I totally agree with this. Just our AEG trial section that we had during the trial /6 month period had close to 20,000 posts and 1 Million views. So yeah as far as English based fan clubs goes MJJC is the most active board and has a lot of interesting discussions. MJJC is also still one of the places that maintains an active discussion about what is happening after the trial. As far as I can see (on twitter at least) even the fans who have been highly pro jackson and supportive during the trial have pretty much moved on after the verdict. So I would imagine that if someone still wants to discuss this, MJJC might be place for it.
MJJC also provides substantive information, documentation and facts that can’t be found anywhere else regarding the gifted one.
I agree in general and as far as AEG trial goes yes I had substantive and only to be found here information before and after the trial - such as as far as fans goes I was the only one to report on the new trial request with documents provided. I'll give credit when it's due - during the trial there were other fan sources for trial reporting so that wasn't exclusive to MJJC.
Additionally, it has you, who provides and puts legalese and other sometimes confusing as heck information into concise comprehensible language.
I'll agree with this as well but only to why a person might come to MJJC in general. Not when you have a pro-jackson person who thinks/accuses me of "spin to benefit defense". If that's the case you would actually expect them to be not interested in any information I provide and stick with other sources that they agree with. For example generally speaking - not limited to AEG trial - there are fans out there that I believe to be extremely smart, capable and knowledgeable but also have extreme bias in some topics. Do I use them as an information source? No, not when I believe their bias is clouding their judgment. Similarly if anyone believes that I have an extreme bias in any regard, I would not expect them to use me as a source - especially if there are alternatives.
MJ has been gone nearly five years (which is still hard to even accept for this fan), but there is no board comparable for a diehard Michael Jackson fan, which should never be confused with being a Katherine, Janet, Jermaine, or any other named Jackson fan. That’s a distinction that should NEVER be forgotten.
Not only that but there are also different fan groups with different beliefs in regards to almost any and all topics about MJ and hence the division and separate groups / blogs/sites for the fans. That's why I said there's a lot of choices out there. For a Jackson fan there's Jacksonsource, if you feel strongly about Cascio songs there's ATU, if you think AEG is horrible there's a blog for that and yes there's even not one but two Team Katherine Jackson groups.
So when added together with the claim that the majority outside MJJC agrees with a person, why would that person come to a minority group of people that disagrees with them? I mean for example I don't believe in death hoax and you will never ever see me as a member on a hoax forum arguing with the hoax believers that hoax isn't real. Because such behavior would be really unproductive IMO. Unless of course there's a intent of going there to create a discord I guess. I don't want to make assumptions and that's why I'm genuinely interested in why.
Just think, it was our board which Juror#27 graced with insights and knowledge about the civil trial.
Absolutely and I'm so glad that he gave us all the insights that he did. I'm sure that he didn't foresee that people would blog or make videos about his statements and twist what he said.

I'm quite proud about Q&A with Walgren too That being said I had no plans to do any Q&A's in regards to AEG civil trial. So Juror#27 was a nice and priceless surprise.
