Agog is my good friend. I have met him twice in person, I respect him greatly, I'm confortable talking with him, and I trust his judgement. I really want him to be an admin and help me. I can't convince him because of a problem he had with johnnyb on Amazon Revisted. I don't care about that so I'd like to hear from members. What do you think of Agog being an admin? If Agog is made an admin he cannot ban anyone by himself except spammers. I want to make that clear. If you have any other members you would like to recomend post it here. A spammer is someone who joins just to try to sell something. They are easily spotted. We don't allow that here. Rick, get your facts straight before you throw someone under the bus, agog and I never had any issues over at Amazon revisited. Good ole agog might not like some of the things I post but other then that we haven't had any problems with one another. The problems were with other posters who complained to SoCal about agog deleting their posts which lead to him being booted as an administrator. |

Johnny, I didn't mean to "throw you under the bus." I thought you were complaining that Agog deleted your posts. I'm sorry. I don't think something that happened over there has anything to do with over here. I trust Agog.

I think what transpired over there has left agog with a bad taste is his mouth and one of the reasons he wants no part of this thankless job over here. |

Rick:
I do hope that Agog considers your plea for help from him as part of the Admin Group. He is a frequent poster and fair in judgement. I really don't mind that he is as old as dirt that cannot be carbon dated or that an age number greater than infinity has not yet been found.
If he agrees and you just dust him off a little he should function quite well.
That's my 2cents worth (CDN $)

Just to let anyone know that cares. I am back to about 90 percent. Chris however is having some major surgeries. We still check in, just not every day.
We vote for agog.

I am sorry to hear of your family's illnesses, and I hope that they will soon be behind both of you. I also like agog, even his self-deprecating humor, although he could go a little easier on himself.

Agog has the same vision for this forum that I do. We want a happy, fun, harmonious forum where Jackie fans can talk with each other about Jackie. Paul (Agog) is my good friend and I know he won't let us down. He said he would post something here later today so I am waiting.
Everybody calm down, take a deep breath, and know that if I didn't trust Paul I wouldn't have made him an admin.

IMO you shouldn't make statements like the one above unless you believe in it 100%, you an agog are going to be labelled as hypocrites as you behave one way here then you head over to Jackie Amazon and tell it like you really believe. |

Everybody calm down, take a deep breath, and know that if I didn't trust Paul I wouldn't have made him an admin. Ok. I guess it's time for me to say something. My default position is: I like Jackie Evancho. She sings real good. I like this forum too. It's modeled after the old JEFC and the later proboards forum set up by the Evanchos. It's a FAN site. FUBU. Don't expect any noticeable changes. I'm merely a new, additional moderator to an already well and lightly moderated forum. I join the other fans here in wishing J.R. Chico and his daughter Chris speedy recoveries from their medical issues. Sounds like J.R. is doing well but will be busy with two young grandkids and their ailing mom. Chris may be out of forum circulation for a bit longer. Get well kiddo. We'll all be happy to see you back here. A woman's hand on the tiller will be missed. One impetus for this Open Letter to Rick Olsen was the poor behavior displayed in the shoutbox. Members were getting carried away with the name calling. Several members noticed one fan's tendency to be overly protective of Jackie. They noticed he was quick to respond with both barrels whenever he thought Jackie was slighted. That member's name calling was/is unacceptable. Equally at fault though are the several members who would knowingly aggravate him, ringing Pavlov's bell to enjoy the involuntary reaction. I'll work with ol' "shotgun" Ron by PM. I have a affinity for a fellow war vet. Everyone knows his heart is in the right place. Let's keep the shout box a light and friendly place, inviting to any newcomers who might drop in after finding (or refinding) Jackie. Another factor many of us have noticed is the falling away of longtime true Jackie fans. Ben is the most recent I can bring to mind but there are several others that I already mentioned in the opening post of this thread. Come on home Jackie fans. Help make this site better with your return. It would also be great to see some old names from the older, deleted forums, find this site. We fans are undergoing a slow time in Jackie's career. Who knows how long it will last. I am confidant Jackie can have a lifelong career if she wants it. I'm also confident Jackie can step up the pace of her career anytime SHE decides to do so. Jackie has a truly extraordinary gift in "that voice." She also has amazing interpretive and harmony skills. My question is "What's wrong with the world?" Are they deaf? In the meantime, let's have a place, here, where fans can be fans in the company of other fans. Be kind to each other. |

I am glad you are here to help Rick, together I believe you guys can make this a better fan forum. If you do some of the fans that have left may be lured back. And no doubt other fans of Jackie may decide to join. Plus the fans who are here will be more likely to recommend it to their friends if it actually becomes a fan site they are proud of. Edit to correct typo 'my' to 'may' |

Good to hear from you again - since you still "check in" occasionally, post something once in awhile to let us know you've been here and are still around! |
