Canflyer
For those who might wonder, I understand from fairly reliable sources that the webhost for the site became insolvent and went out of business without any warning with no ability to retrieve the site.

And Parnel has moved his sandbox over to MP where he's waving the AC banner as GuinnessYYZ or some such similar moniker.

I think I went to Canflyer twice - once to see what it was all about and once more to verify my initial findings. It struck me as vehement drivel and rants on how wonderful AC was as opposed to a true Canadian perspective on frequent flying.
Good riddance I say.

Down but not out. As the OP mentioned, Canflyer's web hosting provider unexpectedly went out of business without warning. We're in the process of attempting to restore the data. In the meantime, a temporary site has been set up for Canflyer members and others to post.

Do you expect to get "a true Canadian perspective on frequent flying" on here? Surely not.
Its good to have several boards with different approaches. Check out CF again when its fully restored.

Restored in Full
Just a note that due to the efforts of cedric and the $$ contributions of a few people, the site canflyer.ca has now been restored in its entirety and the temporary posts are integrated into the main site.^
