I recently changed some things around in the server code to make the EXP system a bit more user-friendly. Text from the pull request description:

bls1999 Wrote:This pull:
- Fixes a bug with contest prize EXP awarding that would sometimes set the player's EXP points to the prize amount if they ranked up at least once in the process.
- Implements: https://jiggmin2.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=2998

Additionally, when rank tokens are enabled, the server will now use the player's base instead of active rank EXP progress for ranking and display. This means players won't have to decrease their rank tokens to rank up anymore and rank progress on popups/after races will use the player's base rank.

Special thanks to @lalafox for suggesting the change to contest EXP prizes. That code was a hot mess! It should now be firing on all cylinders.

Edit: Another small change! The artifact will now award EXP based on your base rank (without rank tokens) plus the number of available tokens you have. That way, whether or not you have the tokens equipped doesn't matter; you're always getting the maximum amount of EXP!

In this game, you have to keep asking questions. Someone asks a question, and then you have to follow it up with another question. 

Example

Why did you make this thread?
Am I not allowed to make this thread?
Will A Mod delete it?

etc etc.

Just please wait for someone else to post before you post again. I'll start it off.

How can we get these forums more active?

Post a sentence for each letter of the alphabet going in order.

Example.

First poster - Animals are good.

Next poster - Bears are my favorite.

Next poster after - Cats are cute.

Just wait until someone posts before you can post again. 

I will start.

Ashley convinced me to start this game.

PR2 v161.1.1: Hotfixes

This update provides some small bug fixes and some technical changes.

Fixes
- The allowed hats check now works properly. Previously, it would break under certain circumstances. Thanks for reporting this, @Drflash55!
- The PM notification now behaves as it should. Previously, it would show that there were unread PMs when switching from a Guest to a Member account. Thanks for reporting this, @Master Raiden!

Technical Changes
- Optimized the code that handles some things having to do with hats in the server code. A special thank you to @Northadox and @Camer the Dragon, who both submitted pull requests to fix this issue (#685 | #687).
- Made some other under-the-hood tweaks. My work on Creation is helping me optimize the PR2 code!

Additionally, the servers are back up after a bit of downtime.

I forgot to do this when I signed up, but I used to play PR2 a lot in 2011-2013 when it was at its peak.
I dont get on as often as I used to though. My users IPGV if you want to add me

The discord server listed under PR3 on JV2 is no longer official in any way and is very dead because reasons that are long and stuff I guess.

Link for current official PR3 discord is here: https://discord.gg/xYTvAGP

Could also add a thing about the preloader (for playing PR3 on desktop, it's better trust me) while you're at it, but idk if yall are cool with linking to a download from a non-JV2 source.

Flash games have been a big part of my life and I'm very sad to see them go. I grew up playing flash games and don't have anything else to do or know how. As a kid I would wake up in the morning, hop on the family computer and just game all day. My cousin showed me PR2 when I was like 12 and Showed me how to get the Kong hat and that led me to Kong and I immediately fell in love with getting achievements every day and the badge of the day.

Do you ever get excited because you got a notification, only for it to be some annoying ad, and now you're disappointed?
Well this is basically that, but worse!

5. Log Out of Guest
6. Log back in to your account.
The PM notification (*) becomes visible.

i recently found a group of people who are known as BlueMaxima and they have been working hard on archiving flashgames since 2018. So far they have archived over 59,000 games and they are continuing to everyday. here are the trailers of the software from since they started the project until now.
