved on. I’ve been given no warning here by the powers that be, but hey believe what you want to believe, Mëds.

I've got some 195 ha of forest up north, and Vattenfall is planning to build a wind farm in that area. Still tied up with all the legal details about connecting power lines and shit, so I probably won't see any income from that till like 2030. Still.

Won't be any actual wind mills on my land though, so it's my neighbours who will get the real windfall, but I'm close enough to get some pittance from it. And hey - it's money for nothing! You don't say no to that. :thumbs:

In fact, it's better than money for nothing, because they will also have to improve the roads in the area, and normally the landowners in the area would share the burden of road maintenance costs of the roads that aren't public, but now Vattenfall will shoulder the entire cost of strengthening the gravel roads so they can transport all their gear into place! :D
