I'm with Woody on this. I've seen topics where there was a gap of 2 years between posts and it's really disjoint and hard to follow..the earlier comments are either outdated or out of synch by then.

Ditto on the thread issue.

Thanks,

Jessy J — Congratulations on your first top-30 hit in Radio and Records Magazine, "Tequila Moon." Album hits stores in March!

we've been discussing the suggestions...

1. We will post some simple guidelines. Mostly to re-iterate the policies which everyone agreed to when they registered - no advertising, no pyramid schemes, no harassment, etc.

we will also post suggestions - no spamming is a good example. Also how to search and to use other BBS functions, such as quoting and how to post images.

2. We will open a forum dedicated to Contemporary Jazz Reviews and News from those of us who have publications, reviews, websites - generally anyone who has taken their interest in c-jazz beyond super fan. This will be a place where we can all go to look up reviews and news.

The Contemporary Jazz Forum should be dedicated to word of mouth and buzz from interested fans who want to discuss their impressions of music. This is grassroots buzz from people who are passionate about the music and want to share their personal excitement.

Of course, when they read a review - they are welcome to post in the review threads.

Watch for the new forum and guidelines over the next couple of days.

thanks Kat-

I think the separate forum for the new releases will help de-clutter the cjazz forum, while still allowing a place for the promotion of the artists we like to follow.

Works for me, so long as it's clear what the rules are, and everybody here agrees to the terms and conditions.

Thanks for the time and hard work.

I moved some of the January (and previous) posts into the new forum.

yeah, I can tell Kat- thanks!

You'll probably have to continue to do it until we're all "trained" to go to the other forum, but this is definitely a step in the right direction.

Wow, I spend a few days off and y'all remake the place.
Good job!
