Stuff is good magazine - June 29th 2002
Trafton, Knightlord, Phoenixgirl and Lavaman are creating a new monthly ‘magazine’ called ‘Stuff is good magazine’. This magazine, which aims to provide reviews of jj2 utilities, is spread by email. The magazine will not only provide reviews, but also an art galery, a level competition, a letter section and a monthly poll.
To subscribe, you should email. The email should contain your email, real name, online name, and any screen names you go by, among comments on the magazine.
The authors of this magazine would also like to receive reviews on utilities(preferably also some for 1.24). These should also be sent to the aforementioned adress.
On a side note, I’m leaving for a vacation on monday. please do not send me news. I will not be able to post it.
Jazz 2 City - Returns Episode I - June 28th 2002
The one of the die-hards of http://www.jazz2city.com. Brian, replied on the JCF that he is working on a return of Jazz 2 City. Even the host and old url already works!.. erm.. it’s not 100% sure yet though according to Brian. A Now don’t think right away that we are going to use it, its just some link updates and bringing back files.
our great granddaddy of Jazz 2 city has already a pre-view location of Jazz2city (Jazz2city.milesba.com) So you can give it a small check out to the nostalgia from the past and how n00b ‘we’ where ;)
He also shouts that JMMB is gone for good, it’s just to big and to buggy to back it all up so it’s gone for good sadly.
“and what about the other things, do we now get levelupdates? news and good old r0xord Jazz 2 stuff?” Ack, no.. it’s just that we can reach the old files agian. But there will be some little changes, like the JMMB gets linked to JCF and much more of those small changes.
But Man I can go on and on and on, just give this small post a check out
So that Jazz 2 city is coming back? hopefully! if nothing goes wrong the city is then fully restored. (btw hello world)

Stop making "first review" posts. - June 26th 2002
I have to ask everyone to stop making first-post reviews that are N/A just so it can be edited later. If you are going to post a review, please make it a review. Do not post reviews saying this such as “first post” or “this review will be edited later”.
A similar news post to this one was made a few months ago by fquist. Obviously, not enough people saw it.
I ask again, please either post a review, or don’t post at all.

1.23 to TSF Patch - June 9th 2002
A patch for 1.23 that turns the files into TSF has been made and has been okayed by Arjan the lead programmer for JJ2, so we feel it is okay to release a patch like this. Be sure to backup all of your 1.23 files and do not place the patched 1.24 and 1.23 in the same directory or levels will get confused. You can find more info about the patch by downloading it here. Be warned, the patch is about 11 megs.
