This is completely unbiased. Honestly. - March 23rd 2009
I am in no way attacking the parties involved in this, and I’m not trying to make enemies, but I ask that you carefully read the Lizzardsupport stuff BEFORE you vote on it. On the one already, six people have voted, when it is (in all sincerity) nothing more than an altered copy of the JJ2 manual. The other ones make little to no sense, and while I supported the project to start with, I’m now not quite sure what it is, so I am against it. Sorry Lizz, but I think Rabbitjournal readers need to pay attention to what they’re reading before they place a vote on it. I wish I had taken a bit more time when I did.
Honestly, I’m not attacking anybody with this!

Google invades Jazz2Online - March 16th 2009
I have installed the site analyzer Google Analytics to Jazz2online. I have done this not to get more statistics about how many people visit our site, but to check how users move through our site. This allows us to remove barely used links and sections and improve navigation.
I realize Google gets a lot of data on you all, and many people think it gets too much data. So if you vehemently disagree with this action please do say so. A Google search (har har) for “blocking google analytics“ will show you how to prevent being tracked.
Edit: I have also temporarily added the Clicktale analytics service, which makes usability recordings of around 1.5% of users. This is done to study usability. The service is disabled on pages such as log in, register and profile editing and private messages, to avoid recording private data.

Multiplayer in OpenJazz - March 31st 2009
The awesomely awesome Alister/Toxicbunny has released a new version of OpenJazz that has preliminary multiplayer(!!!) support.
OpenJazz is an open source remake of Jazz Jackrabbit 1 that needs the original game’s files. It supports multiple operating systems and works fine on newer Windows versions, unlike the original game.

Hello? - March 23rd 2009
Four days ago I’ve started a thread on JCF with my new music and there’s still no response, moreover there were only 23 views so far and I’m wondering: why? Nobody noticed or nobody cares? It’s not that I am bitter, rather I’m interested what is the reason for this.

We the united members of Jazz2Online have banded together to write a request to ask you become involved in the potential making of Jazz Jackrabbit 3.
We know you may be tired of working on it, but we at J2O are waiting patiently and eagerly to see your work. We want you to know that Jazz Jackrabbit has in no way died out and is still popular as ever. Another game would only fuel that fire, which can’t be bad for Jazz. We appreciate all that you and Epic Games have done to create the JJ universe, and respectfully maintain that you have every right to just say “no” to our petition.
You may be asking yourself right now “what’re they up to, and why haven’t more people signed this?”. These are, of course, valid questions. Only a handful of people HAVE actually signed this petition, and still many more HAVEN’T done so. It is their right to abstain from supporting this, in fact it just proves that J2O is not some big narrow-minded faction. We believe that the mean green hare still does hold some small place in our lives, but some disagree about just where that part is. And why shouldn’t they?
We may not all agree to sign this petition, but the fact that it has survived this long shows us that maybe JJ3 COULD have a future. Indeed, many people did not sign this because they felt it wouldn’t do any good. Will it do any good? It doesn’t matter that the last game or two in the Jazz universe didn’t do so well. Those were different. And in fact, we believe that if you conduct a new survey, you will find out just how well-loved and successful Jazz really has been. In our book, it was not a flop. It’s among the best out here yet. We want JJ3 to continue, and are ready and willing to aid in the cause. We declare that the insatiable desire for a new Jazz game is tremendous, and we wish to see it come to pass.
We feel the need for new material, something to grab us. In other words, we don’t want a cheap shoddy work of crud. We want the real deal, the very best Epic has to offer Jazz Jackrabbit. Please satisfy that desire. We are in no way attempting to sound ungrateful or greedy, but we just don’t want a cheap 2$ copy of a fangame. Not that fangames are bad. We know that if you do decide to do it, you will surely give it your best go, and we trust that you will give any such projects your best judgement, whether positive or negative, and respect whatever decision you may make.
To this end, we have gotten as many J2O members [who share this view] as we can to sign the end of this petition. Please do not ignore us. Make us proud to be Jazz Jackrabbit lovers! We are forever indebted to you for creating Jazz, and for [possibly] continuing his legacy.
