Maybe I have the name slightly wrong, but I think it was Buggy. His avatar was a chimp face and he was a frequent poster. And you have the exact same disposition and changing sides personality that Busby had, he would go between forums and be a fan on one and a critic on the other. So if you aren't him, he must be your sibling who got put up for adoption. Where the heck is Gern when you need him. That guy saved every post from every forum and could bring them up whenever a dispute occurred over what was said. He could provide the list of all the members too. I have to give an honourable mention of my sparing partner DISCOVER, had a great time trading barbs with that guy for years. He was on all the various forums including Amazon. I remember Discover, and I think he was also an archenemy of Busby. LOL. Anyways, I was right about Buggy being the correct name: www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/RHLBWF8ZWKR9S?ref=pf_vv_at_pdctrvw_srp

Discover really riled up the troops when he posted that he hung that famous cake pan picture on his bathroom wall. A lot of the members went into a state of shock over that picture and heavily criticized Lisa for posting it. Lisa posting the caption “anyone want cake” didn’t help matters. 😲

Actually Amazon forum came after the Wall Street Journal forums there were 3 of them.

Mike shut down the JME forum around late September 2013. Why did he kill the forum? Was it to send OTTs packing, or was it to squelch critical comments? I felt it was the latter. Even ten years ago people were pointing to ruts in the road ahead. There were some interesting and constructive comments made, but anyone who made them would be covered in vitriol by venom-spitting front-row fogeys.

I don't think he killed the forum to squelch critical comments since those comments would simply have been posted elsewhere. I think it was all the in-fighting and the time consuming hassle of moderation. The forum became more trouble than it was worth.

That would have been a good read but Jackie has too few fans to justify it now. We'll just have to wait 20 years for Jackie to write her own tell-all memoirs. I'll bet her stores would curl your toes.

12K posts in a year of two certainly qualifies as an obsessed OTT. I recall he left on bad terms, anybody remember why? Yes. Lisa stopped following him on Twitter. A most horrible dishonor. Thank you, that's why he left. He thought the world's top Jackie fan deserved better.

I remember he would always bring up the infamous Cake picture with Jackie and he was a huge fan of Lindsey Stirling.

One thing I never understood is why there isn't any real instagram fan sites for Jackie. Not many celebrities especially younger under 30 have proboards fan sites but they all have instagram fan sites.

Jackie gets her hand writing skills from her mother. I have a hand written note I received from Lisa and the first thing that caught my eye was how artistic her penmanship was.

Not a lot of fans left.
