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?

Why do you think the community is loose? Before you start labelling us with words, perhaps you should consider that we all are different kinds of people. Just as you have proven to be ignorant about your argument, people have different personalities and life styles that sometimes just doesn't mix well together. It's our choice to split the community this way because we like it that way, not because it's a bad thing.

The whole idea behind your points is to create a better game for people to play but now these people are saying to you they don't like your solution, then why on earth would you bother? You will never be able to enforce people to patch their games and therefore your sole opinion, despiting how well formulated it may be, simply don't matter jack. This is what a community is.

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 think it's funny how people sometimes make demands about the site without ever having contributed to the actual works of it. Before you go ahead and make suggestion that could affect the site's hosting, tell me where has your donations been at the last couple of years?

Bob nor Frank or any other staff members won't be heeding your suggestion simply because it's so much work to put at risk just for to clear up what a google search or two could grant you.

There are rules that we have to follow and we didn't set them. Epic's stance in this is in many ways ignorant, yet we have people in this community who still is working on archiving the source code despiting their busy lives. Patience is a virtue because all this ever will be is a rabbit game and it's not a very important part of your life.

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.

Last time I checked, there were people supporting those ideas but I don't really see anyone supporting yours. So I'm guessing that despiting your "EPIC WILL NEVER GIVE YOU THE SOURCE CODE" and "XFIRE SUPPORT? LOL", the chances of those goals succeeding is greater than yours. So maybe you should just lay off your high hat and realize all of these goals can only be archieved as a community and as long as you play high commander you're not going getting any support to get there. People aren't going to support you because you argue with them, you see.

Best regards,
Moonblaze.
