Jim's forum thing.

It was a bit of a mix of stuff, games, film, books, music.

I thought it had a lot of potential and was a little gutted to see it go down. Even if people want to look at this as just a place to put their rambling with a little more structure than a blog that's fine.

I'm also up for doing podcasts or video things. Let our creative sides loose.

What was the concept? Was it videogames, or everything? I can't really remember.

EDIT: DAMMIT I was too late and now I can't delete it.

Who's Fozzy?

Stuck Mojo, but with Chris Jericho as the singer instead of Lord Nelson.

Well in terms of members anyway.

I still don't really understand what happened to The Trace. One minute everyone was working hard on it and seemed enthusiastic, the next it just stopped.

I'd written something for it as well. If someone wanted to use that in another project, they could.

The Trace? Was that as successful as The Score?

Or was it a case of 'its all going great until you say or mention something that clashes with some of the editors beliefs'

I briefly spoke to Jim a few weeks ago.  He was fine, but then he had to go and do the washing up.

set in his ways

my marble madnessy game was borne from the inception of this thing, pity trace saw no more, im however revelling in the glory of having made £3.50 last month in sales

Wasn't Jims fault, the chap who was doing the website was the one who disappeared in a poof of smoke.

Ok, so we've some interest, coolio.

i could make ANOTHER game for a devdiary sure, its fun

But goddamnit that kind of shenanigans might attract new people here, undermining a fundamental constitutional tenet of:

In the fullness of time it might be nice to build a "real" site to front this one. Gaming and similar nerd culture articles might be nice. Maybe even rustling up news stories.

The whole thing is kinda fraught with pitfalls though. I think if you were doing it it'd have to be very egalitarian. I'd rather a pot pourri approach with anyone being able to post something as long as it met very modest quality standards. It's amateur not a serious attempt to be the next The Face or something.

As a starting point how about another forum category called "Long Form" or something like that? Anything posted could be re-purposed as and when.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I quite like him too when he's not spouting nonsense.  Which, to be fair, he wasn't most of the time.  He is missed around these parts.

Jim was/is great. He did rather have a habit of starting off-shoot enterprises then going all J. Jonah Jameson and letting them (possibly through no fault of his own) fizzle out.
