[team_banner]DanTheRock[/team_banner] doesn't appear to work for me, is there a reason why?

I don't know just wanted to postdump some things I've been sketching. Looking for opinions on things I guess. 

Pedro the snail

Hard hat

skeleton thing

bowler hat

paper boat hat

amoeba-germ?

Idea is that all the body parts are animated in a similar way?

because why not? ‾\_(ツ)_/‾

JV was probably the first real online community I joined back in the day, and just looking at the layout of this site alone brings me back. I remember i joined PR2 in like 2009 and the original forums in 2011; to me that really shows how fast time is going by    Somehow, it doesn't feel like an entire decade has passed since then.

This site looks almost exactly like the original one, so hats off to whoever did that because it's total nostalgia! I don't even know what else to say but looking through some of the posts here makes me smile cause I remember some of you guys    I'll probably just continue lurking here like I used to in the later days of the original JV forums but I do think it's simply amazing that you guys managed to stick together after all these years even after the original site shut down. I love it!!!!



^ Everyone: "......who are you again?"

It's so crazy to me that I'm able to help with research on a global pandemic by running a program on my computer.

The changes to PR2 listed above have been made to the PR2 client, which is different from the server. The server updates are listed on GitHub and can be found here: https://github.com/jacob-grahn/platform-...s%3Amerged

I want to finally pick up this project-ish thing I mentioned almost a year ago at this point. The hosting plan for JV2 expires this fall (holy wow it's been 3 years), so I can finally start to think about moving the server without losing a lot of Zach's and my money.

I need to test how this will work logistically, and also see if the server we have for multiplayer games can handle the load of hosting a forum and simultaneously run a few socket servers. If all goes well, I'll complete the move this weekend. This may result in a bit of downtime while I get everything set up. Just wanted to give you all a heads up!

Hello guys, gals, and non-binary pals.

Man, I actually teared up a bit when I saw the ~2009/2010(?) forum layout. I joined back in the fall of '08, member #429. All these years, I still remember that number haha. Just getting this out of the way for any other oldheads: I'm Shadowmario, not Shadow Mario, I know there was another guy with that name. I think around 2011 I switched my name to Reusable. Avatar related, it was the first avi I had on JV.

Just want to say to you guys from 10 years ago: I grew up with you guys. Read through some other posts, and I think a lot of us share that sentiment. Back in '08 I just started middle school and I was at home alone a lot while my mom would be working. You guys were the company that I needed back then. I think I walked away from JV for one reason or another at some point around 2013? I don't remember.

If anyone remembers me and would like to reconnect, please reach out to me at my old gmail: reticentstorm0
Not sure how effective that'll be from spam bots, but just add the @gmail.com. Regardless, I'd love to chat with some old friends, maybe play some games again.

I'm 23 now, wrapping up my college career. Graduating in May with a bachelor's in math and physics, hoping to work in data science but we'll see what this pandemic has in store for me. I hope everyone (oldheads and new friends alike) is standing their ground in this crisis.

Cheers,
Shadowmario

Edit: Also big thanks to the folks who run the forums and pr2 these days. I remember the website going down a few years back and thought that was that. Incredible to see a revived community over a decade later
