jmjk Posted March 11, 2003 Report Posted March 11, 2003 FYI- Bluenote has closed the BBS. Now what was it that pushed it over the edge? Quote
Matthew Posted March 11, 2003 Report Posted March 11, 2003 I never understood the extreme reaction that Blue Note had last week. I refuse to believe that it had anything to do with Norah Jones, or Politics, or even cdr's. I'm at a loss, maybe I just don't understand the mindset that went into the reaction, I mean, the flamewars on sportsboards are far worse than anything on the BNBB. So, who knows. Quote
Daniel A Posted March 11, 2003 Report Posted March 11, 2003 It bothers me that the last thing (ever?) posted was some stupid comments from 'l p'. I was into the process of backing up all the threads, but was in no way finished. I assume they are now all gone for ever. Damn. Quote
Out2Lunch Posted March 11, 2003 Report Posted March 11, 2003 I've been checking over there daily with some morbid sense of curiousity. Seems like someone finally pulled the plug while the whole mess was gasping for its last breath. I will be surprised if it does come back in May. Quote
Matthew Posted March 11, 2003 Report Posted March 11, 2003 P.S. -- I'll have to retire JuJu for good now. Quote
Use3D Posted March 11, 2003 Report Posted March 11, 2003 Whoa the BNBB finally kicked it huh? I hope those meanies over there don't bother flocking this way. Then again I might get to use my Moderating Fist of Doom! Quote
RDK Posted March 11, 2003 Report Posted March 11, 2003 Has anyone tried those "closed thread" links that someone posted here earlier? The board might be closed, but we might still be able to link to the old treads and back them up. ? Quote
Daniel A Posted March 11, 2003 Report Posted March 11, 2003 (edited) I just checked what I was able to get. Some odds and ends, but at least a couple of thousands of threads. At least I've got such classics as 'eBay Craziness - redux' and the Lou Donaldson call threads. And, yeah, the Mobley Korner seems to be there too. Has anyone else been saving anything from the BNBB?

I was into the process of backing up all the threads, but was in no way finished. I assume they are now all gone for ever. Damn. Do you feel like Kal-El and Jar-El watching Kryton explode from afar? Last time I looked, the last post was a response to lp by Franz Vichi. The old threads might, MIGHT remain archived and available. It's so wacky over there now, I'd assume nothing one way or the other. Quote
clandy44 Posted March 11, 2003 Report Posted March 11, 2003 Amazing. I can understand the suits at BN not caring, but I just have to believe the Mosaic folks are not pleased by this development since they got many sales just from the enthusiastic chatter on the BNBB among ourselves. I too don't think it's a Norah thing as the cause. Quote
not green not blue Posted March 11, 2003 Report Posted March 11, 2003 It's all been relegated to the past now, a fading memory. Quote
AfricaBrass Posted March 11, 2003 Report Posted March 11, 2003 Do you feel like Kal-El and Jar-El watching Kryton explode from afar? I just picture Greg as Jor-El (looking like Marlon Brando) watching his world crumble. Good thing we found this new planet before Krypton went. I hope there were escape ships that make it here. I see a few made it to AAJ. Quote
Daniel A Posted March 11, 2003 Report Posted March 11, 2003 (edited) Do you feel like Kal-El and Jar-El watching Kryton explode from afar? Something like it, yeah! I see that I've got some Chris Albertson-hardbop fights, too. These may very well be a source of some tearful reminicing when I retire. Edited March 11, 2003 by Daniel A Quote
wesbed Posted March 11, 2003 Report Posted March 11, 2003 Mosaic will have to link to their forum on THIS board. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted March 11, 2003 Report Posted March 11, 2003 Fuck it. Time to start anew, friends. I for one am happy you all came here and I hope we can make this a nice community. Thank you all. Quote
jmjk Posted March 11, 2003 Author Report Posted March 11, 2003 Jim, I'm SO glad that one can write "Fuck it" here without fear of the evil eye. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted March 11, 2003 Report Posted March 11, 2003 I don't understand why they didn't just do this from the start, if they wanted to make wholesale changes. It couldn't have been that hard to predict what would happen the way they approached it. I can't help but think someone far up the chain, with no previous exposure to internet bulletin boards, checked out the place and crapped his pants... Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted March 11, 2003 Report Posted March 11, 2003 Jim, I'm SO glad that one can write "Fuck it" here without fear of the evil eye. We have no language filter here at all. I haven't even looked at that function. We're all big boys and girls. We've heard "dirty" words before. Language filters suck. As Use3D said the other night, "If people are offended by the words fuck, shit, ass, etc. they shouldn't be on the internet." Quote
Out2Lunch Posted March 11, 2003 Report Posted March 11, 2003 You've just laid out the welcome mat for Wingy! Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted March 11, 2003 Report Posted March 11, 2003 Wingy is welcome here. But if he purposely attacks another member in a threatening way, he'll get the boot. That doesn't go for fart jokes. His jokes are lame, but they aren't threatening. My only rule here is no threats. Also, keep in mind that there is a "Report this post" link at the bottom of every post. If you see something you think I should consider censoring, use that link. A funny aside, the code for that button in this software is "go tell momma". I found that the other day. Hehe. Quote
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted March 11, 2003 Report Posted March 11, 2003 Jim, I'm SO glad that one can write "Fuck it" here without fear of the evil eye. No Jeff, it's 'FIDO'.....as in the BNBB is history and it's time to FIDO Quote
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted March 11, 2003 Report Posted March 11, 2003 Wingy is welcome here. But if he purposely attacks another member in a threatening way, he'll get the boot. Note to self: With B-3 now guarding the gates make sure you don't slip up and start rattling on about how much you hate jazz organ Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted March 11, 2003 Report Posted March 11, 2003 Note to self: With B-3 now guarding the gates make sure you don't slip up and start rattling on about how much you hate jazz organ DAMN RIGHT! No posts about skating rinks, polka, or Lawrence Welk in reference to the organ allowed!!!! Quote
JSngry Posted March 11, 2003 Report Posted March 11, 2003 Mosaic will have to link to their forum on THIS board. You're a freakin' EVIL GENIUS, you are!!! Quote
