jmjk Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 FYI- Bluenote has closed the BBS. Now what was it that pushed it over the edge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 I never understood the extreme reaction that Blue Note had last week. I refuse to believe that it had anything to do with Norah Jones, or Politics, or even cdr's. I'm at a loss, maybe I just don't understand the mindset that went into the reaction, I mean, the flamewars on sportsboards are far worse than anything on the BNBB. So, who knows.

Daniel A Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 It bothers me that the last thing (ever?) posted was some stupid comments from 'l p'. I was into the process of backing up all the threads, but was in no way finished. I assume they are now all gone for ever. Damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2Lunch Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 I've been checking over there daily with some morbid sense of curiousity. Seems like someone finally pulled the plug while the whole mess was gasping for its last breath. I will be surprised if it does come back in May.

Use3D Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Whoa the BNBB finally kicked it huh? I hope those meanies over there don't bother flocking this way. Then again I might get to use my Moderating Fist of Doom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDK Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Has anyone tried those "closed thread" links that someone posted here earlier? The board might be closed, but we might still be able to link to the old treads and back them up. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel A Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 (edited) I just checked what I was able to get. Some odds and ends, but at least a couple of thousands of threads. At least I've got such classics as 'eBay Craziness - redux' and the Lou Donaldson call threads. And, yeah, the Mobley Korner seems to be there too. Has anyone else been saving anything from the BNBB?

I was into the process of backing up all the threads, but was in no way finished. I assume they are now all gone for ever. Damn. Do you feel like Kal-El and Jar-El watching Kryton explode from afar? Last time I looked, the last post was a response to lp by Franz Vichi. The old threads might, MIGHT remain archived and available. It's so wacky over there now, I'd assume nothing one way or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clandy44 Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Amazing. I can understand the suits at BN not caring, but I just have to believe the Mosaic folks are not pleased by this development since they got many sales just from the enthusiastic chatter on the BNBB among ourselves. I too don't think it's a Norah thing as the cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
not green not blue Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 It's all been relegated to the past now, a fading memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfricaBrass Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Do you feel like Kal-El and Jar-El watching Kryton explode from afar? I just picture Greg as Jor-El (looking like Marlon Brando) watching his world crumble. Good thing we found this new planet before Krypton went. I hope there were escape ships that make it here. I see a few made it to AAJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel A Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 (edited) Do you feel like Kal-El and Jar-El watching Kryton explode from afar? Something like it, yeah! I see that I've got some Chris Albertson-hardbop fights, too. These may very well be a source of some tearful reminicing when I retire.

Jazzmoose Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 I don't understand why they didn't just do this from the start, if they wanted to make wholesale changes. It couldn't have been that hard to predict what would happen the way they approached it. I can't help but think someone far up the chain, with no previous exposure to internet bulletin boards, checked out the place and crapped his pants...

Jim Alfredson Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Jim, I'm SO glad that one can write "Fuck it" here without fear of the evil eye. We have no language filter here at all. I haven't even looked at that function. We're all big boys and girls. We've heard "dirty" words before. Language filters suck. As Use3D said the other night, "If people are offended by the words fuck, shit, ass, etc. they shouldn't be on the internet." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2Lunch Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 You've just laid out the welcome mat for Wingy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Wingy is welcome here. But if he purposely attacks another member in a threatening way, he'll get the boot. That doesn't go for fart jokes. His jokes are lame, but they aren't threatening. My only rule here is no threats. Also, keep in mind that there is a "Report this post" link at the bottom of every post. If you see something you think I should consider censoring, use that link. A funny aside, the code for that button in this software is "go tell momma". I found that the other day. Hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
