Refugee from Jaxoutloud

[Uh Duh]

Jaxoutloud is no more.  Jacksonville is poorer for it.  Fortunately there is MetroJacksonville.  I love our city and its people and I love the Jaguars.

Does anyone know what happened to JaxOutLoud?

[Burn to Shine]

Too bad it's gone...I didn't know it existed.  I ran across this one this morning by accident.

The site met an untimely demise at the hands of its founder.  She said that people were too busy to maintain it and that it was time to move on.

Not all agree with that assessment, but it's not important.

We're here now.  Some of us have been here for quite some time.

Was it just a forum or a site like this?  A stand alone forum shouldn't be too hard to maintain...especially if one avoids over-moderating it to death.

[Jimmy]

Yep, it was, and I agree.  Aside from dealing with spam and the occasional need for moderation, it wasn't too hard to maintain.

Some back-end stuff requires extra time.  But no matter.  RIP JaxOutLoud.

OK Jimmy! I was wondering just what the heck happened...........been trying to log in for a few days now and it was not happening! Crying shame dude, but I understand! Anywho..........welcome and keep your toes crossed that does not happen here!( I don't think that it will!) The TU website is not worth wiping my rectal vent with.....checked it out and was very disappointed with what was taking place........that one is not for me!

[Jimmy]

Nah, these guys have a good structure for their operation.  Nothing to worry about here.

We hated to see JOL go by the way-side.  But little could be done to change the decision once it had been made.

The TU forums and story comments are... certainly less useful than a decent forum.  That's for sure.

[CS Foltz]

I concur! Welcome aboard.......allways room for one more opinion!

Agreed.  Worthless.

Another refugee, although I've been around here for just as long, as both JOL and MJ were formed by refugees from an earlier board.

I hope Joan makes it over here.. with her law enforcement and teaching background she is a clear lens in the fog sometimes.
I forget..was her avatar JBM?.

Some of the topics were so deep in our city budget and projects, that I just couldn't do my primer research to actually participate in the thread!
Everybody will see and find each other ..after all,we all live in this town together.

Well, thank you....I've been here for quite some time.

I too am very disappointed in JOL's demise, but as Jimmy said, we can't do anything about it once it was taken down.

[Ernest Street]

You got me there J.. ....i should have recognized the tone of Springfielder's posts..(J/K!)

[Uh Duh]

I wonder if Blacksheep is here too?  Jose Gaspar as well.  And the wonderful and determined Pearlstone.
