A thank you to the JCF.... (apologies for the novel)

[RacerX]

To Gary: I raise my mug of tea to you, sir!

You have never failed to crack me up; I really like your sense of humoUr!

This place is a bit addictive. My girlfriend thinks it is a bit strange that I wake get a cup of coffee and go straight to the computer. (or maybe better yet, crazy) This place has been very informational on many things other than just music. It is like a second family, which I think is a good thing. I have admitted a few things here that I wouldn't admit to my family. And I am not talking about sneaking in a few guitars.

I thank you all as well.


Cheers to all my fellow JCFers

I remember you NO PROBLEM, Ilker

Wow, I feel so important now.




Really. :ROTF:

Hey I can find you an IBM guy in Turkey if that's what makes you feel important and happy

It's good to see how many people feel the same way about the JCF that I do. I've been a BBS/IRC/forum "addict" for many years now, but the JCF has remained my favorite while others have come and gone. I've learned a lot, shared that knowledge with other musicians, and have greatly enjoyed gigging and recording with the gear that I'd never have found out about if not for the JCF.

My fav topic in the history of JCF was the one with the airplane and the conveyer belt... It was funny on so many levels

[emperor_black]

Yours is the biggest post, I've read COMPLETELY!! It makes so much sense! thanks for the post Gary!! Well said!!

If its possible (or relevant) this thread should become a sticky once enough people have pitched in their opinions. ...titled 'The JCF Brotherhood'.

I'm generally not much of a poster either, but this place has more bibz then everywhere else on the internets combined! I was so excited when I found this place, I wish I'd found it sooner, a jackson haven. But its the people that makes it a great place. It seems personality is a requirement for membership here, and it shows!

Its my favourite internet site for sure, and that includes ebay and all the nekkid ladies ones

[sully]

gary, thanks so much for your post; i have to say that while i may have showed up a little after you did (may of 2001), you've never ceased to be as funny as hell, and i really loved killing threads with you over the years.

there's been a lot of change over time, and we all have our memories. one of my favorite recurring moments were when greg would fight with michael charvel; those threads always cracked me up. there's a lot that i miss about the old old old old board, like when the e-fraid of ebay section was used for what it was originally intended for (it was a vault of info). one of the things that i don't miss though was the jcf yce series. don't get me wrong; i loved popping the case open, but the drama. oy.

anyway, thanks for sticking around and contributing; even if it's not like you used to ( i know that i don't post nearly as much as i used to, myself). you help make this place what it is. for that, i salute you! (like boxcar used to).

sully

Counting the pre-pro JCF boards and forums we are nearing a decade of life. Someday soon we will have members who were not born when the JCF began! (We may alreaday???)

It is so great to see a post like Gary's which so eloquently articulates the real-world impact this community has on people's lives. It is a tribute to all the past and present JCF members who keep it humming as well as the admins who keep the home fires burning.

21 gun salute!

totally agree

[MikeStrat]

Before stumbling onto the JCF in 2005 I had never been on any forums. I've made a few friends and a few hundred aquaintences. Somehow as busy as I am, the JCF has become a part of my everyday routines.

It's a cool community with a lot of good people.

"We talk like real adults here"......heh..heh...Really?

Good post. The JCF is a kick ass place to visit, be a member of, and a hard habit to break(as if one would want too).

Seriously, I've met some cool people here.
And then there's Ron, fett, Bill, Em, ......:ROTF: :ROTF: :ROTF: :ROTF: J/K

This place rocks

Speaking of adult talk....it still looks like a monster shit on a plate, to me.
Makes we want to start a fund to buy a flametop avatar.
