How did you discover the JCF?
 

Dang, this has been boggling me forever. I'm always wondering how we have like a new member everyday. Exactly how did you discover the JCF? And of course you probably discovered J2O the same way, but of course, I could be wrong.

Reply with how you discovered the JCF, and what month-day-year you joined

I discovered JCF....: Because on J2O, there was a news announcement that JMMB was going to die, and so F.Quist, Nebula, and other people decided to make a new JJ forum. First they asked us, the people, what the name of the forums should be. Eventually the forum was made, and that was about March 22, 2001!

I officially joined as JJ Tublear* TA UR, about a day after the boards were finished being built. And I joined as that name on March 23, 2001!

I finally joined as this name and current name on April 26, 2001!

Some of you new people might be confused because on some of the Admin/Mods' join dates it says January 2001. Basically I have no clue what that means, but I'm guessing It's when the forumz were started to get built.

I was on the JMMB, then Dethman killed that. About two days later, J2O opened up the JCF, so I joined that. Simple enough.

Join Date: May 19th, 2002

Well deeaar, so long ago already? More than two years...
And I forgot again to make that day a holiday. *snaps finger*
That was a fated day, not meaning to sound cheesy. This place has given me a LOT. Might even be dead without it, who knows, who knows.

Anyways. I discovered this place a little more than two years ago. I've gotten JJ2 about 4 years ago and stopped playing, then started again, so I wanted to download levels from J2City (.. that was what it's called, right? ) again, only to find that the site was gone. Sooo, I began searching for a new one and found J2O.
And since mother has been all over "forums" lately, I just wanted to try this out.
And I apparently came to.. like it. XD;
I became the top poster within few months.. ehehe.

I found J2o in December/January 2001-2002, browsed a bit, dled somestuff. Finally registered in August. I explored a bit and found the JCF also in August (about August 03 2002) or something, but I found it a bit strange and confusing so I ignored it. Then, September 1st 2002, a few days before school started, I decided heck with it and registered. The end.

I think I heard about this site over a game of JJ2. I don't remember, that was years ago.

I migrated from the JMMB after it's demise. And I found the JMMB by finding J2C, and I found J2C by searching for Jazz Jackrabbit stuff.

1991> Born ->(three years pass) Download JJ1 Demo ->(four years pass) Go to CompUSA -> Buy JJ2 -> Look at Manual -> Go to www.jazzjackrabbit.com-> Go to Links-> Go to www.jazz2city.com-> (one year has passed since buying JJ2) Go to JMMB-> (probably 5 minutes pass) Register-> (1.25 years pass) JMMB Dies-> Go To J2O ->March 22, 2001-> Go to JCF-> Go to Sleep->(one day passes)->March 23, 2001-> Register for JCF-> 2004

I think I originally found J2O by typing in "Jazz Jackrabbit" in Google. Same with finding J2C.

I found the forums when I found out that Forums were the same thing as Message Boards. If only the link on J2O said Message Boards, I would've been on the JCF much sooner.

When the JMMB died I was kind of lost for a few months, and then I heard about the JCF so I joined sometime in 2001.

Hmmm, I remember doing a google search for JJ2 levels and game accross J2O, saw the forum, joined. THE END

JMMB died, I heard they were starting forums here. I joined. The end.

Hmmz.. JMMB was suddenly dead.. few weeks later i checked here and joined it.. i think

I started playing JJ2 when I was 4 years old.
Then I interested playing it and when I finally
(5-6 years after) get the internet I started to
search JJ2 sites. Then I found J2O from google
and I found "forums", there I (oh dear! My limonade
just fell to my desk! :( ) joined to forums :) .

Well..as for me,Back in December 2002, I was introduced to J2O/JCF by Fawriel, whom I actually first met on Side 7's messageboard, then at one point when I was talking to him over msn, he mentioned some enemy that was going to be used in some JJ2 Fangame, and he asked me then if I knew the game Jazz Jackrabbit 2, then I said yes, and that I am a fan of it and have actually played it offline since 1996. So then he went all yay! and gave me the link to J2O. So I registered at J2O and then registered at JCF. Good ol' times.

I knew about Jazz2 City for a while (from jazzjackrabbit.com), and finally went to post a level. When I sent the level to Wakeman, he said he was no longer accepting levels, and gave me the url to J2O. And then I figured how to find the JCF from J2O... I mean, what TOTALY MAD FAT HACKER SKILLS!

~DS

I used to drop by at Jazz 2 City every once in a while (and registered at the JMMB (under another name), which died before I could think of making a post). I moved on to visiting Alienator's Universe Jazz, because people uploaded levels there as well. This site had a link to J2O if I recall correctly, and after going there a few times, I noticed it had a pretty, shiny forum.

Came over from the JMMB.

You may have played Jazz since 1996, but JJ2 came out in 1998.

Oh yeah, sorry, made a post typo there. I keep forgetting JJ2 was relased in 1998 and not 1996..thanks for reminding,but yeah, I've actually been playing Jazz 1 since late 1995. Started playing JJ2 in 1999.

well, I registered on the JMMB, and a few years later saw this flashy .gif advertisement for J2O (if anyone still has that, PM me with it please...) and clicked it, it seemed rather boring, so I never went there, finally the JMMB closed, with the message "erm...fatal error?and dethman goes on and on about how there's not enough christian content anymore, blah blah, so I register at the JCF a bit later...

I discovered the JCF in January 2001, using an ftp client.

I was the first to really register (assuming quist's account was made in the phpBB install process), after being the first to click a link in an IRC meeting of people discussing the fate of the JMMB or some nonsense like that :P

j2o

People were posting on the JMMB about it being about to die and advertising the JCF but I didn't want to join because I figured it was one of the many forums/sites that kept popping up but nobody liked since J2O was "the" be all end all fan site for JJ2. But then the JMMB died and I registered here.

If you ever went on the first version of the J2C & JMMB sites, those sites were basically where the first ever JJ2 fans were from, and met, I guess. Back then all the hype was when the full version of JJ2 would come out. So people were busy playing the shareware version of JJ2 in the mean time, which I think came out in 1997.

So basically I guess teh whole JJ2 scene started in 1997. Or something. I unfortunately didn't join till 1998, basically a few weeks before the full version came out.

You know what I think would be funny. I want to hear what Dethman would say if he saw this site, or joined it, I know he would comment about JMMB or something. More likely than not, he knows about this site, or what if he was playing JJ2 under a different name that nobody knew, whoa...

It would also be funny if the JMMB returned. I seriously doubt it will.

J2C and JMMB were certainly not the first sites. Before J2C there was J2W, for example, and before JMMB there was EMB.
Fortunately, I have this all written down. Let's see...

J2W: January 1997
J2C: January 1998

JJ2SW: April 1998
JJ2: May 1998

JMMB: December 1998
EMB: No idea, but it was around for a while before that.

So, yes, the JJ2 scene started in 1997, but you couldn't have actually PLAYED JJ2 until 1998.

I was just looking for new places to stalk people and came across this site.

People were constantly mentioning J2O, and I eventually asked what it is, and found the site. Pretty much the same went for the JCF; I didn't notice the Forums link for the longest time. Actually, I lurked for ages on both, never finding a need to post. But I was there - sort of.

: Excellent. We used the picture of the graves to fool you. We are very much alive and obscene.




: We did not say anything.

A sad, sad day for the JCF. ;)
