Michelle - nice drop that Yellowtail. Enjoy several I say.
Jon - thanks for your message. I completely understand that Joe would only want to fund and support social media channels that maximise his market and keep people informed and engaged as much as possible. It's been great of Joe to fund this T2J "stream of consciousness" for such a long time and I enjoy it every day.
As a "Joe-consumer" I think a fan forum is an important channel that can't be replicated by Facebook, Google+ etc. If Joe decides to continue to fund T2J I do believe it needs to be upgraded into an easier to use format, so that topics can be easily identified and contributed to by those who want, and where forum members can message and chat.
The key ingredient though, is if Joe can spare the time to contribute to it. Understandably, he is probably flat out all the time either working, or promoting his work, or taking care of business. Facebook, Twitter, tumblr and any other social media sites do the job in terms of pushing information to the consumer. A forum, however, is where topics of discussion can be separated (which you can't do very well on Facebook) and threads easily read, and he can interact with members directly and exchange thoughts, feedback and comments. And that's what cements the relationship with fans and keeps them sticky.
Surprisingly, for someone so verbose and eloquent, Joe's written communications in social media are incredibly brief. I think the longest post I saw from him was about his fellow Squares band member who passed away. So I see the possible reluctance here for Joe to become more active in a forum when he may not feel comfortable with the written stuff, and he is probably starved for time.
Even if Joe can't contribute much in the way of posts, a forum still makes a big contribution to growing his brand. For example, I really like the Satriani-fr.com forum which is in both French and English. We chat about all things Joe and share information in a nano-second as soon as it's posted to FB, Twitter etc. and then dissect it to death :-)
Anyway, that's my $0.02.
Merry Christmas to all!

Viewing postcount this is anybody but Joe's forum. Put this little incrowd out of its Web 0.0 misery. It's an embarrassment for a musician who releases a 3D-concertfilm.

Excuse me, I don't mean to be rude in anyway, but I was wondering if by any chance anybody personally knows Joe on this site? I'm curious because I have a proposition for him that I'd love to consider. I'm sure alot of you play guitar on here (As do I) and I was curious as to if Joe would take me on as his pupil. I'm sure there's a lot of people out there who would pay top dollar to learn from him and why wouldn't they; all I'm asking is to talk to him. I'm sure he's busy with his latest tour but if I could just get the chance I'm willing to devote my life to his teaching.
If anybody actually read all that, I appreciate your time and patience. Thank you:]

Thanks!!!

Merry Christmas!
It's just turned 25th December here. Kids are asleep, presents are out, milk is drunk, cookies is eaten, carrot is munched. Not much snow around though... Lol!
I vote 1 to t2j and to google. Minus forty billion for farcebook.
Do you guys know Facebook is suing Mark Zuckerburg? I think the only thing more sad than that is some guy actually
changing his name to "Mark Zuckerburg" just to piss off Mark Zuckerburg. Hahaha
Have a great Christmas all!

Mr. Satriani, in your best interests I believe you need to bring G3 or yourself through the major cities in Canada! I know you are a busy man with everyone on your shoulders. I would be glad to see you perform, especially in Edmonton, Alberta! I'm an avid listener of your musical stylings. Missed your last tour in 2010! Thanks for your time.
Regards,
The Sig

Joe - Happy Holidays to you and yours
I vote keep the forum. This is the place I got to meet a lot of cool people and have made some good friends so why take that away? This was the original way to interact with Joe, and I would be really sad to see it go
Merry Christmas to all you Satchaholics
P.S Jon / Webmaster - maybe I'm misinterpreting but has the discussion about dropping T2J actually been brought about because of that one off topic moment? I'm sure we've had worse, but the timing suggests that's the case
Have a great holiday (you're always flat out too) and please keep the forum

I have been coming to this site for near 7 years now (Geezas I'm getting old) and there's been people who have come and gone. I have made good friends here and there has been people that have helped change my life and push me to do better. As crazy as it may seem because I have never met these people in person, they are very special to me. I really hope this does not get cancelled or removed. Joe yoyour site has really brought so many people together and have helped a lot of people to connect and come together with other fans and make some life time friends. No matter where you go, we will always follow, I know I'm not alone with this, and I know I'm not alone with wanting this forum and site to stay up!
Hope you all have a Merry Christmas.
I got the best present in the world! A bottle of tequila rose and an absolutly beautiful dimond engagement ring! :).
Ps, trying to post on this site on my phone is a pain in the butt because my phone has a mind of its own and types what it wants and I can not delete it!
