Dear Members,
What do you think might be Jatlands' first impression on a visitor to the forum?
Please give your opinion via the poll, thanks.

I think the average reply would differ massively between a non-Jat and a Jat visitor. Probably the poll should clarify that.
 
i was thrilled to find this place and like kapil mentioned it surely depends upon weather you are a jat or not, surely we cant take the view of non jats here :)
 
Kapil,
You are right, I had thought about that as well.
There are a number of threads about Jatland where Jats/memebers have talked about the the forum, purpose of forum, why we visit JL , how to improve it, etcetera
For a change, it would be nice to consider what a visitor/ non-member might think of our forum.
I am hoping, against hope, that we would rise above the community bias and give a neutral opinion about our forum. So, the poll did not specify if the visitor is a jat or non-jat.
(Besides my jat associates, many of my non jat friends and colleagues visited the site.)
What do you say?
Regards.
 
Visitor is a JAT!!

Hmm...it seems the thread will become more of a debate on whether visitor is a jat or non-jat....:)
so, lets simplify the poll and say that visitor is a jat..

I was extremely happy when I found this site. I was sitting in the University lab and googled something about Jats and found the link to this site (that was in 2004 i suppose) and became the member of this forum straight away.

If I was in India I wouldnt have tried searching something about Jats on internet :D you get more interested in culture and history when u actually get out of the country:D
 
As much as I remember, folks/people (yes, if they are simply Jats that is) who have first visited/joined/or even been invited here by someone; I think have mostly shown huge excitement to find a portal for Jats like this, right off the bat...

But then HAVING said that I have also noticed that for some, after the initial enthusiasm; the experiences had unfortunately turned sour too when they were ganged-up upon, ragged and generally criticized on issues, posts and threads they started or contributed to in some way or form... which is understandable; each person brings in a new excitement and purpose, which may or may not be welcomed right away (simply because it may already have been discussed to death or one finds too frivolous to comment upon in simply a neutral, positive way... :rolleyes:)

[So on a totally side note, in fact if there were an additional poll item in there; which said - how many first visitors, new members had a positive experience after first posting here.... I think the numbers could well be quite interesting! :D]

The community bias is implicit in the fact that I visit Jatland and not Aggarwal-land or Sunni-zone, etc. I would normally not expect any non-Jats to visit more than once or twice after their curiosity has been quenched. And usually, their impression would be quite bad- firstly, they would approach an identity based site that they don't identity with, with some reservations. Secondly, they won't be very flattered after reading some "strong" opinions about Jats (positive) and not-Jats (negative) here. There are some obvious non-Jats here who (surprisingly) have enough time and motivation to become members and to create ruckus. But such people are exceptional.

Anyways, you have already clarified that it is Jat visitors that you are talking about, and that is much more arguable than non-Jats.
 
I met a lot of friendly and funny people on this forum. Overall I have had a good experience - Very enjoyable experience.

There are also some idiots here. Examples include people who want to beat their wives, kill couples who married in the same village, obsessive political supporters, fake protectors of religion (gai hamari mata hai types), jaadu tona - mystery - illusion fans, generally judgemental uncle-type attitude wallas.

There is also another important category of romeos and prem pujaris who encouraged by shows such as MTV Roadies and Splitsvilla, repeatedly keep sending their baudy proposals of love and fransip to stuck up girls. These girls then turn around and complain publicly to the moderator .. as if the modertor is their papa.

...and I thought we shall be discussing IMPRESSION of forum.

First Impression:- Waw!! We jats do have a Website, We do have a history!! God!! This is eight wonder of world.

Content - vieweships says all.

Rest later.
 
When I first discovered this site, that was by accident but I enjoyed being on this site and watched in silence what others are doing and the behavioural patten of the members..... but alas except a few members others are just behaving like they are discussing something in their KHET or in Chaupal..... mostly devoid of any sense.... and the person who tried to enthuse sense is being booed away....... so it is OK but needs improvement
 
I came to know about this site by my uncle who used to work in gulf. and one fine day his Muslim Pakistani jat friend said to him there is one site of jats called “Jatland” you must be knowing it….that’s when he became the member so am I. my first impression of this site was... It’s an organized blog who allows jats dispersed across the world have a common platform to know each other, sharing one’s thoughts with jat fellow members on current topics, to know the history of jats and offcourse the desi version of yahoo msg. in form of Chaupal exclusively for jats.
 
first impression......boring

Brothers , my few sisters and friends:D......though JATLAND is a number 1 website....par jab maine pehli baar iska home page dekha tha (at that time mai member nahi tha) to meri kuch samaj nahi aaya:confused:....everything was confusing....actually i was expecting something like orkut ya facebook...par homepage dekh ke sab kuch boring laga......but when i got membership...after that....i discovered other website stands nowhere in front of jatland.....:cool:

And now i am so much in love with jatland:rock....mai pura din chaupad me pada rehta hooo.....:D
 
overall good site nd gives a reasonably good impression to a new visitor (JAT/non-JAT irrespective)... thts my opinion. i'll give extra points as far as JAT history nd information about JAT's is concerned. this is despite of the fact that few instances/happenings in the history may/may not be true, over exaggerated or may be even far from reality... but overall an excellent efforts put in by wiki editors... hats off to all of them, as i learned a lot frm here.

i became active on JL after 2 years of joining nd my initial experience wasn't a good one, however when the fuss subsided the going was smooth nd i enjoyed/ing my stay.

JL is a very good mixture of sensible, cultured, matured, educated, competent (... ahahaha), some good samaritans nd few intellectuals... having said tht, i somehow feel tht JL is mostly infested with mollads who dominate the show more often then not. a lot of improvement is needed in the quality of forums nd the issues we discuss... but again tht is far frm possible, wch i've learnt over a period of time. cos some good members are not always active, some have left the site nd some feel tht there is no point discussing/re-discussing the issue(s) which might have been discussed at length earlier.

few more observations:
1. the attitude of mods is biased often times... my observation, but again thts individual perspective(s) nd has maximum chances of human error. this has caused many good members to leave the site, for various reasons... self-ego being the most predominant reason. i wish the selection of mods shud be more democratic (or at least for few mods).
2. overall a very good nd disciplined site... for discipline, i'll give few extra points.
3. not to forget... its a great feeling to learn tht it is a JAT site... successful nd a happening place.
