Then why do you have such a negative reaction?
And we are talking about JJ2, but there are other games in the world. I also point out the JCS forum, and the Clan Talk forum, and the Tournaments forum... those are almost entirely devoted to JJ2, whereas Jazz Talk is more versatile and supports all the other games.

I agree that the posts belong in General Jazz Talk. But my point is that not many people are talking about JJ2.

the big B thing is about jj2 =(.

Also, what's wrong with not talking about JJ2 all the time?

We could of course start a discussion about how much we all love the first Single Player Episode, but heck, that'd be boring, no?

I don't really get your problem.

The problem is that the forum doesn't encourage talking about things other that Jazz. Because of that, few people are interested in the forums, because few people are interested in talking about Jazz. If there were more people talking about other things, then the quality of the posts on the forum would improve. People would have better things to talk about than random retartedness because they would have more people to talk about things with that also want to talk about the same thing.

Maybe the problem is that there's not much left to talk about.

Links, please?

I can't really link to posts that prove that there aren't a lot of posts about Jazz, because linking to all the posts that don't exist is impossible.

"Random retartedness" sounds mostly like a problem with the Misc. and Comedy Cafe forums. I wouldn't argue to much with the way the JCF is formatted right now, but I disagree with the notion that no one talks about Jazz Jackrabbit in the Jazz-Related Forums. If you think the JCF would be better without the "J", then you might as well just find another generic forum.

Why don't you start talking about Jazz then? :P

Before you go to others, first seek the solution to a problem in yourself. :P

And remember, I'm not trying to make a complaint. I'm trying to answer the complaints of MoonBlaze. I'm trying to be neutralized, not give an opinion. I don't think it's debatable that Jazz2 isn't talked about often.

I think it's debatable. I would agree that not all of the Jazz-Related Forums receive a lot of posts, but the General Jazz Talk and JCS forums receive a decent amount of posts everyday. If you think it isn't debatable because the Misc. Forum alone gets a lot more posts than all of the Jazz-Related Forums combined, then that's a different story since it has always been like that.

How about we institute something like a 3 review per upload policy on J2O? Obviously, these reviews would have to be "approved" or "verified" somehow in order to prevent spamming, but it would probably not require much additional mod manpower in order to be feasible.

Of course we could make it a 2:1 or 1:1 ratio if we feel 3:1 would actually be detrimental to the content being posted, but I feel this would go a long way towards keeping the quality of both the levels and the reviews high. Uploaders would be more cautious about wasting an upload when they know they'd have to do 3 more reviews.

Smaller little technicalities could also be worked out to smooth out the system. For instance, a 1 review required per edit in addition to the 3:1 initial upload policy would ensure people have thought long and hard about their upload and prevent buggy levels from seeing the light of day.

This in addition to the level rater system of "I might as well work here" etc. I think would go a long way towards restoring the integrity of the Downloads section of J20.

Not a bad idea actually, but I'm not sure if that would work.

Has anyone noticed the sub-forum of JJ2 General discussions?

Yes, but no one wants to post in it as it seems. I like ST's suggestion, but I would make it so that you only have to review one download before you can upload, and that download cannot already have three or more ratings.

I can't post in it it seems though, I couldn't find the new thread button (maybe that's just me).

@ST: 2:1 or 1:1 would be much better because the community's supply of actual jazzers is runnning low. ;P Btw, what about review stacks? Would ppl be able to review 6 uploads and then they can immediately upload 2?

The only thing i dislike from this board is that we have no post count, you have to search all members posts in order to view homany posts a member has. I don't think a post count will cause more spam, the J2O also has something like that and there aren't any spam reviews.. I think there is nother wrong with the threads that are posted now, there are many interesting ones in the Jazz related forums, everyone post Jazz related news, talks, polls, and other cool subjects there. The only thing i dislike in there are threads about one person, the most reply's in those threads are flames or just ":P" or "lol". I don't check the misc forum many, but if i look at the threads and reply's in them they are good.

Shortly, this is the only Jazz Jackrabbit forum around on the internet so we need to make a nice place of this, and i think we did that!

Why do you all want a postcount?

I don't get the point of knowing how much posts anyone has made, really.

For the rest I agree though.

I'm bumping this post. Why? Because I'm happy to say - Good job. The new sub forums in Misc. are doing great at keeping the boards more clean, the handsome moderation of late, and not to mention plans of implanting a rank system on reviews again.

Keep up the good work.

For some weird reason, while reading your post I felt it was meant sarcastically.

Never once have I seen a forum utopia where everything is working perfectly and where there are no problems.

In my opinion everything here is fine. You can't escape problems, as even when one is solved another will arise because of it. Just don't take anything too seriously.
