I had a lot of accounts back then (I usually used alts for racing and making levels), but the one you might remember best is "Mr.Black.". I think if you ever opened the lobby chat or used the original forums there's maybe a chance you might remember me, since even saying I was "super active" on both for most of their lives is probably an understatement - I straight up no-lifed them!
Now that you mentioned it, I do remember seeing a Mr.Black back then. I think it was rank 45 or something like that. But that rank was reached much later than 2009, which is besides the point. Yeah, "Mr.Black" definitely stands out the most to me.

You might also know my brother, "Tommy 8", who created the Jigg hat. Not only was I part of the community, but I think by all objective metrics I was an unusually active and well-known one, especially considering that I wasn't part of any of the cliques back then.
Ahh yes, "Tommy 8" - another familiar name that I remember way back than. I didn't know you had quite the artistic ability. I guess you grew tired of pitching and designing new, artistic parts for a dead-end flash game that's way past its prime, now. On the other hand, if you were so well known, why didn't you mention that here, I might have picked up on who you were? I just felt like I was pulling teeth with you, earlier.

Maybe you can see now why dismissing what someone is saying solely on the basis that they're supposedly a "nobody" is not a particularly helpful thing to do. For the record I don't doubt that you played back then, but I suspect that you were probably more a part of some clique that focused on simming rather than the broader "Jiggmin community", which I think would explain this distorted perception of the playerbase.
Yeah, I can understand that. When I first joined the original JV, it wasn't until 2009. My original account, Danger, was first created around the very first start of the 2008, demo-release. Different is just a name that I call myself now, to distinguish myself amongst everyone else on JV2, here. It's also because I think differently and view life in a different way. My JV name wasn't the same as my Pr2 user identity because I wanted to remain anonymous. In fact, I think I named myself, Monster500 on the original JV, or something like that. I have some people that can botch for me that can tell you that I was definitely around, back then. Killer520 and Isaac is someone I used to rock with back in the day, that can tell you. Hell, I remember the clam project that UnknownAX did.
I only dismissed you as a "nobody" because you never revealed your identity during the beginning. At first, I thought you were some random, college graduate who spoke articulately and thought he was a know-it-all who's above everyone else. I apologize if I may have formed any misconceptions about who you were as a person. Even though I did pay attention the roster back then, I wasn't much of a "chatty" person. I chattered with a few people on JV and Pr2, but that's pretty much it. The real cliques were guys like quesin, Yellowfin, & Farticus Rex.

It used to bother me that in order to make a level I had to leave the chat. The way I got around it was using an alt for making levels - "TheWindowGuy" was my main one - and then I could just have a separate window open with the chat.
Well, it's never too late to make a suggestion on JV2, and maybe Ben can get around to it or something.
