MJJCommunity Announcement - June 25th

[souldreamer7]

I like the ideal of closing everything but a memorial section.

Gaz whatever you & the mjjc staff decide is fine

Having the memorial section open is a nice gesture though

[windy09]

Gaz, I support the decision by you and the team of closing down the forums as you described. Also to close down the forum completely at the time of Michael's transition honors Michael with integrity and respect. The pain is still very deep and perhaps even deeper after 3 years. After all the work and research, I understand even more what we lost on that terrible day. I know Michael is with each and everyone of us. He knows how much we love him and miss him. It is even more important today that we continue to protect and honor Michael's legacy and that we do it with L.O.V.E. I am sending you all a major LOVE. <3

I am not able to view the poll with the iPhone app (Tapatalk) so this is my way of voting.

Love and light,
Kim

Just for June 25th? I have no problem for MJJCommunity to be shut down for the day. That way I can focus on my MJ Marathon I wanted to like I did for last couple of years. I'll start from Noon until 3:00 am for the Marathon.

Closing down the whole forum but one thread would be the best option in my opinion, if it's even possible to only have one thread open. And maybe close even that one thread for the time from when the medics were called until Michael was declared gone... Hmm, does anyone else feel extremely uncomfortable at the mere thought of it?

[Nonoka]

To be honest, I'm against it. It would just make the day worse - I don't know how other people can deal with this event, but for example, I like to "escape" in the picture threads, watching countless pics of Michael. I did this on the 1st anniversary and it made me feel good, because it helped me realizing that at least we HAD him and he's still alive in the memories of everyone.

I don't know how to describe it best, but if just the memorial section stays open, this tragic event would be too imminent for me, too "in your face". The other sections (beside the trial & controversy section) are full of happy memories of Michael, they're bringing light into the dark.
If we would close those sections for that day, the day would become darker, at least for me.

Dear Members,

To mark June 25th 2012 the three year anniversary of the passing of Michael Jackson, MJJCommunity will be closing all forums bar our dedicated remembrance forum for a period of 24 hours,

We did this on year one and I for one as do my team feel this is the only and right way to honour this sad day.

Once the 24 hour period is over we will re open all forums and leave the remembrance forum for a set period of two weeks before that will then be archived in our history section.

I am also contemplating shutting MJJC completely at the time Michael passed away for a minutes silence, although this is undecided due to possible orchestrating issues at this given time.

We thank you for your understanding and feel you will agree this is the only befitting way we his fans and the MJFam can and should honour Michael's memory.



Kind regards

Gaz and the MJJC Team

I voted YES...

A fitting tribute... For June 25, ONLY the 'remembrance' forum open

I won't be ON LINE though... I'll with Michael and my friends in BEST...

THANKS for your and RESPECTFUL way of HONOURING Michael

Daryll.

[Rhilo]

I voted yes, for Michael

[helena22]

I voted yes, not because I'm against having everything open as usual.
I just think opening only the rememberance forum is kind of appropriate for the very day, if not a few days before nor after.

[earthlyme]

I voted yes. I am cutting of online and phones for the day and just spend time @ home with Mike...(DVD's, books, magazines...) it makes it a little bit better for me to do that instead of watching YT vids. or coming to the MJJC since i'll again be emotional... it has taken a toll on me the past few days just realizing that it'll be 3 years this Monday since we lost Michael , and only want to believe that he has found peace...

Thankyou for this Gaz


L.o.v.e.

[MIST]

I voted yes,but I would like to have access to the Majorloveprayer thread too.
I think Majorloveprayer is very important for many of us and especially june 25

[0o0jackie0o0]

this has my full support
Thanks Gaz

[Boggy]

I would say close all the forums/site except the one in Remembrance so that fans can gather, share and get support if needed.

[mier]

Everything closed but the remembrance forum, like a lot of people already said.
Would be very fitting and respectfull.

But whatever you'll decide to do, I wish everybody the best for tomorow.

[Love.him]

Will we be able to PM each other?
