Title: Dedicated media/presser thread?
Post by: TecnoGenius on August 27, 2025, 03:50:15 AM
Can we get a dedicated thread (stickied?) for someone (anyone?) to post all WFC-produced pressers?  (And maybe even the misc stuff like The Huddle, etc.)

I ask because I often see pressers posted in various threads that are not posted to the bluebombers site: not at the bottom and not in the videos links.  Sometimes they do show up, but 1-3 days later.  Sometimes never.  Often enough it's getting annoying.

I guess these are being posted elsewhere on social media, and it's nice people are posting to the threads here.  But when I'm reading threads I cannot always watch the vids, and when I go to watch them later I cannot find the thread that had the links... and since the bb site doesn't have them, I basically miss pressers completely.

For example, I could have sworn there were presser links on a thread between Aug 20 and Aug 25 (inclusive), like just a day or 2 ago, and yet on bb home page there are Aug 19 pressers and then it skips to Aug 26.  If there are 20-25th pressers, I have no way to see them.

Or... the person who adds the pressers to the home page and videos page can get off their duff and do it more timely and reliably!  Sometimes it seems like they're on holiday for a whole week.  I won't just rip on the WFC employees either, some team sites are even worse than ours for timely videos!  (CGY is just horrific, especially when they lose.)

Agreed, consistency has fallen off badly in the last year with poor roster info and random videos, used to visit the Bomber website daily for reliable information.  Now more likely to stumble upon their videos browsing YouTube and don't even bother with the roster they have posted.

Good idea if someone wants to do it. I just go to the YouTube channel directly when I want to watch. It's usually up there pretty fast.

Super awesome!  Thanks so much!  Talk about responsiveness.  This will really help me make sure I don't miss any WFC produced videos, and I bet we'll be 10X faster with the posts & updates as the bluebombers.com site.

It should be stressed that EVERYONE should post to that sticky thread if they are the first to see a link/video.  And you can still post to other threads that are relevant, but also put a copy on the video thread.

Thanks!!
