Heyy, I'm marshmelow (I know it's misspelled--my 8 year old self however didn't, and I'm sticking to it lol).
I absolutely loved PR2 as a child and into my early teens, so I was delighted when I found that there's a download and that servers are still up.
Though I have to say, I'm feeling mighty inadequate now at level 34 lol. Seeing level 80+ is crazy... If memory serves me right, intrpd was one of the highest level players back when I was active, and he was in the high 40s or something...

I focused mainly on art and making levels (though my art wasn't nearly as good as I thought back then >.>). There doesn't seem to be many people playing anymore, but it'd still be fun to get back into things and make a level or two.

If anyone happens upon this and feels like answering a couple questions I've got rattling around, it'd be appreciated:
-How many people are still around? I've logged in a few times, and it varied. At one point there was like 20 something across different servers, and another point like 3 people.

-Does my old nemesis, the art limit, still exist? I remember being thwarted by it many times in the past and had a lot of levels never finished due to it.

-And finally... how long have these forums been a thing? Were they around in 2008? I seem to have missed its heyday unfortunately, but I've always loved forums, so I'm shocked I never learned of this until now. If they've been around awhile, guess I was too busy on Kongregate to notice.

Oh yeah, before I forget--if there's an admin that could assist with some account/login related issues as well, it'd be nice.

It depends a lot on the seasons now, pr2 is more active during holiday seasons. There's a discord that's somewhat more active than the forum here and you might be able to convince someone there to jump on pr2 at the same time

Art limit is still a thing but it's less of a problem now than before. It has been raised and changed around so you can generally make more art in levels now. Same with block limit.

The original forums were around from like 2007 to around 2016, then a different forum was migrated to and that also eventually stopped being a thing so here we are.

Head over to contact a mod section on the forum and make a thread with the account issues Smile

There's a number of forums I used to enjoy frequenting that are gone now sadly. Shame to see that forums as a medium seem to be on the downfall.

May not be super active anymore, but this one is still up at least. Smile

Yeah sadly things like facebook pretty much killed forums. Things that would've been talked about on forums moved on to private facebook groups. Pretty annoying since facebook has horrible search functions and private groups on facebook don't get indexed on search pages like forums used to so searching for these topics now show less results since it's all in facebook hell haha
