JAMCRUISE fb Group: Knut you are gonna LOVE THIS!

MissAslan · **Posted:** Thu Aug 02, 2012 7:32 pm

So, the evil fb has yet again changed our user experience without notification or even a Help page explanation...
Bottom line, I do not see "Group Chat" available.. anyone know anything about this? The ONLY reason I have the JAMCRUISE fb group is for live chat.. I think I'm gonna kill the group and tell everyone to come here ... LIKE THEY SHOULD HAVE ALL ALONG.. unless someone knows about an enhancement to fb on the horizon RE: chat?

JCMB is only as good as its member... And this is the hot minute of nothing coming to light..
Would anyone care if this forum went away?

FB (like Myspace before it and possibly Twitter or Google + being next) is a fad, Jam Cruise is not. We have to keep the board active.

I lurk on the forum every single day, sometimes 2x a day. I always forget about the FB page!

FB was down under $20 for a few minutes on Friday. Just saying...

As absurd a question as "Are you going on Jamcruise?" :SNOOTY:

Well it finally hit the fan. I got a threat from FB that they would force me onto that timeline shit and if I don't like it I can pack my shit and leave. They gave me until Aug 14. Choice was easy. So no it's all Forum, peeps!
My FB account is now dormant. You can still message me, but why would you when you have the same function here. Just saying...

I check the forum pretty regular for new bands and interesting posts. I think there are lots of lurkers around like me. FB is what it is but it's not like the forum in one big way ... for Jamcruisers only. The forum or the JC website could add a live chat very easily if wanted. I might particiate in live chat a bit more than I do the forum, but I like my lurker status and since I am only attending JC11 in spirit this year, just been watching the forum with envy.

Peace!

Yes live chat, embed Vimio, embed HTML, allow flash, upgrade to phpBB 3. Imagine the possibilities!

I didn't even notice a threat, I was pretty much informed that I now had the timeline feature. Whatever, I'm here to stay. FB is now like the Magic 8 Ball, I know what is in there but damned if I can get it to show me what I want.

Add Flash and a socket server and you could recreate the MSC Poesia online complete with rooms ... zebra bar .. jam room .. pool deck ... etc. It could allow for 3D characters as well as full character navigation of the virtual ship. Might as well think big! :idea:

Liking it. A virtaul JC. The cyber-jam cruise. Let's make it a game. You get a new life in the bar. You lose one in the pizza bar. The objective is to find musicians and herd them into the jamroom. If you can get them all in there without anyone escaping you get a free jamcruise.
