I just wanted to take the time to thank you for setting these forums up. I like the forumat, and capability of the bbs software you chose. I feel handicaped when I can't post smilies. Many of my posts are serious sillyness and cannot be appreciated without smileys.

Thanks again!

Well thanks Mike. That means more to me than you know. Well you have some smilies here to keep your fix happy and I'll be adding more in due course.

:D It's so nice to be appreciated.

Just need some more members now...spread the word!

Hey everyone,
This is a great forum and looks like it is going to do very well. l like all the smilies and other stuff. I hope we can get a lot of people who posted on the old jeweljk forum to join this one. I miss everyone. :( I signed up for unedited mainly for the media and tickets and it is such a bummer about having to pay for a forum. Once we get some polls going, rumors started, and silly conversations between members, this place will feel just like the old forum.

comment on guestbook on my site......

hey MR.CC......michaelsjewel - i'm already registered silly....and no this is not micheal (the dutch jewel fan) - this is michael (the american running michaelsjewel.com fansite ) by the way, did we all think micheal from the dutch jewel fan site disappeared????no, he's working under jewelgaller.nu now - consider this my update to help fellow webmasters.

also, american jewel fan, i hope i can help out some. i've already made the forum link on my site that used to be linked to the official site - now it's linked to this forum. when i get the time to do heavy promotion of the new michaelsjewel -(yaw - i'm changing my site as well) - i'll have to do some heavy promotion even more on jewel promotion michaelsjewel.com style. i haven't any clue what to do, so far i've done rating links based on updates, content, etc. and this should hopefully get more webmasters to update their sites. i'm also thinking about creating some new content as to buddy icons, or little images designed specifically for forums, and/or messengers. we'll see what's to come from jewel in 2005 - and no i'm not advertising my site - i consider this a sense of reflection - all jewel sites promote jewel one way or another, i just do it this way - even this forum. i would also like to say congrats to the people spreading the word of this forum - agree that i shouldn't have to pay for a forum - thats why i'm still not an unedited member. i also think it's bull that you have to be on unedited to hear audio snippets, and video clips of jewel's work that has been released! one thing i just recalled, we can't even get lyrics on jeweljk.com anymore without being on unedited......what's next, they not even going to give us jewel news without signing up? but then again, what jewel news have the given so far? enough about this - i've got college work to do. :mooner: < this smiley is hilarious! -michael (not to be confused with the micheal from the dutch fansite aka jewel gallery.nu - this is michael from michaelsjewel.com - this reminds me of what justin did on ASPCJ lol)

:muhaha: I can't believe people think that you're Michiel (his name has 2 I's, by the way ;)). When the Prez posted that thread on the jeweljk forum, I was highly confused and thought I was out of the loop somewhere, but nope, he just got the 2 of you mixed up :lol:

Speaking of your site, I think it'd be cool if you did make icons and such. I'm sure there are plenty of people who would use them for message boards, messengers and online journals (LiveJournal (the site that started all these blogs), DeadJournal, GreatestJournal, Blurty, Xanga...), I know I would :) It seems almost impossible to find any that are really good. Keep in mind that the size limit for icons on most journals is 100x100, so anything over that won't fit.

Anyway...

be on unedited to hear audio snippets, and video clips of jewel's work that has been released![/b]

They may put some on jeweljk later, you never know what they plan to do yet. Looking at the questionaire, though, I think they will eventually put some up.

We can't on Unedited either. But, did they have lyrics on the old site when 0304 was released (before FansRule)? I honestly don't remember, so that's why I asked.

what's next, they not even going to give us jewel news without signing up?[/quote]
I highly HIGHLY doubt that will happen. If you look at the official sites for the other artists they do (Dave Matthews Band, Shania Twain, Kenny Chesney, Britney Spears and Usher), you'll see that they all have news and other content. I know it's a pain, but you Just have to give it some time.

Michael:

Oops. :o I did have you confused with that other Michael who spells his name different. God bless America dude. My real name is Michael too, and I know how to spell Michael. Everybody always has to ask me is it "ae" or "ea"? I like your site. Michael! I especially like that you take space to post links and promote other Jewel Fan sites. I've always been a big fan of fans's sharing fan sites with other fans. :P

Is that photo site the Dutch Michiel or another Dutch fan? Just curious. In either case they have the largest online Jewel photo collection I've ever found. Quite impressive and nicely organized.

Angel Eyes, I agree with you too. they should have content on www.jeweljk.com. It's called promotion. Even if it's just up to date photos it promotes the artist. Give some sample songs and that's even better. In some articles I read Fansrule was all about creating a new source of money by making the loyal fans pay big bucks for tickets and backstage passes. When they took over that was the point the prices went up and the content went down. The founder and president of Fansrule is a music producer and venture capitalist who still owns many businesses. One of the businesses he owns is called "In The Pocket Productions" - as in that's where the money went. He leveraged Fansrule and ended up driving it bankrupt, but he's still a very rich man. Many Christina fans spent hundreds on tickets and will likely have to wait two or three years for the bankruptcy courts to tell them they get no refund. Anyway, that's all old news. Some are tired of hearing about it, but I find it interesting.

Anyway, things are looking up. The glass is half full after all.

well...thanks american girl fan - glad to see i've helped at least one person... and mr cc...it's ok - i just thought it was hilarious. yah....what is with people that spell it the micheal way? u know, michael's a very popular name and people always got confused even where i live on how it should be spelled....i'm like - just remember michael jordan.... or michael jackson(though right now michael jackson isn't really a good name to choose) lol :shock: ttyl


i almost forgot to mention..... michiiel or however it's spelled (the dutch jewel fan) is now working with jewelgallern.nu....... jewelgallery.nu isn't his creation, rather they finally merged - that's where all of the new content of stuff is coming from in their new design. it was sad, during the past few months before the big update, all the photos were the same image and i thought jewelgallery was going down, i was like ....NOOOOOO - thank goodness it's here to stay :)

Yea, Michael Jackson. What I want to know without hijacking the thread is what kind of a parent sends their sons over to Michael Jackson's house after all the publicity he's gotten? And who are these "fans" that flock to the courthouse to see Michael Jackson? I mean even if you think he is innocent, wouldn't it be wise to wait until the trial is over to cheer and make all that noise?

I heard one of his attorneys on TV arguing that it was OK to have porn all over his housewhere kids can see it, becasue it could be legally purchased.

I hope they lock him up for years. :angry:

Yep, it looks great :clapjoy: :D Can't wait to see some more, if you plan on making others :)

Hey, how about making a thread sharing graphics and such? It'd be cool to see what everyone can do, if you guys are good at the sort of stuff. Just a thought :)

As for the whole "Michael" thing... my older brother is named Michael also. The thing is though, my mom didn't know how to spell it at the time so she wrote "Micheal" on his birth certificate :lol: We all spell it the right way now, regardless of the misspelling. I'm sure none of you care :P
