Well that is a pretty fair point. And like I say every Thanksgiving with family. It is better to be with the aholes you know. lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

win4ever Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Lol, surprisingly there weren't too many other Jets websites that were active at the time once JI went down. Scout was horrible. GG- I was there first, but I hated their thread merging policies (every thing got merged into mega-threads) NYJetsfans- Not active Some other ones averaging three posts a day. I think having a separate draft forum that was atleast semi active was my biggest draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornfed Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Pretty incredible how fast that site went down the tubes after the switch. I understand he committed contractually to the switch before it was finally made, but from a product development perspective, it's even more crazy. It's like "hey, we are going to try something new. Check it out and let me know what you think." There was he volumes of negative feedback which was all ignored, the changes happened, anyway. And the site failed. Ignoring screaming users is not the way to manage a product. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesr Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I remember hanging on in the JI forums just before it went dark ... not many people around, but it felt like it was the hardcore alcoholics who were in denial that the bar would ever close. Then I tried to give Scout a go, but it was horrendous ... I think HYATT (TM) actually posted a tutorial for newbies about how to get the quote feature to work without wrecking the thread completely ... which just encouraged everyone to misuse it more and wind him up deliberately. I knew then that it was time to leave ... the hardcore alcoholics had turned up at what they thought (hoped?) was a bar, still drunk, only to find it being run by a teetotaller. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggin94it Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Ah, I see now. When he announced it, I tried my very best to support him and hoped it would work out despite my doubts. I.e. Till the facts made rather clear otherwise. I felt I owed it to him, honestly, he provided me a home for my JetsFandom I never had before, he let me Mod (disaster tho that turned out to be), and had always been supportive and kind to me (online). Honestly, I always wondered if I choose poorly sticking with the busier JI when the original JI/JN Split occured. Most of my better "e-friends" were on the JN side, and I certainly understood their issues at the time and sympathized, but leaving the massive population and frequent postings at JI was real tough for me back when JN was, sorry, a bit on the quiet side most days. Still, as it played out, I likely shoulda just jumped ship with Max and crew way back when. Ended up here anyway, except now alot of folks think I'm new, instead of going back so many years now with the oldsters here. Same thought here, minus the mod bit, and more focused on the second migration Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kleckineau Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I didnt have all that much experience over there. I remember thinking it kinda sucked and also that Smizzy seemed to be the king of all nozzles.Then it became Scout which was horrible. I came over here in 06 and really never looked back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ji was fun, relevant and very fluid pretty much up to the end The posters who frequented there were what made JI. The site itself was terrible.

Brady's a catcher Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 The posters who said that the only thing that made JI at all worthwhile was the great core group of vet posters. Pretty large group when you think about it, hasd so much fun there over the years. I even tried to post here and at JI for a while but then I had kids and my free time went poof! Wonder what Borgo is up to these days. Hope he's well, I really liked that nut. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
