Shaw group should be removed because of merger

@SLC_96
Assuming you're in the good ol' USA. We should probably remove the Shaw forum since Rogers absorbed Shaw in a merger recently. I will ask for feedback from the rest of the Canadian DSLRers. I know we used to refer to the specific cableco with sCable (Shaw) and rCable (Rogers), so we might want to adhere to that in the future.

I think this a good idea, I'm wondering if the offers will be segregated based on Region again... as in will Rogers keep the Shaw brand around so they don't have to lower prices on all of Rogers.

Do you want to convey to Dear Leader, aka @SLC_96, the forum deletion request? You do have more power than little ol' me. 😄

Oh don't worry, they'll continue to eff us out here in BC and Alberta with their Robbers together with Shaw marketing BS.

Ebox has been bought by Bell, but runs as https://ebox.ca separate from https://bell.ca And Start has been bought by Telus but runs as https://start.ca separate from https://telus.ca Similarly the Shaw satellite service still runs as https://shawdirect.ca We should use the name that the company uses. Otherwise it'll confuse users. If Shaw internet gets re-branded as Rogers, then, yeah, drop the Shaw INTERNET forum.

I think until the company is functionally integrated it makes sense to keep Shaw separate

Even if they are using the Rogers branding now out west, the service offerings, apps, billing, etc are still all separate.

I'm already seeing it frequently on other sites where Shaw users are coming on to Rogers forums and asking questions where the answer can be completely different in the East or West

corster Completely agree and I am one of those on Shaw (Together with Rogers) users who has gone to Rogers Forums for information that did not pertain to us in BC. Recently I went to a Shaw Forum and there was some kind of notice about it being moved to the Rogers Forums but I could not log into the Rogers Forum to post anything with my Shaw credentials so all a bit confusing at the moment. I am in favour of the Shaw forum being kept in place for the time being.
