I know that this sort of thing is not new, and there have been many "ideas" in the past, but I want some feedback on this.

I've thought of a way we might be able to revive JJ2 to the state it was before the original Epic list server crash. It probably wouldn't work, and JJ2 might be dead anyways by the time anyone gets around to trying the plan. But here it is:

Phase 1
Create a website documenting some of the history of what happened, where to get the list server patch, where the main community site (J2O) and message board is; basic information allowing people to get back into the game who had problems before.

Phase 2
Create web banners for the site and get them displayed on high volume sites like search engines and download sites. That might cost money though. But there are some free banner "webrings" that could also be signed up for. When people click on the banner it will bring them to the site. The banner will say stuff like "wondering what happened to Jazz?" and have pictures of Jazz and Spaz on them.

Phase 3
When the jazzjackrabbit.com domain name expires (sometime in spring 2003; you can go to a whois site to find out exactly when) someone should buy it, and set up a new site. Also, set up the list server at list.jazzjackrabbit.com, so if anyone happens to just try JJ2 online play again, it will work. This phase depends on whether Epic renews the domain name or not though.

So there you have it. Do you think this will work? Do you think it won't? Reply with some feedback or other ideas.
