Forums
The forums [1] were opened on the November 13, 2003 and has been the center of BluejackQ from the very start. It currently has 4 moderators and has 20 different sections available to members. The areas included information about BluejackQ, Reviews of mobile phones, media players, PDAs and Miscellaneous devices, General Bluejacking threads and an off-topic area.
The podcast
The BluejackQ podcast was first released as a test version on January 15, 2006, thus becoming the first bluejacking related podcast. Podcasts 1, 2 and 3 featured three members of the forums. The podcasts have been criticised for being too random and having very little to do with bluejacking, but the podcast team and other forum members have said that it represents what bluejacking is about, fun.
After the third podcast, one of the members decided to leave the podcast due a fall out with another host. This was soon resolved and the team went on to leave BluejackQ to set up a technology website. A fourth podcast was produced on May 28, 2008 to serve as a final goodbye to life on the BluejackQ forums and to commemorate a reunion thread which had recently been started.
