  Quotes from Discussions:
  "I feel like there are some people that are a little bit pessimistic/negative/toxic in the forums, not mentioning names. They're not doing anything against ToS or anything but I believe that there should be taught the difference between constructive criticism and bullying/harassment." - Community Feedback
  
  "The lack of updates might be killing what little there is left of the pr2 community." - Community Feedback
  
  "The current administration feels like a bit of a skeleton crew. It feels like it is rather just do enough to keep the game running, or give up on it. So I am excited that the game is even still going and happy for everything the admins do." - Community Feedback
  
  "I can understand this perspective, as I was once the one critical of Jiggmin for not doing more for the community." - Bls
  
  "We aren't pushing new content on a regular schedule. We aren't making ground-breaking changes..." - Bls
  
  "Communication has definitely been lacking from me, and I regret that that has been the case." - Bls
  
  "AT THE END OF THE DAY. PR2 will NEVER see it's glory days again. It's the unfortunate hard truth that has to be stated. Flash games and web-games in general are experiencing similar fates. Kongregate is a prime example." - Eternal
  
  "If you have a good idea for a contest, pitch it in CaM. Stay persistent. I can guarantee we answer every and all CaM threads." - Eternal
  
  
  "I would simply ask that if we haven't responded in a few days to a thread you made in CAM that you simply bump your post. We promise that we'll get back to it eventually." - Dangevin

Remember Platform Racing 2? I mean Platform Racing 2 Beta of course. You know.. the one with the weird EXP hat? If you're in the JV discord server, you already know but recently me and @Master Raiden have found old ancient PR2 videos that were buried by YouTube's crappy search engine. Here's a list of links of those precious old videos going from oldest to newest (this list will be updated) :

Welcome to... Word of the Week! The game is simple. Guess the word depending on the week's topic, each player has 2 guesses (if said player fails to get the word on its initial 2 guesses, they will now have 1 guess per day to improve thread activity. This was suggested by @Master Raiden) and each message should be done like this :
"1. Guess #1
2. Guess #2"

The player who guesses the given word first wins the weekly WotW. Also today's week is gonna be easy, since I missed out on Friday so.. you have 2 hints at the start this time. This WotW will end in 6 days, instead of 7.

I have been trying to get a recording of each of my PR2 levels for my Youtube collection. But my precision levels are proving to be a bit too difficult for me (because I am actively bad at this game). So I am calling upon you good players for help. Would you guys be willing record me a solid run of each of these levels with art and music on that you would let me upload to my youtube channel? Ideally using the "intended path" but I won't be too picky if the route is still cool.

And "Me" on the leaderboads is the player Me, whoever they are, not me me.

Thanks in advance to anyone who is willing to help me out here.

If any records are made, or if I should adjust any of the medal times, please let me know and I will update the leaderboard.

A few weeks ago, @Master Raiden told me to make a thread about Platform Racing 4 so I guess I don't have really anything to lose then. But anyway here in this thread I'll provide a link to PR4 (for newbies, this one is not official but it's probably the only working PR4 game there is right now made public)

https://sebatianpolak120.itch.io/platform-racing-4
You can play it by clicking the link above (works on browser and desktop)

Now keep in mind, this thread is for members of the village to share screenshots of their progress (like high ranks, I have rank 20 something something...) or generally give an opinion about the game and what could be changed and what not

Soo.. post your screenshots here..!

Current version is 1.0, the earliest one! Keep that in mind.
