The levels' quality is really the worst thing about TSF. Most people there are actually very nice. And many already know names like "Bobby aka Dizzy" or "FQuist". And they do respect them. It's just like Trafton said, they sometimes seem to want to stay away from the 1.23 community. Some could play 1.23, some can't because they simply don't have it and can't get it. And among those who could play 1.23, some seem not to be interested.

About getting them t the JCF...I think many of them did join JCF or "at least" J2O already. Most of them just are less active. Either because I don't know :P or, plain and simple, their English "skills". That's probably the greatest barrier for them- as I guess that most of the new players these days aren't much older than 12 or so.

Aiko did some kind of "recruiting" people for this community back when he was still active. That's btw how I got here. Blame him ;P. Anyways: I do sometimes ask people to at least check this site here, and already gave them information about 1.23 and stuff. Only I think I'm not really good for such a job, as I barely play JJ2 these days. Now what do I want to say? Well, if you directly talk to them, they sure react. Their English may sometimes be hard to understand, so I suggest you to go "out" in groups of two people with at least one who speaks Dutch fluently.


Now I wrote some crap and don't know why. Thanks for reading anyways .
