Why do you want this to remain the Journey forum?

[Don]

He did the right thing, the only reason the masses visit this forum is because it's the first on the list. You could name it "Dont post here" and it would get the same amount of traffic. Just a quirk how forums work. Nuttin you can do about it.

I'd like to test this theory. Could we get Andrew to move Foreigner to the top spot and put Journey 2nd and see what happens?

Good idea!

OR better yet,,,we could all start posting in the Foreigner forum !!!

Great Idea! Their new CD comes out this month. I won't have to just play post tag with Stonecold and Peartree, we can actually have other posters join the party.

Well, ..... because Journey is on tour and, according to some, selling records like crazy, and is the best resurrected sound from the 80's. The mega fans of the band should have somewhere to go to discuss their passion?

Oh wait......there are more OT topics on this forum than any talk about the band, isn't there anything to talk about during the sold out tour of the country?

Maybe the forum should be OT. At least downstairs, the forum is called "Steve Perry" and that is what is discussed, whatever the topic (bodyparts, etc.) Could it be that Steve Perry rates higher than Journey these days?

Just sayin....

Apparently not, since you're all up here. What, did you guys run out of rare pictures??

Have you taken into account just how many times those pictures were used as duplicates?

Not to mention scanned, pasted to traffic cones and used as dildos.

I don't really care, but I do think it's funny...I was so sick
of hearing...isn't there a SP forum? or that belongs in the JSS
forum...yet, we could talk about, peeing and boogers ANYtime...
no offense to anyone in particular!!!

No one really has a good argument against Andrew's decision, it seems.

I don't want to get banned or I'd lay out a really articulated response to this move.

Nobody knows why Andrew renamed this forum. How can we argue about something we don't know?

me too. give us your argument in favor of journey having a fan forum at the expense of someone else.

Ok...I wrote this in another thread:

This sucks maggot ass. The "Melodicrock Journey Forum" is fucking famous. Andrew, you're taking away the name of the place that you and so many others have made (in)famous, and not even telling us why. While you certainly don't have to tell us why, I think the decision is one that needs to be re-thought. Additionally, "Forum One" sounds like a fucking racing thread. Gay.

[SF-Dano]

Well this is just sad to me. I guess I will be spending my free time somewhere else and just lurk here from time to time. I guess all good things come to an end. The Journey forum had a hell of a run.

I don't have to tell you people jack shit, just as Andrew doesn't have to explain this move to us.

Thanks for that visual. Sad thing is, they probably are using those pictures for such purposes.

Type Journey Forum into google and this thread is the the first thing that pops up. How ironic is that?

This is the ultimate Journey Forum. Don't fight it (it'll do your heart so good). There are more Journey fans here than on any other online forum... that is why Google gave Andrew the coveted #1 position for the phrase "Journey Forum" out of 47,200,000 websites competing for the term. Perry Loons instinctively flock to this forum like the salmon of Capistrano. Jon Cain can come here and read about his maiden name Friga as if it were more important than the name Obama. Plus we have legendary forum members such as JSS, Rockindeano, RipRokken, Stevew, Jeremey, several Journey tribute band veterans - even Laura the author of the Steve Perry biography book. The list goes on and on, not to mention Andrew himself who is a true rock celebrity in his own right.

This will always be the Journey Forum regardless of what it is named. If Andrew is taking votes I say call it Journey Forum. If not, I'll still be here.

Hey, Journey's going to be on Oprah so it's all good, they'll get their hits on their own site now. Everyone can still blog at their place, so it really shouldn't be an issue what's going over here.

Is it blogging or shouting? What the fuck do they do over there anyway?

With all due respect, it's not a flock, just a few dozen regular posters.

Actually, the way the major search engines rank sites is based on link popularity. The more links pointing to a web page from others web pages determines its popularity and search ranking. The anchor text of the inbound links and onsite factors such as metatags determine what search phrase a web page ranks under. That's what I do for a living - help websites increase their search engine ranking.
