Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

This: http://www.j-aircraft.org

I'm trying to renew/revive my old account and the site admin. has been MIA for weeks.

Let me know if you will forward a message for me.

Thanks!

Bronc

Re: Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

I'm on j-aircraft and will be happy to forward a message for you.

After the trouble they had awhile back though I don't believe it's possible to revive old accounts. I couldn't. I had to just create a new account with the same username I'd used before, and I think that's what a lot of people did.

Private message sent!

Re: Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

Message sent to J-aircraft, your PM received and a reply sent.

Fingers crossed, hope they get you sorted quickly!

This is the message I got :(

Re: Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

Alex, I'd started a thread on J-aircraft a couple days ago in regards to Broncazonk asking to hear from an admin, I've just added to it for you.

I haven't heard anything yet from anybody on the site. Hopefully that will change soon and I'll let you know if/when it does.

Re: Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

Thank you Steve.

Re: Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

Quite welcome Alex!

I've still heard nothing. I notice that the "latest member" was added June 18...

Re: Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

J-aircraft has been in slow decline for years. I used to be very active there between 2001 and 2010 with Jim Landsdale, Al Alsleben, Richard Dunn, Osamu Tagaya, Henry Sakaida and many others. The site has had a lot of trouble finding anyone to take responsibility for it, and management enthusiasm slipped even further after Jim Landsdale passed away. It's very sobering and sad because it used to be an excellent website.

Re: Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

Well, there's a response now, from Justin Taylan (scroll down):

http://www.j-aircraft.org/smf/index.php?topic=18015.0

He gives an email address to send your email address and username info to get things sorted.

Bronc and Alex, if you can't get through that way let me know and I'll give it a try for you.

Re: Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

info@j-aircraft. com

This email address is not recognized.

Alex

Re: Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

I just emailed that address a few minutes ago with Bronc's details and it hasn't bounced yet. (I'm using a yahoo email address.)

Alex, if you'll send me a PM with your details I'll be happy to send them along.

Re: Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

Hello Steve,
Have sent you a PM
Alex

Re: Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

Got it, emailed J-aircraft, replied to you.

Fingers crossed.

Re: Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

Steve -

Do you happen to recall the name of the JAircraft webmaster back during the period 2000 - 2010 approximately? He resided in or around Minneapolis and may have been the originator of the website.

Thanks,

L.

Re: Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

If memory serves, Dave Pluth (though I could well be wrong).

Interesting if he's in the Minneapolis area as I'm only about 130 miles north of there.

Re: Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

Thanks, Steve. "Dave Pluth" kinda sounds right. IIRC, he was involved in IPMS Twin Cities area, and at the very end of his tenure, maybe around the 2010 - 2012 time frame, he was trying to put together a manuscript or book covering all of the WWII airfields in the Pacific or perhaps just those used by the JAAF and JNAF. I often wondered why he quit the webmaster job, but I guess it just got to be too much for him. What happened to Dave P and the management of JAircraft after that is a mystery, at least to me, because I departed at about the same time he did.

At 130 miles, I'm guessing you are in the Duluth area...........beautiful summers but too cold in the winter for me!

L.

Re: Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

I can certainly understand someone burning out on the webmaster thing (it happened to me). I can't say I know much about the management history of J-aircraft, as I really don't pay much attention to that sort of thing unless things start going awry.

Nope, not in Duluth, I'm about 130 miles west of there in the northern part of the Brainerd Lakes area (aka the middle of nowhere). It's not that cold here - only got to -60F (actual temp, not wind chill) twice last winter, lol. Besides, I like the cold after 50 years of living and working outdoors in a desert!

Re: Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

Thanks for that.....................yep, I see a large cluster of lakes running N > S between Pine River and Brainerd, and just E of 371. I get the shivers just looking at that area, but like you said, anyone in a desert for 50 years deserves a change of scenery and where you are certainly has that! Upper and Lower Whitefish and Cross Lakes are almost completely ringed with homes and summer cottages, so at least there are people and stores around. Nice area, despite the incredibly cold weather in the dead of winter.

L.

Re: Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

Yup, I'm east of 371 and between those two towns. I can look out my windows and see Lake Edward. Autumn is already arriving...

Back on topic: I checked J-aircraft a few minutes ago and the "Latest member" is still the same one from June 18. I hope Justin is getting something done for Bronc, Alex, and everyone else trying to sign up or re-register. Perhaps the atrophy has gone too far already though...

Re: Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

Best wishes, Steve.............:grin: :wave:

Agreed. Let's hope JAircraft can get back on track.

Re: Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

That e-mail address has worked for me and I have just been reinstated. According to Justin Taylan, all with btinternet.com domain names had been marked as spammers!

Re: Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

Today I received two emails from Justin, one each for Bronc and Alex, saying that he had sent emails to them to get things sorted.

Congrats twocee, glad you've been reinstated!

Re: Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

I still get this after trying to register :(

Re: Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

Did you get the email from Justin?

Re: Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

Yes, and as far as I am aware I followed the instructions.
Anyway I expect that he will be returning my email reply to him at some point.

Re: Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

Hopefully so!

I think he has to add you manually (though I'm not 100% certain). I see that Bronc is registered there now so I'm guessing it shouldn't be long.

Re: Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

Thanks , I hope so

Re: Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

Nothing seems to be happening, so sent another email.��

Re: Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

The forums appear to be working, with a post dated yesterday.

Re: Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

Can anyone help me get registered on J-Aircraft?

I was a member for years and then at some point I could no longer log-in.
I've tried to re-register, I get the "Welcome to J-aircraft" email, but need to wait for a second e-mail "Before you can login and start using the forum, your request will be reviewed and approved. When this happens, you will receive another email from this address."

I've never gotten the second e-mail and cannot get their Contact Us form to work. https://j-aircraft.com/forms/question.htm

All I get is,
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator at webmaster@j-aircraft.com to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

I tried emailing webmaster@j-aircraft.com , but that comes back to me as Undeliverable.

I'm stuck in this loop that my e-mail address and User name do not exist.

Re: Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

This has come up before. TOCH member "SteveR", Post #4 in the thread cited below, apparently still has contacts with the webmaster or the Admin people at j-aircraft.com and was recently able to help another member get back in touch with them:

http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showth...j-aircraft.com

I got the impression that the website is teetering on the edge of extinction ever since Jim Lansdale passed away and Dave Pluth moved on several years ago.

So "SteveR" may be the guy to see.

Hello Larry, I have posted a message on the forum, so maybe your posts will be answered hopefully sometime soon.

Re: Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

Actually it was me that needed the help. Thx

Re: Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

Message from one of the website managers

For J-Aircraft, any support requests should be directed to:

info@j-aircraft.com

Please email your username, email address and a brief description of your issue

Re: Anyone here on J-Aircraft
 

Hello Larry,
I got the following reply -

I saw your posting (see below) but deleted it because usually support is done via email vs. in forum.

I checked and there is no member named "Larry de Zeng". If you are in touch with that person, please have them send an email to: info@j-aircraft.com Also, ask him to include his username, email address, and a brief description of his issue (old account lost, etc). If they have an account I can reset his password.

So send him details VI's the email address and it should soon be sorted.
Alex
