Portland -

1. What's your name?

2. Have we seen a pic of you yet?

3. Is your avatar a statement on how you feel about the cheerleader, or just put in here for humor as Football season starts?

Jubilee wrote:I voted "Yes". After all, how can you have a site called "Melodic Rock" and NOT have a forum dedicated to the one band whose name is synonymous with melodic rock? Now, will it remain pristine and 100% on topic? C'mon, Andrew, you know us better than that - but we can certainly make the effort. Clearly, Journey forum numbers are a bit skewed by the addition of (waaay) off-topic threads about people's pets (almost) dying, peoples vacations, people getting sunburned, peoples wayward spouses, etc., and it would be interesting to be able to gauge just how much REAL Journey discussion is really going on.

Having a catch-all "Water Cooler" forum may resolve this issue (although I doubt it). :wink: :lol:
It would die quickly,Journey by itself aint all that interesting

Nope...And apparently we will not be as well....I did however find out her parents from some strange reason named her Portland. All this time I thought is was a screen name for the MR message boards.

When you start at the front page you can hit the link to the forums but there isn't one to click on to go to the front page of the site if you start in the forums.
Both can be bookmarked of course to readily go to it but it would be more convenient if there was a link to the front page from here to easily click on instead of backtracking or having to have both earmarked. Just wondering.


I do think a more accessible link to the forums from the front page would make it easier, and attract more attention to the boards. I know it's currently a "Quick Link", but with general resolution settings you have to scroll down a bit to get to it. I'd place a second link somewhere near the upper-left corner of the page -- maybe a graphic with a link attached to draw attention to it.

Here, Andrew could simply just make your MR logo a clickable link back to the main site page -- that would be easy and cool.


Thats what I was thinking too. Just make the existing logo clickable to go to the front page. In fact, I tried clicking on it a long time ago thinking it may work to do that.

Finally you basically admit that despite Andrew's 6,000 warnings you never had any intention of staying on topic and heeding his wishes but rather using the Journey board as your own personal playground and Cain gay joke board.
In the Journey forum, Journey to you is a "side note" to your perseonal amusement and the board is all about the lengednary comedic and fascinating personalities who fill this place with scintillating posts.

You've won, you got this board at the top so why bitch about a separate band forum down the totem pole? Back when the board was in its REAL heyday when we had 20 or so people who talked, even brawled about JOURNEY ask Andrew how many lurkers the place had who read this thing all the time because they had real opinions to read and stuff they didn't know about the band.

Don't get me wrong, Steve I actually like it when you talk about the Augeri era records and tours I just have to sort through 5 Cain gay jokes and 4 posts about Carla's rack to get to something of substance.
I wonder if now despite this "great" mix of personalities and off topic bullshit you love the overall readership is down


This is my feeling, too. One water cooler at the top for those who enjoy bs'ing each other and then a Journey forum combined with Perry below that... It just makes the most sense and would be easier for you to control I would think Andrew... When I first joined, the Journey forum was pretty much that--talk about Journey with a lot of discussion going on at that time. I learned a lot of things about them and music in general.

It makes it tougher to keep up with your threads without having to bounce back and forth so much.

As it is, I post most of my band or artist topics here regardless of whether that band/artist has their own forum or not. It's just easier, and I know this one gets the most traffic.

I wasn't really for separating out the Steve Perry section from the Journey section either, since he is a huge part of Journey history. But I can understand wanting to create a separate Journey forum which is all on-topic, and having a catch-all place for OT stuff like this one is. At most, I'd go with creating the separate Journey forum but add Steve Perry back into it. Maybe call it Journey / Steve Perry if you had to. Just keep it as simple as possible.

I completely agree. Look at the Foreigner/Lou Gramm board or Mr. Big/Eric Martin, etc. They're grouped just as Perry should be grouped with Journey.
