i'm not sure. but i always felt like a merger of the two should happen.

The merger was pushed for over a year ago. Metrojacksonville had a great front page, and metjax has extremely active forums. Sadly, Jimmy never felt like working with everyone to include the two. When MetJax crashed in may, it was just good timing for MetroJacksonville to spread its wings and bring up its own forums. Now it looks like that was the absolute right decision. All that information on metjax is now gone.

I'm not sure what is going on either.  It seems like it has been removed because of the "Forbidden" page that appears when you try to access it.

I guess Jim's situation is worse than I thought.  He told me that he was going through some personal and buisness complications when I spoke to him a couple months ago.  I asked that he give me some more substantial control over the forums but that didn't happen.  This shutdown will likely be the ultimate demise of MetJax.  At least we are all welcome here!

Guess that's it then...sorry to see it go, but I guess we all knew it was inevitable...Thankfully there's a few places in which we can still chat...this being one of them!

From someone on the Metro Jacksonville Board - that's a pretty good summation

i mean if nothing else couldnt they just re-route someones pages who typed in metjax.com to go to to metrojacksonville.com?

I sent a message to Jim yesterday but haven't gotten a response back yet.

I would just let it go Jason, Metjax was a shell of its former self anyway. Its like seeing Muhamed Ali now with Parkinsons after seeing how powerful he was in his hay day. It makes you sad, and long for the old days, but you can never have that back... Not to wax too poetic about it, but those who posted on that forum from April 2006-Dec 2006 understand what I am talking about.

I'm here and am not going anywhere.

It's a Twister! It's a Twister!

Henry! Henry! I can't find Met-Jax!
She's somewhere out in the storm!
Met-Jax!

That site is the only contact I have with Jim.  Still haven't heard anything.
