Now that the same name thing looks settled, at least for now, I'm wondering if there is any advice we could give them to help them succeed like we have.

Any bits of wisdom we could give to help them from turning into another massassi?

I personally suggest that they DO NOT have a general discussion forum about anything not Jedi Knight. I feel that may one of the reasons why massassi died - its general discussion forum helped to make the site a social networking site.

Maybe we shouldn't give them advice; I just want to see them succeed without massassi type issues. What do you guys think?

May the Force be With Them!

Here's some information:

A. The general discussion forum was the greatest draw of traffic for Massassi even during its prime. The ability to discuss topics outside of editing is important to maintaining an active community. Otherwise, you might as well just have a wiki.
B. I'm not aware of any "Massassi-type" issues. In fact, Massassi is still more active than JKhub.
C. This new site looks centered on the multiplayer community of JO/JA, instead of modding. We all know that the community is essentially dead, except for the usual leftover nostalgic members, as you'd see with any dead game. It's sad, but that's life. JO/JA were never as popular as Jedi Knight were, and Jedi Knight wasn't as popular as Dark Forces, and Dark forces was never as popular as Doom, etc.

The initiative is good, but I think better to give advice to them on their website.

I'm totally not secretly reading this thread. I'd never do such a thing.

Thanks, though. Appreciate the sentiment.

What I meant was to ask if we should give them advice, and if so do it on their website. Doing it here seems kind of wrong to me.

Cool Matty - we don't have such a forum here but are successful anyway. People are drawn to social networking, no matter if it's MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, or a general discussion forum on a gaming website. Just because it was the greatest draw of traffic during Massassi's prime years doesn't mean it was good for the site. Anyway, that's how I feel about it. Feel free to disagree anyone. Not looking to start a fight.

I don't think they really need advice. They've been going for a couple of weeks and already seem to have a core set of users posting to the forums and a good stream of 'site content' in the forms of interviews and stuff going up, active curation of the site (contrast to .net, hmmm?)...

All in all, I think they'll do just fine.

The greatest draw of traffic is, by default, good for a website. It's not really a matter of opinion. Without traffic, a site cannot be successful. In short, without such traffic, Massassi would not have become the mega-hub of level editing it was.
