=== Toronto Bladers chat ===
=== Toronto Bladers chat ===
During 2021 the [[bladers chat]] was very active and while that is appreciated, it can also be overwhelming at times for some skaters, therefore a set of guidelines was put in place to alleviate the load of messages that we can produce. Please see the guidelines and when possible always address the person that posted a message, in private, unless the subject is of everyone’s interest. The idea is, to post publicly and receive feedback privately when the matter is not of general interest. (sale, trade, deal, question about someone stuff, etc)

As it can be seen, in 2021 the group was not much used due to it’s ongoing problems. In 2022, not much is planned for this group for 2022, with the exception of [[Bladers day]], Halloween and Luminous roll and perhaps a random unplanned fixed location skate event.

'''The group has been dead and neglected for over a decade'''. In 2019 Carlos organized a few events, then I picked up on it but it is not possible to manage a group with 599 accounts when I do not have permissions to do so and the only person that can do that, only logged in 1 time in 2021, after many attempts of mine to reach out to him. The rest can be read here:

Over the years we have all met skaters that have used different local stores for their skating needs and many have have good and bad experiences in both stores. Feel free to recommend a store or product another skater, use the store merch and talk about your experiences but I would like to kindly ask to do it outside of the Toronto Bladers platforms (chat, wiki, platforms, social media, etc) in order to keep the group neutral towards these business and avoid ongoing politics.
