I'm sorry to be so very late to this, but I only just saw it.

 

It's hard to put into words how it feels to learn about the passing of someone you've never met, but who has nevertheless been a part of your formative years as a JW fan and a teenager. Bloody hell, we're all getting old.

 

Heartfelt condolences to Joe's husband and relatives and everyone else who was touched by him.

 

R.I.P. Joe, you old lovable crank.


I remember you. You're a retired JWFan cop.

During covid I got really into the original series star trek movies, while I always kinda listened to TWOK I never really listened to the other scores...

 

Joe made a post one day about how 'Stealing The Enterprise' was a top tier ST cue and because of his status on this forum I immediately gave it a listen (watched the film too not too shortly after) and he was right.  Maybe the BEST Star Trek cue of all time.

 

Certain members here have that influence and Joe was one of them.

You should get clam cakes while you're there. I can't find them anywhere else in the country. Battered deep-fried balls of clams. They were my favorite east coast seafood thing. They should be served in greasy paper bags. Those look like tiny versions the size of fried calamari. I like the big ones.

In a time when such was a honourable position.

 

I'm 47 now.

So you've been a JWFan since you were 24/25?

 

Interesting. Almost the same age I was (26) when I created this account. But I've been on internet forums since, what, 15 or so.

I was 19 years old in the summer of 1999 when The Phantom Menace came out and I emailed Ricard about how the TPM PC game had unreleased music from the movie in it and he posted it on the home page.

 

25 years ago!

 

I'm 44 now.

So we have you to thank for that?

Challenging Jay's memory about forum activity would be...a mistake. ;)

My intro here was basically my sharing of the film edit of the Charge of the Rohirrim cue, as ripped from The Battle for Middle Earth PC game. My PMs were decimated for a few days.

 

People commented on how sweet the transition was to the famous Hardanger fiddle section that had been sorely missing for so long in the ost release, but I kept it to myself that the mp3 was my splicing together of two separate tracks in the game's files - and not the seamless Shore original. Nobody noticed.

My first post was asking for a link to a bootleg complete score to SW Episode III which some asshole was advertising here. It was a scam.

 I forgot this sub-forum existed so that's why I haven't posted before , but damn, so sad that a long time JWfan died (and Greg too).  He was one of the true JWfan elders.

This thread was created in General Discussion and lived there as a pinned thread for months until no one was posting in it any more.

 

Don't blame the forum structure,  you just don't visit the site at all much any more

Well I do but I just mainly look at the JW section now. Must have skipped General discussion too

Unread Content is your friend.

 

Unless you really only want to know what's going on with Williams and don't care about all that 'general' faff.

Unread Content will just be a bunch of celebrity deaths, LOTR, SW, HP and Comic Book posts and something like this would probably still get lost because it's an outlier type of post.

What's the point them of having everything separated in different forums then?

 

The point is for people who have never been to the site before at all, and are looking for specific information... or people who don't visit that often, and want to focus on a section of topics.  Stuff like that.

 

The Unread Content is for people who have accounts and use the site every day.  I recommend it to all regular users, not random people who've never visited the site before.

I'm sure there are many people who have accounts and use the site every day but are just interested in the JW stuff. It makes sense for them to never use the Unread Content.

Good thing I created a John Williams subforum then!

I remember when there were complaints it wasn't part of General Discussion any more
