The reason we have people who only play 1.23, and people who only play 1.24, is that these are decidedly different groups of people. We don't speak the same language. We're online at different times, and play different kinds of games, and put importance on different things.

There's nothing we can do about different languages and time-zones, but we can fix the differences in versions. I'm sure there are plenty of english-speakers who play 1.24, and many of them probably enjoy the same game types as those played in 1.23. The idea is to help increase interaction between the two sides as well as throughout the community. Otherwise, the only thing players have in common is the fact that they all use the same servers. I see many people interested in getting xfire support for jazz. But jazz has a small community as it is, and it certainly doesn't help if everyone appears not to be playing the same game. Why would xfire want to support an old game that has a loose community and whose players don't seem to have common interests?

Whatever you may say, the administrators of this site choose not to allow warez mainly because their host doesn't allow it, and because they own this site, what they say goes. End of story.

You can't honestly tell me that you think the host would even know that links to an old, unheard of game not being sold anywhere is considered "warez". When Dizzy hosted the game for his friend on the site or something like that, it didn't exactly show he believes there's any kind of a risk. And honestly, if Epic doesn't care about and won't support the game anymore, then why shouldn't they turn it over to the community? If they were ever to make/finish a sequel, it would only benefit them if more people had access to jj2.

I'm afraid this point is doomed to fail

Maybe it will fail, but you know what else will?. The machinima idea will fail. Even someone who happens to see it won't want to bother checking out a kid's game that's a bit more advanced than a super nintendo game. Also, Epic will NEVER hand over the source code to jazz, so anybody who still hopes to make a patch should just admit that they will fail. Trying to get xfire support for jazz is "doomed to fail", because they would never support a 2D sprite game that once ran on DOS. Or maybe you should try to avoid these threads altogether if you have nothing to discuss. Last time I checked, nobody was forcing you to read anything.
