Topic: The JAM forum

Message 1 / 10

Hi Jammers.

I dread stepping on Dean's toes with this impertinence, but I have created an experimental JAM forum at 

http://b9fx.com 

("Benign Effects"... geddit?  Oh...OK. It was just a domain I had lying around doing nothing, so I thought I'd use it.)

It uses myBB software and seems to be pretty easy to administer and use.

I've spent a total of 30 minutes setting it up (20 of which went into the ugly logo) so there is a lot to add if you are at all interested.

I have vacancies for forum moderators (who can take control of an individual forum), super-moderators (who have power over all forums) and super-keen contributors could even become full administrators and control the entire operation while I'm at the beach.

Please visit, register, play around and let me know what could be added, changed or improved.  I'm willing to support the forum for the long-haul if people want to use it.  Otherwise we can stay here at Yahoo.

Over to you.
Regards
Mark

I am worried this will split the community. I think it is better to keep things as they are.
It's not every day a new vault of JAM recordings are opened - january was not our regular month. We should be able to handle the load on the mailing list.

Just my opinion - I will of course follow if everyone transfers to the new forum. But I have bad experiences with similar attempts in the past.

Hello All
Well for my 2 pennies worth, its not all about the recordings being released, but being able to have a discussion with many others and to see other views and opinions, much like this email. However, as a medium for discussions email is not the route to go.

I joined here NOT for the recordings on their own, but to discuss and chat with people who also enjoy the shows past and present. Yes, finding a missing show is exciting for many, but should not be all we discuss or are interested in.  I for one like to discuss the individuals involved in the show and their special ways of playing. 

Although I am relatively new to JAM and the group, I would like to be able to see what went on in the past easily using a forum.  I am not for one minute...(pun intended) dissing the group or those who took the considerable time to manage and setup, but consider the forums as another way to communicate with each other and at times disagree or agree with opinions, as I thing this email may also do.

We can of course have both going with email links to something interesting going on on the forums. It wont for my part split the group and why should it?  Its just another way to communicate.

Views over to you

I agree with you Espen. I too have seen online communities fall apart with things like this.

Also, I (like most people, I think) look at my emails every day, and most of the time many times each day. I'm also able to view them on my phone easily when I'm out, away or just off the computer.

I didn't know about other people, but I personally don't think I'll be able to login to the forum more than every over day at most. More likely only about once a week. 

However, I do see Mark's points about why a forum is better in some ways, and I have signed up.

I registered for the Forum, just because.

Ive been unable to come here recently for one reason and many others and its been so difficult to catch up ive decided to not go thru everything, with the forum it would be so much easier to do so. Who knows what ive missed.
A spilt isnt desired by anyone however so of the majority want to stay here then i will go with that.

Hi Josey. One of the features of forums is that by default you will receive emails when a post of yours is replied to, so you need not keep checking the forum to find out. The email also contains a link back to your post so you can easily reply.

I don't think there's a setting to have ALL new posts emailed to you, but I am investigating.

Cheers
Mark

Yes Mark this is true, an email can be sent to you on a reply or new posts on any particular topic. I am at a loss as to why we are all not jumping for joy and running to the forum platform to help and support us all.  The email system throws emails in the spam folder one second then not and yet then again.  The delays in delivery also makes it difficult to keep track of conversations and debates etc. I have signed up as yahoo2u2 by the way and tried to start some conversations and discussions up.

Another point is that should something be emails that "maybe" should not then its almost impossible to delete as it will be in all our boxes and yahoo tracking.  However on a forum we can remove things as we see fit.

I am happy to keep both running, but we should see it as a positive move. IMHO

New information for those who don't look forward to trawling through a forum to find new juicy stuff...

You can find posts that are new to you from the forum's index page by clicking "View new posts"
You can find today's posts by clicking the "View today's posts"
Naturally - you won't be able to enjoy posts for members until you register (which is free and easy - like me.)

And as mentioned before, you can subscribe to discussion topics ("threads") and be emailed when new posts arrive.

Register as an elite JAM user at http://b9fx.com  to get the full benefit of all the discussion forums.
And if the forum dies an ugly brown dog's death, at least you can say to your grandchildren that you once visited a web forum, and they'll go, "REALLY?  Cool!"
(Except they won't, cos, you know, mail is DEAD [choke!] and forums are well OLD, but OK like. Innit?)

If you're as undecided as Cliff Richard, you can post to the forum AND the Yahoo group to cover both bases...

After all. Noone said it was easy to give up the quill, then the fountain pen, then the biro, then the typewriter and start using a computer... then email... then a forum.

Mark

This thread seems to be getting into a lot of detail now about how the new JAM Fan Forum works or could work. I really think this would be more appropriate over at the Forum itself. We now all know about the Forum and a link on our links page would be great, but I’d encourage anyone with questions or ideas about how it works to raise them at the Forum.
 
Of course the more general issue of the future of this mailing list is totally fine to continue to discuss here.
 
cheers
