Brings Groucho's phrase to mind: " I DON'T WANT TO BELONG TO ANY CLUB THAT WILL ACCEPT PEOPLE LIKE ME AS A MEMBER". PS. Thanks, HP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Reynolds Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) a shame the place will no longer be around. however as some have noted, the volume and activity has been almost nothing for quite some time. when BBS traffic was high and the internet was newer, there was *nothing* quite like Jazz Corner - the memories and friends I've met are priceless...

CJ Shearn Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I always liked Jazooo's posts, HLJ's short posts with "peace.and all that." at the end are amusing. DEEP's personality is not missed. I remember when avant garde fans crapped on mainstream ones, a guy (coypu?) trying to claim death metal (I think it was JC) superior to jazz.

Mike Schwartz Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) regardless of the changes through the years, I will most definitely miss it but am grateful for all the years and the friends I've made. big thanks to Lois for putting up with a lot of "stuff"! Me too certainly, and if memory serves that's the place where I met you 'Sis, where we met eventually along with many others!! The *stuff* (which would spin out of control from time to time) was part of the strength of the place...would allow people to get after it with one another; more times than not would spark discussions. Your opinion may vary;-)) Other places, specifically this one and AAJ pretty much don't allow disagreeing 'loudly,' which is NOT a put_down....just the way they choose to moderate/operate.

ejp626 Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 A snapshot of the entire web?! Good lord! I wasn't even aware that was possible.The British Library is only going to try to gather UK content, but that includes lots of blogs and maybe Facebook pages and probably your emails (esp. if on Gmail!): http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/internet/9973160/British-Library-to-begin-web-harvest.htmlI believe I read that Google does harvest the web periodically but they keep mum about it given all the copyright issues involved.

Jim R Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I'm the dork who invented the name three people game on JC that you guys have taken and run with, to my great amusement. Inventing it and carefully molding it into one of the most important cultural phenomena of the 21st Century are two very different things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Russell Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I remember a Scandinavian from 2002 or 2003 very frequently posting on AAJ that death metal was better than jazz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollhead Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I am writing a grant proposal (high six figures!) now that will make me the life-long curator of JCS threads started by Steve(thelil). I'm feeling it. I am already fielding calls from potential sponsors (many names of which you would know from watching the credits on Ken Burns documentaries or the Charlie Rose show!)

Aggie87 Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Hi Kids. I'm the dork who invented the name three people game on JC that you guys have taken and run with, to my great amusement. Anyway, Lois just announced that the JazzCorner Forums are ending on July 1. As a creature of habit, I've spent most of my time there, but expect to join you fine folks in light of this development. Just wondering whether JC folks will move over here. I will encourage it. Hope that doesn't seem like a bummer or imposition. -thelil Are you really The Lil? Or just A Lil of many Lils? If you are The Lil, that's rather impressive, one should think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dolan Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 No, he is (THElil)! Not to be confused with just any ol' cheap impostor. He is THE cheapest of impostors. A little respect is in order, my friend. BTW, CJ. Do you have any of Jazzooo's material? If you don't have a copy of Two Days in November, I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Tim McG Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) I hope Clint Hopson and HenryMc make their way over here. Great guys. A crying shame about JMJ, though. And Rollie? I have nothing to say except that I have nothing to say. Edited May 28, 2013 by GoodSpeak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve(thelil) Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) I won't battle anyone, as I am now attempting to take all the necessary steps for me to be tolerable. It may be an unreachable goal, but I think it's admirable nonetheless, and I commend myself for it. See. I told you.

BFrank Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Maybe someone can contact BN and convince them to revive the BNBB. BTW, if it's not too late, all you newbies should contribute to Alfredson's Kickstarter campaign to fund a Big John Patton tribute album. Maybe it will be enough to put him over the top!

Scott Dolan Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 It's a sterilization, J.A.W. That's all I was noting. Keeping things from getting nasty between posters is one thing, but deleting a post that simply referred to an event from 5 or so years ago, with no other intent than using it to make a quick point seems overbearing.
