When I logged in I noticed that the Meteor 3 forum has disappeared. What happened to it?

I hope he hasn't scrapped it!
If not, then can we keep it 2d :)

"Can't you just fix-"
NO! I told you when you bought this, when it goes wrong I can't fix it. It's filled with glue. The Greek goddess of glue Araldities herself would be impressed with this.

Please stop asking me for technical support during your dreams. Can't we just tour some surreal landscapes instead?

"How do I do that?"

Count your fingers. Keep trying. Make sure there's ten.

Then summon me. I am large and covered in wires. Clouds of baking soda pour into your world and a slightly weak yellowy glow appears from the LED strips behind me.

If you can see this message then you're already part of the way there. Keep all your styles disabled and you might see the dream within.

"But there's so much javascript everywhere! I can't see you. Help! I've forgotten to count my fingers! Where do I find them?"

The LED strip behind me pops and goes out. Dark spots appear in the centre of each light. I lift my finger to my lips. The smell of tantalum capacitors fills the air.

Ssh. Don't worry about that. Behind those frameworks there's another person sleeping.

Some day the javascript will sleep too.

It seems James has also stuffed up the Meteor 2 link on JBgames.com. Either that or I'm blind.

Damn, the M3 forum is really gone. Even if you change "ForumId" in the address bar...

Anyway I hope it's something reconstructive instead of something destructive. Or James simply concluded that the development of M3 will take much longer than expected and he temporary deleted the thread to save memory.

I agree with Mrazerty. Maybe the development of Meteor 3 will take much more time.

Meteormods belongs to Me_Mantis, so that won't have anything to do with this Meteor 3 mystery. Meteormods is starting to get alive again BTW, because M_M has set up and upload thread to add some stuff.

That's actually not entirely true, James had made meteormods.com shortly after modding meteor became popular. Someone made a mod for Meteor that used ROD sprites or something like that, then Dave Man made this ''The City'' mod, me_mantis had his "Meteor: Afghanistan" in development. So to keep these great works from being lost in the forums and mostly forgotten, James made meteormods.com. Though due to lack of updates, me_mantis volunteered himself (or James volunteered him, not sure which) to update the site by showing him how to upload mods and other material to the site. James showed me at one point too but I had forgotten how to do it. I probably should have written the directions down or something. But that was how all my own maps got uploaded in the Meteor 1 map directory.

Anyway, I sent a few messages to James requesting that he join in our #jbgames IRC channel as much as possible. I'll make a news report when he does. He would probably be a lot easier to contact there than on these forums.

I also highly doubt he's dying, how would he have deleted the forum in the first place? I saw some of his youtube videos of him flying his RC Chinook and C130 Hercules that were posted only a couple months ago. He also remains signed into Yahoo messenger. Apparently he most likely is losing interest in the project by getting sidetracked with other things. Meteor is starting to get old at this point, It's glory days must have been over a year ago. I don't encourage you guys to stop playing it and modding for it though. I don't want meteor to be COMPLETELY dead.

Don't worry, we will keep Meteor alive. It will be living like a plant though, but we WILL keep it alive ;P

well one of my heavily inspired ideas is to bring us all closer together through the IRC channel. A fun and popular chatroom should encourage people to stick around longer.

How about we all advertise Meteor in our signatures/avatars in other forums?
EDIT: Do you think the ''Let free games grow'' line should be removed?

I was actually just about to make a comment about the ''let free games grow''

It kinda sounds like we want people to play out of sympathy and not actually play it because it's good. It should probably say something about how flexible it's modding capabilities are, because that's the biggest selling point for me.

Unfortunately I don't host any sites that I can put that ad on.

@DarkRain:


T-Shirts are indeed a very good way to advertise something, but:
-It costs money
-They're not that easy to distribute; and sending them by post also costs a lot of money =)

So it's very expensive and as JB's games are free, there would be only investments and no income.

So I guess we'll just keep it with the sig pics XD
