A fascinating glimpse into some of our old comments from 23 years ago. And a whole forum just for the RVG series too! 23 years ago? I was still in primary school then 😅 so I was a little later but still: glad to have enjoyed the party! Edited March 4, 2025 by Pim Quote

Kevin Bresnahan Posted yesterday at 06:16 PM Report Posted yesterday at 06:16 PM The Blue Note forum was only around for about 7 years (1996-2003), so this forum has outlasted it by quite a bit. Quote
Dan Gould Posted yesterday at 06:39 PM Report Posted yesterday at 06:39 PM Had no idea the BNBB was active in 1996 - sounds early but around that time I think I barely had email and was using a friend's WebTV box to access! Must have been a few years before I found my way to Jazz BBs. Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted 23 hours ago Report Posted 23 hours ago I seem to remember late (like December) of 1996 but it may have been later. No matter when it started, it wasn't around for very long. I hung out at various Jazz forums back then and even the AAJ and The Jazz Corner forums held on longer than the Blue Note board. Quote

I'm thinking Organissimo may also be the *only* jazz discussion forum active in 2003 that's still around today. And twenty-three years feels like a century in digital-technology time. When this board launched there was no social media, no streaming, no YouTube, etc, and smartphones had yet to be introduced. (Remember when Blackberry was all the rage?) Quote
