Is this community in good hands?

[Fear]

Heh I thought I'd start a topic, about the 'top' positions of the jazz 2 community. As you all probably know, they are the ones that keep the community together.



But what does everyone think of their doing?



You may all respond to the following sentence:



- The jazz community couldn't be in better hands then it is now



Lets start a true discussion all...

[Newspaz]

I think about everybody is doing a great job. Especially FQuist he's always busy on all the projects and keeps track of our wishes and tries to fix everything asap when something goes wrong.



Afcourse, Bobby is doing a fine job to. But Cheeze? I haven't seen him in ages. And JJF is just trying to make his life go on. Cheeze is probably doing the same..

[Wild Angel]

Weehee

[Hellraiser]

it's run quite well. Everyone has a part, and no one's really the "boss" (except for clan leaders being the boss of their clan, but that's different), and so no one gets pushed around. I don't have too many internet multiplayer games, but from what I hear, the people on Jazz2 are a lot nicer than the people on other games such as Quake 2. We all contribute to sites like J2O, or build our own, and try to keep the community alive. Also, we are trying to get a sequel from Project 3, and you never know, we just might succeed. JJ3 would expand the community further, but the community is well run right now, because everyone is treated like an equal, but it's not communism.

[FreeLance57]

I think it's in great hands. While there are destinct leaders (like fquist), the place still has that round table feel to it. It's a great community of friends, really. Besides the occasional annoying person...

[Shorty]

I am doing absolutely nothing to help anything.

[Disguise]

We are all links to a chain. The chain is the community, without a link it would break, it would not have a purpose.



WELCOME, TO THE WEAKEST LINK!!! YOU ARE THE WEAKEST LINK!! GOODBYE!! *HIC!* heheheh, I kill me http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif



Anyways, that's what I think, enjoy http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif



AND THIS ROUND YOU ONLY MANAGED TO BANK NOTHING!!!

[FreeLance57]

i beg to differ, disguise. lot's of us could leave, and it not harm the community. (i.e., craccoboy)



seriously. we wouldn't break if he wasn't here. lollol.

[Violet CLM]

Whee, personal attack alert! (Sirens in background)

Tsk. Calm it, Freelance. :P



I think many people are making great contributions to the community. It's great that there are still people making levels.

[Fear]

Whee! So many replies in only 1 day http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif



One note: didnt cracco leave the community again? (for like the 20th time http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif)

[Aiko]

Fquist is *the* man. Thats about it :-)

[Fquist_old]

*cough* Bobby and Cheeze did a lot too *cough* http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Ducky]

Bobby's and the lot o' them are good too, but Aiko said it http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

`Ducky

[Fear]

I think bobby and fquist are like equally online, but fquist is online at the times when dutch are on (and germans too), while bobby is on at american times.



Cheeze however, I never actually seen him online http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif

[Bobby aka Dizzy]

Fquist owns JJ2. ;P

[Fear]

Fquist is not one of the programmers of the original game is he???



And bobby, why dont you respond on icq?

[Monolith]

No, FQuist isn't one of the JJ2 programmers <SMALL>(unless he's not telling us something)</SMALL>...



But he has greatly helped build the current main JJ2 site and forums, along with Bobby, and other people... (like Cheeze)

[FreeLance57]

I was actually being serious. he was the first example to pop to mind.

[$TÛNT$]

Well, my opinion is:

I won't tell. I would be banned or get a fat warining anyway. I'll just tell u some things remind of 1939-1945. That's all...

[Aiko]

What you need is a FAT kick in your FAT butt, STUNTS.

[Newspaz]

I agree with Aiko :P

[Fquist_old]

No fighting please. Criticism is welcome but trying to stir fights and personal attacks are not.

[~SPLASH~]

i know this may sound rude, but everyone can have an opinion, even if its rude



anyway i think its in quite good hands

[FreeLance57]

he was refering to hitler, splash. i'd say that's pretty mean. especially with aiko being german 'n all.

[~SPLASH~]

actually he could have referred to war as well



but okie

[FreeLance57]

ah so he could...but still.

[Fear]

In the past two days I have seen the word Hitler more often then in my history class about world war II... hmmm





But anyway, it is good that people give their opinion. Even bad ones.

[Fquist_old]

I agree. As long as they don't stir fights it's fine with me..

[Aiko]

Lemme put this straight: DO NOT even TRY to compare ANYTHING that has do with the kids game' Jazz Jackrabbit with 1939-45. It is *not appropiate* in any way. You obviously dont know what youre talking about, STUNTS.

End of story.

[FreeLance57]

way to tell 'em aiko.

[Tik]

And there was much rejoicing.



Yes, the community is in spiffy hands right now. I used to think that it was in spiffy hands when it seemed like Dethman was running around behind the scenes, being mysterious and all, and then suddenly he just "decides" to get rid the main Jazz 2 site, and later "decides" to get rid of the JMMB. Well, that's just not cool at all.



Ah, but FQuist, Bobby, and Cheeze are going a dandy job. "They're a good people." Keep up the good work, guys.

[$TÛNT$]

Looks like people didn't get what I meant, so let's analye it:



"I'll just tell u some things remind of 1939-1945."



Who says anything about AH? That ******* is in none of my sentences! Cos if I would talk about that piece of **** I would say: 1933-1945! (is this a PA against AH?)



I just want to say a personal opinions which differs from most others. And guess what happens: They didn't tolerate it! Some people were very wrong about what I meant and what do they do? PA's and stuff. Fear asked for everyones opinion so u should tolerate that, even though u got mine totally wrong.

In WOII the're was that same problem - U can't speak out yer opinion freely -> no toleration. Perhaps a more recent example is Communism Russia.



Like ElectroPizza said in another topic:



"Well, if I were, I would ramble only ONCE. We hear you straight in the eye, er... text.

I, for once, think that the (...) business is getting quite a bit overboard, but is there any need to personally attack and go on swearing like a bunch of sailors? Why, I oughta fire a round at the whole lot of 'ya!"



The point is people keep swearing and stuff. Just let it and tolerate it.



The only THINGS (-> some things) are the not being able of speeking freely without getting warnings and PA's.

The other stuff goes very well and if it wasn't for them (Fquist, Bobby, Cheese and many other people) Jazz2 would be dead.

The problem of my personality is I often only say the bad things. Sorry if I explained it wrong or hurt someone's feelings, it was a big mis-communication which is my mistake I guess... again sorry.

[Fquist_old]

Good that you clear it up, although you could do it without cussing. :P



The point is that we want to keep this board clean for the kids..

[Fear]

Ìs it not true that the ones who visit this forum actually are the 'older' members of jj2?



Because i doubt the others come 'round here, most dutch kiddies dont speak english that well yet (same for germans, finnish, polish and french), so I think the target group of this forum is 10-20 years (if you count aiko http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif)



NEway, stunts, you have proven the theory you had come up with on msn. (no-one needs to know about it so dont ask me).



It seems most people here agree with the statement of this topic. Thats good to know.

[FreeLance57]

don't even try it, stunts. i tried the whole "it's communism and we need just a bit more freedom to talk" before at the jmmb and just made a jackass out of myself.

[$TÛNT$]

I just discovered it 2...

[Fear]

If you call a kapitalist a communist, will he be angry?

*The Sanctity of this place has been fowled!*

*The smell of death surrounds me!*

*Its hot down here!*

*Hmmm I must be getting close!*



*Lazarus! Laaaaaazarus! aaagh...*

[~SPLASH~]

*LAZYNESS! LAZYNESS!*

thats what i hear every day at school, evil voices in my head

[$TÛNT$]

All I see at school is u put yer finger up highest of everyone (and often the only who does).

Than those Evil Voices really help, don't they? http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif



-Is this offtopic or what?-

[~SPLASH~]

i dont put up my finger!

besides u only have half of the same lessons as me, how would u know how lazy i am?



anyway u know 0wn page2, try to get rid of it!

[Fear]

YAY already two pages of posting to this topic...



Well here's for a little change in the topic:



- If the people are doing so well (as most of you think) what kind of a reward should we give them??? (they after all deserve one according to the answers)..

[Poison IvEE]

I think that everyone that is involved with keeping this board up and running, deserves a big "THANK YOU". http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif You folks are all doing a really great job! http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Lamer]

This community looks like it is in good hands. Fquist is always doing his best to respond to our complaints ASAP and make the board better.

[Fear]

Hmmmz this indeed is one of the most active boards i have ever seen...

[$TÛNT$]

The people make it active. But just a few moderators are active.

[Fear]

Yeas, for instance, whatever became of Cheeze?

where did Dethman go?

[Fquist_old]

Cheeze has been very busy with other things.. dethman has a job..

[Fear]

Well no offence but YOU are online enough and bobby aka dizzy is too, so why shouldnt cheeze be able?



Most people have a job, but many still find the time to come here so imo having a job is no excuse.

[Fquist_old]

It is true that dethman really isn't as dedicated as he was, but it IS an excuse. Onag hasn't participated for ages, but he still is a jj2 fan. He just.. lives at work according to Ice M A N. http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[Ducky]

I..I thought Dethie was never returning? To this place..?

Oh well.

`Ducky

[Aiko]

A job is no excuse for not playing Jazz Jackrabbit 2 once in a while or having a look at the messageboard. Or closing a messageboard. Or shutting down the best Jazz2 website. Really. Remember, thats only my opinion.

[Fear]

Yeah, listen to Aiko!



And who is onag?

[~SPLASH~]

he is mark gano (is his first name right? if not..sue me)

he is a friend of wakeman's i believe and an old jazzer

[Fquist_old]

And he is owner of nagcentral. J2o would not exist without him.



Aiko: we've been over this enough. His action might not be taken in the best way, but it had good reasons. And he did not do it because he hated the board or so.

[Fear]

Hmmm I have seen nor heard of onag before...



hMMMZ............................

[~SPLASH~]

plenty of onag stuff on jazz2stuff http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Fear]

I dont usually bother to read the did u know signs, because most of them are sorry to say not really did u know but just 'jokes'

[Willet]

I like Onag better.

[FoD]

I really don't know that the community has "leaders".. there are people that influence it a lot, sure, and they do a good job.

[Fear]

People have a need for leaders and they will always have that need, every community is nothing without its leaders and will always follow their idea's until someone else takes the lead.

[~SPLASH~]

vote me for your president!



*runs*

[Fear]

*tries to take splash's remark seriously*



Now really if someone were to get you elected for president you'd make a ****of a mess..



Like that ****** W **** guy... haha bringing the world against him.

[~SPLASH~]

BUSH!

too bad im against death penalty, otherwise i should tell em to hang him http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

(mean eh, well sorry)

[Fquist_old]

Fear: stop cussing.

[Fear]

Fquist, taking the stuff I censored as cussing is SOOOOO DUTCH! I mean come on they are about the American president!!! That is not cussing, unless you see his name as that... and the word heck...

[Fear]

Question: Why am I getting email that there was a reply to this topic, while there isnt one... Strange and stranger... Or were the other posts deleted?
