Re: Xavier Murphy - tells ALL!!

(((xavier))) what are some of the most improvements you've implemented within the composition of the site?

What are some of the reasons that these changes were implemented?

In light of the site's recent top5jamaica two-level Awards recently earned, have you given yourself a raise yet? [img]/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

wondering if X-man's check is in the mail too!

Re: Xavier Murphy - tells ALL!!

1. What inspired you to build the website knowns as Jamaicans.com?

When I came online in 1995 there were only 2 other Jamaican website with none really having an archive of information on Jamaica or functionality to support a community. That was not there main purpose. The newsgroups (if any of you remember that)were just fully of sterotypical Jamaican information. Our community was just not online so I needed to tell the true story of Jamaica.

2. "Di Wife" (Mrs. Murphy) really put up wid a lot based on the time it takes for you to drun and maintain this site nuh chroo? Shi eva tell yu fi stop di foolishniss and focus on yu fam? (NUFF RESPECT MRS. MURPHY....very understanding woman indeed)

God has blessed me with a wife that has supported this right along. We were good friends for years (I know her when she was 11 years old) before we even went on a "offical" date. Our friendship sustains.

3. Have there ever been times when yu jus feel fi lock dung di Bulletin Board (as in get rid of it altogether) and just leave up the other pages of the site?

Yes....I please the 5th on this one. I am thankfull that Marcia was around during those times

4. With regards to the site, what keeps u going?

The love of Jamaica, Jamaicans and people who love (and want to learn) Jamaica.

5. Think u'll ever sell the site to someone else? (Tourist Board, etc...) Not just the domain name but all of it's contents.

This is a tough audience. Have you been talking to my wife...DWL. I have had offers to sell the site and even though the money was good for the early offer my heart is here. I have always felt this site belongs to the people...Jamaicans.com

Re: Xavier Murphy - tells ALL!!

1.However 'strong' you may expect your moderators to be, everyone has down times when they need a bit of extra support. Is that available, or are they made to feel that they have to leave their problems at the door?

We are all human. The moderators and admins really support each other.

2.What makes you TICK?

The feeling that God has appointed me at a time like this to serve the Jamaican community. (See previous response in post for more)

3.What an effective way to deal with ppl who break forum rules?

There is a system in place to deal with this. Very similar to 3 strikes. Without boundaries you have confusion.

4.How often do you have a staff meeting with the moderators

We have "informal" meetings using posts and emails. Everyone is not available at the same time.

6.What do you do in your spare time?

I am an avid bible reader and study books on apologetics. I also like to span time with my Queen and 3 princess. I have recently started learning more about photography.

7.How many hours do you put into this board on a given day?

To me the site has 2 areas. The content area and the Bulletin board. There is also the email I get. I would say I spend at least an average of 4-5 hours daily on Jamaicans.com during the week. On the weekend I may spend 6 hours a day.

Re: Xavier Murphy - tells ALL!!

To what do you most attribute the success of Jamaicans.com?

The people. I take no credit for this. The site has always been driven by the people. When I put the first few pages up the questions from PEOPLE came in and inspired me to get more content. When I put up the forum in 1996 the PEOPLE kept it so lively that is pushed me to do more. All the people who help out are volunteers. It is the people who deserve all the credit for the site sucess.
