why do you respond Darren? I do think you want a hero cookie sometimes, but meh you did start a pretty awesome forum. Unfortunately that's all you did, sometimes you make it sound like you were directly responsible... that I do not understand If Darren did nothing more then start a forum, then why did he get invited into the press conference when they announced the Jets where coming back? Why did Mark Chipman become his friend? He just started a forum, nothing more.... C'mon man, give your head a shake.

Ya....because i'm sure back in 2003, when there WAS NO OWNERSHIP GROUP even established, that was Darren Ford's goal.....to get in with the ownership group Darren started a website about the POTENTIAL for the NHL's return to Winnipeg, nothing more. He was just like most members on here - a guy who was passionate about the Winnipeg Jets - only difference being is that he had the balls to start up a website and put his neck out there for people to label him a pipedreamer and nutcase. Jetsowner was a place to discuss news, events and even dream about one day having a team back. I say bravo to Darren for enabling all of us to have a place to discuss these possibilities. You people that are bashing Darren need a reality check and have some serious issues.......... Give it a rest for Go Jets Go Sakes!!!

craven must be either Big Chris or that Go Jets Go jets4life from yourwinnipegjets. ignore both those cocksuckers CravenM, AKA The Purple Rod, AKA JZilla, former mod here. He was also the one that pretended to be Alex, went so far as to post pics of Alex's house on the forum.

Completely disagree. Darren is first class all the way.
This site, which DARREN started and runs, has served its purpose. The Jets are back. It is time for everyone, including Darren, to move on. You can either choose to joint Wpg Free Press forum or you can choose other sites. And I understand that some of you may have strong feelings about the Free Press, but don't start knocking it before it is even launched.
Lastly, Darren doesn't have to answer to anyone else, but himself.
Thanks for doing this Darren.

Thanks guys, I have never claimed to be directly responsible, in fact you couldn't dig up a single post that so much as hints that. The idea that I am directly responsible is laughable at best.
I hope these types didn't get tickets and never see the concourse of MTS Centre except from outside through the glass of Hargrave Street.
My final post CLEARLY stated that I am happy if all I did was create a place where peolpe could come and not feel stupid for believing and at the same time get educated on how this dream could really come true. And yeah, all of the "keys" DID come true so yeah I'm gonna boast a bit. Geez. I threw those notions out on the net long before there was even a sniff of them. But these clowns have only been here for a year. They don't recall the early days. They didn't didn't answer a million calls and media requets. Attention? Haha. Uh, me thinks there are a million easier ways to get attention than to slowly grind out a "hopeless" campaign for 8 years. MUCH easier ways.
Must suck to be so useless. Can't wait for the many mods on JetStream to axe these guys at every turn. I want to participate in a positive HOCKEY ONLY forum. Hope you guys do too. John is working on making it better and better. Give it time.
All of this alterior motive and conspiracy crap is ridiculous.

Funny how attacks happen, they always seem to come from behind, and in a cowardly fashion people where a disguise or an alias to hide in there cowardly attack! Darren started this site because he believed in something very strongly, and now that the dream has come true and because of his hard work with the site, he now has a chance to make a few bucks doing something he loves to do and he did for free for many years. Did some things change in the past 7 years, did attitudes change, did Darren change, did his final direction change, well yes to all of these questions, thatโs how life works. People grow and change, situation also change and now I sense from a few people here that they are jealous Darren has been rewarded for being fatefully to the cause. If I was Darren I would tell all the haters to follow the instructional video supplied! (Notice you will be comfirtable with your standerd possition, coming from behind)

Who cares about Darren Ford. It's a web site and that's all. It got my season tickets today and it not because of Ford. Thank you Mr Chipman and Thompson.

If you don't like the website or DF that is fine, but just boycott. Why do you have to deliver this epilogue? At the end of the day Darren got ridiculed for many years by the media and others for his ROTJ stance, why shouldn't he bask in a little bit of glory? I love shoving it in the faces of people who said the Jets would NEVER come back.

Holy crap! These ignorant attacks on Darren sure came out of nowhere. Crusify him, crusify him! The Passion of the Jetsowner, anyone? WTF people?? This is a fan forum, no one was forced to join and post here!! Why all the attacks against df? I've only been here for a year, but I don't recall anyone on here taking credit for ROTJ, especially df! Darren put time, heart, and soul into this board so us believers had a place to chat together and share rumors and stuff. None of us here was responsible for the Jets coming back, we're just fans... some with inside info, and some not. I completely agree with the decision to lock down the board and move on. The Jets are back guys, find a new board to chat on (there are lots to choose from) and let this one go. This was a "return of the jets" board anyways. Darren, good for you for sounding off to the trolls here. Congrats on sticking your neck and name out there and for realizing the goal of our campaign. While we have never met, I'm sure you are the stand up guy in person as you are on the forum. And another thank you to the regular posters here for keeping us in the loop and for the chats and laughs, especially that simpsons thread. This will be my last post here, but I'll be on the other boards. Take care all! Why did you quote me for? You know I am defending Darren and am a huge ROTJ supporter, right?

Well, I DID get my season tickets because of Darren Ford. Well over a year ago he was dropping strong hints that those who supported the AHL product would be rewarded when we got an NHL team back. So, I bought a Moose mini pack for me and my family. Best $660 bucks I've ever spent. Thanks Darren! And don't let the bastards get you down.

Good web site and mostly enjoyable. I have only been here a short time mostly to find out rumours and share info. Darren did a great job and made a place for people to check out info on the return of the NHL. The guys who started this post is clearly jelous and should keep his opinions to himself! That is one thing thats terrible ablout the internet, the ability to harrass, attack, or stock anonomously. Some people have some real mental issues!!!!

The poster made a couple of points but they were hidden under a pile of stupidity.
There is a lot of disappointment from the jetsowner community that one person is making the decision to shut it down and endorse an inferior product with questionable journalistic integrity. I think that is the important point.
If John admitted he screwed up, well good. It's a rare admission from the WFP. They usually cover up rather than admit anything.
It seems clear that DF has made his decision and is not interested in the opinions of those who dont support it. So be it. Let's all move on to one of the other forums.
