Journey - Mailing List

[realrockfan30]

Back in the late nineties (around 1998) I was a member of the Journey message list - which was a mailing list that was sent through email everyday. I had the opportunity to chat with a few Journey fans off the mailing list.

I was just wondering if anyone from that mailing list is a member of this forum board?

Wasn't this "list" a subdivision of sorts from the Bands' Journeyforce program.. Try contacting Nocturne or Nightmare productions in San Francisco, and go from there...

No, it wasn't a subdivision of the Journeyforce from what I remember. A fellow member had started the mailing list from his website. It was a majordomo list.

This was before Journey had an official website.

Yes, and it still exists as a Yahoo list:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JourneyDigest

This list has NOTHING to do with Journeyforce, or the official forum
BackTalk (except shared members). It was started by me in 1992, changed owners to Dan Stacy in 1995 or so. It moved from majordomo to Yahoo in 2000 and is still owned by Dan, and has a few other 'moderators' to keep things under control.

You can also visit the digest's website at journeydigest.com.

That's right! I remember you Monker! I wasn't sure if Dan still had a website up or not. I think I stopped posting on it after about '99.

I remember a few people from the list....you, Darla, Dan, the one that has the Steve Perry site....there was someone else with a Journey website....I can't remember his name but I used to surf his site religiously for updates on Journey.

The Perry website would be Jasparina...last I heard, she was taking it down, or at least not updating it, and concentrating on a "Lord of the Rings" site. That was a few years ago, after the first LotR's movie.

there was someone else I can't remember his name but I used to surf his site religiously for updates on Journey

That would be Steven Lake. His site, journey-tribute.com, has not been updated since 2001 or so. He has disappeared. From what I understand, he was receiving a lot of "not so nice" mail from some Perry fans and was getting tired of constantly dealing with it.

I was thinking his first name was Steve or Steven, but wasn't sure. Why was he receiving hate mail from Perry fans?? He is probably like alot of us, we get busy with other things and don't have time to keep up sites that don't necessarily make money.

I hope Jasparina thinks about keeping the site up, although I can see her point! I know that Perry has a website domain...has had it for a long time, but hasn't done anything with it.

Anyways, on the mailing list my nickname was G-Man. I actually had one Journey fan that had came to see me years ago..so that was nice! I just might have to make a stroll on over to the yahoo site and see what is going on over there.
