Latest on MJJC

I knew this would happen eventually

This seems like a fairly active site so I doubt seriously that this place will go away. It's ok to take breaks from time to time. A lot of times I come here just to browse and read. Life will always go on no matter what and Michael will live forever in our hearts :wub:

To be honest, I believe eventually Michael Jackson communities such as MJJC will dissapear.

For now, the fans need to be here. I too, need to be here because as long as I come here, Michael's not gone. He is here, everywhere. We talk about him, we post pictures, we post multimedia.....but eventually it will hit us that Michael really is gone, and then what?

What I think everyone should do is gather the people you want to keep in touch with around you. Ask for their email, msn, yahoo, aim or skype usernames and try to keep in touch with them that way if any of these sites dissapear.

I know that in time, I too will dissapear off these sites. Not completely, I will check in once in a while to see how people are doing, but I won't be active anymore. I've been active for years, when Michael was still with us. But now, it hurts me to come here. It hurts to see everyone here, so lost, posting away -because what else do we do now? We're all searching for a sollution - and frankly I just don't know if I can deal with it.

Now I have tears in my eyes...because you're right...
He's gone...but I still can't realize..cause it's so unreal, everyone talks about him, news etc..
I'm afraid of what will come in about 1-2 years..:no:

But I won't leave this forum or any other forum...because that would hurt more.
 
I have actually allways considered taking a break from Michael. Could you imagine not listening to all of his songs and watching his performances and coming back to that again!?

lol exactly. nothing in the world inspires me more than him, so why kill the inspiration?
 
I don't want this site to close down ... ever.
I love it here, although i totally understand your situation about kind of wanting to ease down a little, i feel like i need to be a part of this place to continually be connected to him, and although i can do this autonomously, it is so much richer with his fans who understand and love him the way i do.
Good luck if you decide to eventually leave, hopefully you'll be bale to come back here anytime, i certainly hope so since i adore this place so much.

i dont like forums suddenly shutting
that happened to the one on michaeljackson.com and it was horrible, (although it is back up now)
and this site is amazing, its always got like all the facts etc if you get what i mean :)

That was awful when it closed...I felt so lost and alone :(

I don't think this site will die ever, I hope it doesn't anyway.

Alot of fans need this place. I know it sounds silly but when I come here, I feel like he is still alive :cry:
 
Im sure the fan forums will eventually disappear.. but not today, not tomorrow and not even in 5 years time. Elvis has been dead for decades and even he fan forums and active websites.

Difference is that those artists who died since long ago, feel ''dead'', like they are icons who have passed away and we try to keep their memory alive...

MICHAEL JACKSON... however... still feels like he is alive.... Maybe it hasnt passed enough time yet.. But I feel like he is still alive with us.. Maybe I will feel about Michael as I do with Elvis Presley in about 30 years.. but at the moment it feels no different.

Yep! Also, think of it this way...
Maybe this was Michael's "way" of telling us to go on with our OWN lives from now on, like:
"Hey, don't rely so much on me anymore to fill in your life, it is not healthy you know. I love you always and I know you do too, but you have to continue the journey without me from now on. Until of course we meet again! But from this moment, the journey bcomes your own."

Brilliant post..:) I have been sad yes, I have been yelling at the tv when they say stuff that I hope is not true, when they talk bad about Michael, when they say things that I know are just that lies. it is only now that I have become increasing sad and overwhelmed with this. there is a difference between yelling at a tv and being mad to actually crying and feeling oh so sad. It maybe because I know that the tox reports are due out soon and I maybe I dont want to hear what it might say, Even though in my heart of heart I believe that Michael was murdered. I would have to and dont think at this moment that I could except anything but murder. I am just feeling devastated.
 
I completely undertsand the poster... I was half obsessed before he passed and slowly I've felt myself trying to distance myself away from anything Michael related. It's like... ok, Mike ain't here anymore... what's the point of coming back here sometimes? But this place is so cool, and the fans here are so awesome, and overall the community is a haven so... it's a mixed bag.
 
You know...when my father died, my grandma and I had totally different responses: she surrounded herself with pictures, items that belonged to my dad all the time, while on the other hand I couldn't even LOOK at any of his old pictures. It was too much to bear. So I just avoided anything around my dad or anything that would remind me of him. I still do (maybe to a lesser extent) up to this day. I thought this was abnormal but then I learnt that's it's much more common than I thought and that I shouldn't feel guilty! I have now managed to cope quite well without him (it's been almost 4 years now) BUT it doesn't mean I have forgotten about him. I just go on normally with my daily life again.

That's why I'm afraid his fans will eventually wither away. That scares the hell out of me. I don't see why that should be a reason for you to leave, and I don't see why you so feel you need to live your life 'without michael'. But anyway, you do what you gotta do.

I KNOW!
ME TOO!!
I don't want people to stop coming here. =/

I was never an Elvis fan, so that's part of it, but I have to say that the Elvis worship since his death has always seemed sort of creepy/morbid to me ... this feels different, but when people (Jermaine, for example) talk about Neverland in a way that suggests it could become something like Graceland, it feels wrong ...

exactly. i see this community as a product of Michael's (I dare say) TEACHINGS. you know, it was like he was a mentor to us,and it's amazing to know that here you can meet people who actually think like you, love the same things you do, and understand what it is like to be you...

we are here, we are all different, but yet all the same... we are the world. and Michael is our bond that will never cease being.

Exactly.

Also, it was much easier to be a fan of Michael's autonomously when he was still alive. Now that he is no longer with us, I feel the constant need to reach out to fellow fans, and I don't want to lose that. I think we need each other more now than before.

i DONT SPEND MY LIFE ON FAN FORUMS, BUT I LIKE HAVING A PLACE TO EXPRESS MY LOVE FOR THE ONE I ADMIRE THE MOST AND MY BIGGEST MUSE, but if they disapear, who knows, the world might desappear as well, you know, the worls is becoming a crazy place full of rare deseases, i dont know, i just know i do whatever i want whenever i want.
 
I've been thinking about this more and more over the last few days too. I feel like I'm getting to the point where coming here isn't good for me anymore. All the different conspiracy theories and stuff...it's driving me crazy in a way. The reality is setting in for me now. While I want people to have to pay for what they did to Michael, I almost don't even care because Michael's gone. Nobody can bring him back. I don't want to think about what happened...I dunno. I just feel like shutting it all out now. It's too much. I think I might have to just start getting on with my own life too. It devastates me to think this is the end, but I think it's a natural progression. :(

I'm think about taking a Michael-hiatus. This has just become too much for me in the past month and I need a break. Now that all of the news is starting to die down, and I'm become more accepting of the situation, I might as well just get on with my life. Without Michael. these fan sites are great, but being that Michael is dead means there is not much more to discuss. So there for I may not be on here as much if not ever.

When Michael first died I was obsessed with this board. I needed to reach out to people like me for moral support. This was the worst thing to ever happen in my life, and at first, I didn't think I would make it through. But now comes another chapter in my life that I need to carry on. Without my Michael.

I will love him forever, his legacy will never be forgotten.:angel:

A break sounds great. It's been hard for all of us. I'm sure you know what is best for you.

But I respectfully disagree that "there is not much more to discuss". I think there will be some good (like new songs) and some bad (like his assassination) things to discuss.

All the best!

Agree.

Quite good post.

Hard to accept but maybe true...

We have to be healthy, detach, get on with our lives and feel positive about ourselves and be "strong".. I think. I feel.
 
For me its like, if we let go of our connection with each other and MJ fan forums then its like letting go of Michael and I don't think I ever wanna do that.

I don't know whats gonna happen but I'm just not ready for all this to be over, it still does'nt seem to me like MJ is truly gone.....it feels to me like when he was away after the trial we would go months and months without a word about him.
 
I come here every few hours in case an unreleased song leaked or in case there is new news surrounding the release of this is it footage or unreleased audio.

Yea, it's like if you detach from fans, it someohow feels like others have forgotten him.

I completely understand you, I tried to 'leave' this forum few days ago but with no success, I feel obsessed and obligated to talk about Michael even more now to 'find out the truth' and to know what really happend before I can close the chapter and move on with myself... Its really taking hard on me.. Because in a way Im in denial that the man is actually gone as long as I keep discussing and talking about him.. But as soon as I go off and do other things and look at the memorial service it all hits me..

you said my feelings exactly...:(

I know what you mean because I have felt the same way...things will come out with time and no one will have to assume anything on his passing.
The truth will come out..
Much love to you and stay strong!:)
 
I've been here since 2003, I love to be here because I love Michael!
Im not going anywhere I hope MJJC isnt either. I will even keep paying to keep it running if thats what it takes :)
 
As a new member, its my hope people don't stop coming here but I also understand that for many fans its becoming almost unbearable the almost daily speculation about what may or may not have killed the King of Pop, and that by stopping coming here it could mean better state of mind and health for them. Above all, people have to do what they feel is right for them but if people stop coming here, in the numbers they are presently, I for one will miss their presence.
 
Michael's legacy will never end. Music can never just 'disappear', especially music as popular as Michael's. Even if people stop buying his CDs...they are always going to be around yanno??

Even if one is found in 15 years after, hate to think of this, Michael has been somewhat forgotten....one of our children finds his CD and is curious...listens to it...a new fan is born.

A legacy will remain where a legendary and beautiful trail has been left.

Like I have said before, the body is gone...but the voice and the legacy will always remain.
 
I have thought about the same. But I will always be here, because we, in a sense, are one big family and I will always promote and defend Michael Jackson's legacy. I plan to live my life continuing in his goodwill toward others and a wholeness for reverence of all life. Always with a childs heart :)
 
I'm new here too. This forum has really been great for getting me through one of the darkest periods of my life so far (dramatic, but the truth). Lately, I do try to stick to the Michael Mania sub-forum and find the positive, happy posts (avoid the speculations and news, but my curiosity gets the best of me). Most days, while I'm at work or running errands or whatever, I feel like I will never be whole again and I'm just going through the motions but I'm not really there--but then I come home and watch videos you guys have posted or read some of the more fun posts on here of fans just remembering what they love best about Michael and it makes me feel a little better. I don't know, I think I got off topic somewhere. lol The point is, I think this forum is a great place [for now] and I don't plan on going anywhere. I really do appreciate having this forum to come to when I need it most.

It is sad, but it's also needed. You're not 'ditching' him, he would've wanted you to live your life healthily and happily
