This man took our childhood flash games that we supported and became a community together, he spent his own time and money to restore all of jv including the games as a project while in college. This whole “project” isn’t really a job, more like a hobby, so not much can be worked on as he has a life to live and bills to pay. I don’t have the facts to back up my claims, but I see him as a passionate community manager/developer willing to be there and make everyone’s ideas come to life
I'm not being harsh on him, I'm just telling the truth. The fact is, people change when they get older, and the things that they enjoyed doing in their 20s will soon begin to change a little bit in their 30s. I understand all the miraculous things that he's done for this community as a whole, so I'm not discounting any of the technical work that he's done. I'm just saying that people eventually reach a point at a certain age where they eventually lose that passion for what they used to love. When Jiggmin got older, he started a family and drifted away from this community for a long time.

I don’t take any medication for it just quite yet, so I can only assume others suffer from other personal stuff that may get them away from social instances for a long time. My adhd has a feeling that makes me login to this site every day because as a 16 year old for 5-7 ish years of refreshing jv it left as ptsd tendency to keep logging on and see the new posts or make a new thread with some ideas etc.
I just appreciate for where we are at and have became, without bls and eternal, this wouldn’t have been thing.
I'm sorry to hear that you have "bad adhd" and I hope that one day you're able to find a long-term, effective solution for it. I understand where you're coming from, and perhaps this site is just a coping mechanism to deal with such problems. However, the point that I'm trying to emphasize is that people tend to view life differently at a certain age than the way they did before. As you get older, your brain continues to develop and goes through mental changes until you're 30. Once you reach that age, your brain slows down just a little bit. If you're still here at 30 years old, then that's fine. But, I think you'll grow tired of JV eventually and find a new coping mechanism by then.
