I have been refreshing all my favorite links over the years and realized in my tidying up that some of my forums had been moved or altered and I had missed a good deal of what happened to one particular one I liked visiting when I had the time. I can't believe I missed all the events that unfolded in 2008. But here is the article I posted to the now-defunct Art News which disappeared entirely. Luckily enough I saved it.
Jasy is a name for a genre based string of forums dedicated to movies and TV shows. Depending on the genre, they have a forum for each. Drama, Comedy, Sci-Fi, Horror, you name it they got it. Some TV shows are so popular that they dedicated a forum for just that TV show. But sometime around 2008 they had been heavily targeted by spammers taking advantage of the login system which allows login from other social media and networks. While the same protocols are still intact, they have made their boards private and taken any trace of their existence off search engines until such time they feel safe in becoming public again. Drastic measures because the spam had nearly crippled their servers.
Depending on how long your membership was or how long you've had another account on another site may determine if you gain access or not. If you were already a member, you should be able to login given their servers aren't down or in maintenance. Jasy began originally as an art sharing site featuring artworks by the general public who created works of art based on movie scenes, poster art, and the like. Their first 5 contest winners over a 5 year period featured a piece from Lawrance of Arabia, one piece from The Exorcist, one featuring all six Star Wars movies into one giant poster, one was a 3D model of Jaws complete with a swimming shark and a mealtime human and one featuring the Terminator with laser-pointer eyes. Trademarked as Jasy's Concepts.
