why i got the feeling that some comments here(some) are happy that Max Jax is closed???
Interesting how Gaz complained about threads on Max-Jax slandering MJJC, yet, that seems to be exactly what's going on here...
None the less, Max-Jax was a great forum even after MJ's passing. Full of great information and various resources regarding pretty much anything you need to know about MJ. The discussions are far more analyzed and in-depth compared to any other forum I've seen.
The only real problem was the attitude of particular founders. And the mass-banning of the most active members on that site. Easily fixable situation...
I'm glad it's gone. That place was doomed. Bad management, internal and external disputes and power abuse. It was doomed ever since the banning of a large group of members; after that, the forum was ruled with an iron fist and only one opinion was allowed: Michael was a greedy, asexual, hypocritical and psychologically underdeveloped capitalist.

Probably because of the injustice that has been done to some. But again, the forum itself isn't to be blamed, but the people who were behind that injustice and who took the advantage of the power on that forum.
its clear max is your preferred site and you will defend them.
I am not for one minute going to try and sell MJJC over max to you.
I know,i have witnessed some of the banning just like what happened to you....but do you think closing the forum down is the ultimate solution???! i don't think so at all.....any problem can be solved but skipping it isn't the solution...also,we(members of Max Jax) knew of the whole situation too late....the domain owner(smooth-c) make the announcement too late which is wrong,he should have put the announcement right away he closed it and not 4 days after closing down the forum....
When I joined MaxJax I did it because it seemed like a friendly place. It didn't take long to experience the disdain and arrogance of PG and KQ. For that reason, I am not sorry to see it close. I, for one, am not interested in what PG might have to say, based on what I have seen so far in this thread. I just hope that the vitriol does not spill over to MJJC.
However reading some of the recent posts, I worry that we might become embroiled in something nasty. I don't want anyone involving MJJC or complaining about Gaz when this is an issue about the what and why of MaxJax. In short, I don't want to see MJJC become a battleground for MaxJax...
We've had enough stress and turmoil here in the last year.

I've not seen those posts, because I mainly stayed in the Cascio-related threads.I'm going to throw my two cents in here...
I was a registered member of MaxJax, but I didn't visit as often. This is my "home" MJ site, but from time to time I like to pop in on other forums to see different perspectives on MJ news and topics. I can't comment on these bannings since I don't know the whole story. I will say however, that at times I read posts about Michael and his perceived ways that were quite negative and off-putting. I didn't like the vibe I was getting from those kinds of posts. In reading this thread, I see many others felt the same way and so I feel better knowing that it was not just a case of me overreacting.
It is a shame that it has come down to the site closing. I imagine that many of the MaxJax members feel as if they have had a rug yanked out from under them.

I agree with most sentiments posted here. MaxJax was an amazing place in its prime. Openminded discussion, with intelligent arguments and appreciation for Michael's art and talent. But recently all that had gone down the drain, and a small group of individuals started pushing their cynical and negative opinion of Michael on others. Sadly, that group included founders who were not afraid to use their power to push this opinion. I was banned in the wake of the Cascio discussions, and after that I saw discussion on art and legacy dying down and controversy reigning supreme. I miss the old Max Jax and I wish it could come back, after some founders do some SERIOUS soul-searching.

hilarious :lmao:
don't know you are also a sun tzu scholar.
Not long ago I posted a topic on Max called " How Max Jax is treating Michael Jackson " and I started a conversation just like this one. I got few responses from PG and KQ , I must say they were not rude ..but yet very patronizing . I don"t like that attitude. Because someone is the owner of a forum does not make that person a God. There were so many topix I joined , but I was ridiculed by some members. I had a sentence " I am here to serve my Master " under my signature-picture and a certain female member called me pathetic , delusional and problematic ! Dear Lord....it was just a signature !
When we talked about Michael"s love life - oh , that was hillarious.
And I can tell you one thing , many members agreed with me about some thoughts but they were afraid to give me " thanks" , because of the whole atmosfere there.
Like I said....I know that we don"t see and love Michael the same way. But calling someone delusional because a person sees Michael as a sexy man is crazy. Not to mention " drugg adiction and parenting ." Those are very seious issues and should not be taking lightly.
