On the JMMB in late 1999 a bunch of people were screaming "Jazz2 is dead" but in 2003 it's still being played, I think that says something. Just because a game isn't a huge success or loses a lot of its fanbase never makes it 'dead', because people are still playing it.

The new JDC season, JCS94, new online gametypes, lots of forum and IRC activity (certainly not to the degree of larger-scale games, but nevertheless still credible)...Jazz2 is not dead and won't die for a long while at least while the community is still alive. I hate to be repetitive but the one thing I know will make a large boost in community activity would be getting the source code, and I don't think that is such a far-off thing. We could implement and improve on tons of stuff, we could combine the 1.23 and TSF communities more successfully, possibilities are endless.

As for Jazz3, I doubt it, but I don't think it's something to sneeze at.
