Latest on MJJC

How did you come to MJJC?

I joined on a high after Michael announced This Is It. I wanted to find a place where I could talk and share in the excitement of the event with other fans. And here I am :)
 
I'm a member on a forum and Snorlaaax, who's a member there as well, told me about MJJC and that it was such a cool board.
So I decided to sign up, since I thought it was about time to share some feelings here too after all that happened.

Though I remember endin' up on this board/website sometimes, when I was searching for MJ info and stuff.
 
I was a wreck after his death. A couple of weeks passed, and I was still a wreck. I couldn't talk to family or friends, because they were telling me to get over it after the first few days. They just didn't understand. I knew there were places on the net where others felt the grief, confusion and longing as much as I did. I checked out several places through google, but this site is by far the best IMO.
 
I registered at the official forum on michaeljackson.com first, because I needed to share my excitement about TII. Then I've read a post by Moonstreet saying we should rather come to MJJC instead of this page (or something similiar, I don't want to quote her/you wrong). I signed up but just lurked, because I couldn't follow, it was such a big place, I was a bit overburden lol So I stayed at the official and a german one. But obviously I posted a few messages meanwhile ;)

That's pretty much my story too...I was constantly googling Michael, and it wasn't even forums I was looking for, but no matter what, MJJC was always there, so I decided to check it out, and joined almost right away! I'm so glad I did!
 
I'm an MJNO refugee, which was hard because I had just started to feel like "one in the gang" @ MJNO when it got shut down.
At first I didn't want to register anywhere else because it takes a couple of months before you feel at home and people accept you - but I decided to register here later on, and there you go :)
Man if you only knew how scared I was to post in the beginning :lol: - I wanted to give a good impression.

It's so strange that it wasn't until 2007 that it kind of dawned upon me that "wow, there might be some Michael Jackson forums on the internet?!" :lol: (I've been a fan for like 18 years)

Miss Shayla (MJStarlight) linked me here during her video project she was making for Michael's birthday this year. I joined a couple days later because I missed Michael soooo much and just wanted somewhere to be a haven where I could talk about him amongst others who felt the same way I did. :heart:

So glad I joined. Love you guys...and thank you Shayla!!

aww your welcome!!! :hug: and that was so random too! I was looking for people on youtube to be a part of the video and I must have selected about 5 people off youtube from typing in MJ tributes in the search bar lol.
Im soooo glad I wrote you!!!! You have been such a blessing to this community!!! :)

As for me, I joined MJJF in August 2003 after watching The Jackson an American Dream on VH1. It was the first online community I ever joined. I joined basically to wish Michael a happy birthday and see if any fan projects were going on. I came over to MJJC when MJJF was closed. Spent over 6 years here, met some amazing people, and I've learned so much, Im just so proud to be a fan. :yes:

l.o.v.e. to you all!!!! MJ fans are truely the best! :clapping:

that's what amyzabeth did... i think.
we weren't sure if we should get back to fan forums.
so we end up lurking as guests for awhile here.

then we finally decided to join...I registered as Leah[CIM] but i never got my activation mail.. or it might have ended up in my junk mails... haha

Even so i was a lurker after MJ's napping... til some parts of the forum were blocked and i wanted to read stuff from the investigation unit.

So here i am..

so amyabeth is why i am here.
blame it on her lol.
 
Think I came here by accident. I was on a John Mayer forum for a few years, and the people there were really brutal and cut-throat to newbies...and just in general. You had to earn your stripes in that forum...which I did, but never really felt comfortable there.

I think it just crossed my mind that there might be an MJ forum around in late 2007 and I found this place. I never posted until '08 though, so I had been lurking for at least 3 months before I had the balls to post something.

I've been here ever since! I love this place.
 
I was buzzing with excitment due to the chance Mike was going to do more concerts, saw gaz on sky news and said mjjcommunity so joined then and been hooked since
 
I was a member at MJNO, i think i was about 15 years old then. I never was an indoor person so i barely used the computer and hardly posted anything. Then one day i tried logging in and found the site was gone. :( I never knew they had this one up. Then after michael`s passing i was on facebook one day. And I was on the Michael Jackson page where i wrote some pretty heart felt feelings for him. And then a member, i think her name was Julia Tiersney emailed me and said to join MJJC or Max Jax. I guess after reading my comment there she knew i was grieving alone. So i followed the link and i here i am. Thanks to Julia. If you are reading this, you did me a huuge favour.
 
After Michael's passing my sister, both of us shocked and saddened, sent me a link to this forum. I lurked for quite a while until I felt it was the right time for me to register and make my first post. It was a tough time to join, in the midst of such grief among the fans but I'm glad I did. It helped me a lot because elsewhere on the web I was getting negative and insensitive comments about Michael from people who didn't understand how hard it hit me. Here there was none of that.
 
I knew I needed support after Michael's passing, so I googled Michael Jackson forums and I saw one, registered, and never got a confirmation or permission, not that I even waited that long. Then I found this forum. I'm sure glad I did.

LOL...same here...never realised that until a few years ago. :doh:
 
My account was transferred from MJNO to MJJC. Or is this account from MJJF? I don't remember. *looks at join date* Probably from MJJF...but I barely posted there.
 
After Michael's death I felt like I needed to talk to other fans so I just googled "MJ Forum" and this was the first link so there you have it :D It's always awkward when joining a forum and takes a while to get used to things but I was welcomed with open arms by all the members here. That's what makes MJJC the best, it's members. :yes:

I've been a huge fan of Michael's since I was 6 - losing him just came as a real body blow - up until the memorial service I was on autopilot, but afterwards it really hit me...I figured there had to be some sort of support network for fans who had no one to talk to about how they were feeling and needed an outlet. I literally googled "emotional support for Michael Jackson fans" on 10th July, and it brought me to the support thread at MJJC.....

What?? That thread was visible on google?
 
I was never in any communities before MJ died. Didn't feel a need to be honestly. But after he died, I felt kind of lost. Disconnected. Then at some point I decided to join a community to try to connect with other fans, which would also allow me to feel connected to MJ again. This was the first community I found when I did a Google search. So I joined, and glad I did. :)
 
A few years ago, like 8 or 9, I joined two spanish forum and was very active and comfortable there, however, after Michael's passing the atmosphere changed completely and didn't feel like posting anymore there, most of the people were very rude, so I just registered in some english forums and stayed in this one 'cause everyone was very kind. I wish I could have registered here and not in the spanish forums when I became a fan.
