Open Discussion

On the evening news two of the legislators who will be voting on the tax legislation, Terry Fields and Wise both went on record to say that they felt the Mayor has greatly "overstated"  the potential financial impact on Jacksonville by this legislation.  They were unsure why he was making such dire predictions about a legislation that has several different proposals under discussion.  They also stated that they felt Jacksonville would have no difficulty dealing with the legislation and should be able to absorb the changes readily without alot of problem.

Quite a different view from two individuals in the middle of the mix.

Auntie Em, Uncle Henry, Toto, it's a twister, it's a twister! No Met-Jax forums, this is just horrible. I haven't seen anything like this since that Anita Bryant concert. Now the whole web has fallen into unconsciousness, just like Bush, Crist, Peyton and Blaylock! Maybe computer's just aren't my game. I know! Let's have a spelling contest! Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit methamphetamine's! Crazy in Coral Springs.

Stephen have been in touch with light rail groups, we should have some blistering  BRT vs LRT numbers to share after some "Amtrak business."

Here I was trying to post some lovely pictures of the city's Memorial Day activities at our "Wall" and there was no METJAX to post 'em on.

So have a look at this link.

Although metjax is down (for whatever reason) and I'm sure that there's some major governmental conspiracy behind it ...I see that many of us have wandered over to here....so I've decided to follow along, as I don't want to go through the withdraw on my own.

Glad to see you here Joan. Have a look at the Memorial Day pix posted in the previous post. You are in a couple of them.

If you want, you can also post them here, in the same format.  Here's an example, from your link.

Hey guys,

According to Ennis this morning.  Jim is working on it, but having trouble getting the site reconnected to the net.  There is also talk about connecting these two sites in order to keep someone available 24/7 in case stuff like this happens.  Stephen can tell everyone about that.

Smiles,  Diane

I was starting to worry, you guys. Thanks for the info, Diane. It has been frustrating not to be able to see what people were talking about, but I'm glad there is this venue to keep things straight. Any moderators and admin, please keep us posted on MetJax and when the kinks will be straightened.  Thanks!

Hey Stephen!
Yeah, it is getting rather long. I just read the JTA Final Chapter of BRT, though. Great article.

Okay Troops,  

I have worked backwards through this situation with MetJax Hosts and servers to find an answer to the missing forum we know and love.  MetJax is still active with it's current hosting site through 5/2008.  There are two servers that are being used for Jim's forums.  Both servers are with the same company.  Both servers are currently "not working". The company is in the throws of reworking their entire system to expand its capabilities.  According to their online information the installation and upgrade is only partially complete.  They are still working on several other aspects and do not give an estimated completion date for that work.  Right now according to what they are saying, Jim cannot do anything until their installation is complete.  He will then need to interface with them at that time.  So, part of the mystery is solved.  We need to wait it out for a few more days at least.  I will continue to check up on it.

These past few days have made me realize how much time I really spend on Metjax every day. They sure have been boring while the forums have been down!
