Trishah, would it be possible to put a direct link in the top information about this new site on SaveJFC main page, where it says that the old page is not updated anymore? That would simplify the transition from there to here. Some lazy souls, you know...(like me! :D) have everything "on a speed dial".

I would also note, that the music from JFC that automatically starts when one gets to the site perhaps could be reduced to a few soundbites, as it is intrusive, while one tries to get oriented around the site, besides some have their sound turned up to maximum, so it is a shock.  The catchphrases are very good, though, I'd keep that! That would also help with the "overcrowding" of the main page, 'cause then the dials could be eliminated. It is of course, my personal opinion, but changes are part of progress. Sorry for using such a cliche!

I didn't get to think much about the info blog yet. What do you think about a different design? By the way, Deadwood site, that you so thoughtfully designed, even at this unfinished stage looks modern and cool, I loved it better than ours. Would you like to let Deadwood people know that it exists? I could do that, but the work is 100% yours, you should take the credit. You can register and introduce yourself, simple, and you already know these people from HBO Deadwood forum. I have a link, if you need it.

That's all for now. (I intensely dislike every time going through the verification charades in PMs, especially in the dark of the night, sorry for using the open thread. I hope it's OK with you.

That's something I can add.

The sound is turned down to 50% on the new site.  If you noticed the volume dial is in the middle not way up.  If you have a different percentage you want me to try then please tell me what percentage you want it at and I'll change it.  I want to keep the player since then it gives people the option of listening to more than one.

You said you were going to show me examples of what looks you like so I was waiting on that.  I simply do not have any more time to redesign things now.  And the DeadwoodChronicles.com site is no where's near finished so I don't want to advertise it until I get all the pages done and that is going to take a long time since it is really the least of my priorities...  I'm trying to get 3 different businesses up and running so I simply don't have the time.

That's all for now. (I intensely dislike every time going through the verification charades in PMs, especially in the dark of the night, sorry for using the open thread. I hope it's OK with you.

No secrets here.  I'm fine with this being public.  Wish I had more time.

Trishah, would it be good to have a thread, not a site and a link  with the same purpose as the memorial page from the funeral home? That could be an easier way to write something about our girl. The portrait of Tammy you posted and a flying bird are nice, and I remembered another Tammy's photo, I think it's in her profile here on the BB. She is a bit younger there, a beautiful, full of joy woman.

I am sure everyone would like to hear some of the stories YOU must have about your work together on BOSS, about the hard time Tammy was giving a PR man from HBO, etc. Would you write that? Only Skor, I think, had met with Tammy, maybe she wouldn't mind  telling us something? Ray/Zippy was working on the film with Tammy and you, maybe he remembers something?

What do you think?

We are alive when remembered, only the memories are too fleeting.

[Cissy]

I agree Sven.
  :(

[Sven2]

Cissy, would you please, re-post what you said about Tammy to the new thread? You have written so well! Or write some more?
Thanks, Trishah for the thread! Does anyone have more pictures of Tammy, maybe from Facebook?

Trishah, what happened to the link to Amazon? I think it's the time of the year when shopping frenzy is hmmm, given an absolution, even "sanctified", so it could give the site upkeep fund some support. I don't buy much, but books on Amazon, however online shopping is a billion dollar business, a pity to neglect it.

Maybe those ghostly (and ghastly) merchants that seem to relocate to JFC for their dealings (a woodstove, anyone?) would be so considerate as to buy something from Amazon. Who knows......

What do you think?

[SaveJFC Admin]

Okay, I did a quick rework of the homepage to include the amazon search again.  No one has really used it in a long time and it hasn't brought in any money since the Spring. 

But maybe we could create a "sales page" on the site and see if we can promote it and get some more people clicking though...  Can't do it now, but let's revisit the idea in January.

[SaveJFC Admin]

The last couple days I have gotten warnings from the server saying there was some problems connecting the forums database.  Everything seems to be okay now, but I'll keep an eye on it.

Happy Holidays!

Site has been updated to the newest stable version of SMF (Simple Machine Forum).  I haven't found any problems so far but do let me know if you find any.

Trishah

[Sven2]

Trishah, maybe it's time to clean the stables. I am dismayed at growing rapidly (should've said rabidly!) membership on the site - merchants and nothing else. None ever said a word as to why and for what purpose have they landed here. 
I was reading "The JFC experience",  if you want - go and see for yourself  - the comments there are just spam, links to the sites selling Viagra and such.

If there is nothing to do on JFC bulletin board it doesn't mean it should be turned into a ghost town, or a hub of shady commerce.

What is your opinion?

[SaveJFC Admin]

I just sent Marc a message to make him aware of the situation over there. 

I see your concern.  I'm not sure what we can do as far as participation at the site unless we want to change the site's focus in some way in order to attract more members.  And unless we create a JFC Matrix program (really I'm just joking with that one) or run games and contests with valuable prizes I don't know what would bring people in.

And maybe that isn't the point.  Maybe we have to look at this site like high school.  We all had our community experience once, good-bad-or-indifferent... Some of us moved away.... Some of us never left town... Some of us stayed in touch over the years... Some were never heard from again...  Some come back for a visit now and then...  And there are always the reunions for those who care for that sort of thing.

I will keep this site here as long as I am alive and can click a mouse.  I said from the beginning, though I don't think many believed me, that I was in it for the long haul. 

I love your updates on Milch and the gang.  And the music videos.  And I wouldn't take it personally when people move on. 

Guess we should just ask....  What would JOHN do?

[Sven2]

That people silently stop by and happily sail away doesn't bother me at all, and just like yourself, I am here for as long as I can manage. My worries are addressed to the unknown, practically unknowable actions of all those with commercial websites that are doing their deals here, under the cover of JFC. I suggest to look at registered members that list their websites.

I am for purging the shopkeepers.

[Sven2]

Just a note, Trishah. I checked the old site, SaveJFC. There's no working link to this new place. Please, see if you can fix that. If you click on the subtitle "this site is no longer updated, please click" etc, it sends you back to the same SaveJFC site.

We are in the eye of a blizzard, 18" of snow already with strong winds, even the dog doesn't want to go out in this weather, so I'm "channels surfing".

[SaveJFC Admin]

All fixed.  I may have missed a few pages but all the important ones are done.

We only got about 6 inches here.  Just enough to make the old dirty snow drifts look fresh.
