Jaguar interactive II
- Frequently Asked Questions -

- Below are brief explanations of some of the questions you may have about Jaguar Interactive 2.


  • What is Jaguar Interactive 2?

    It's a message board devoted to Atari's 64-bit Jaguar (and Jaguar CD) game console.

  • What's the history behind JI2?

    The Jaguar Interactive message board was originally hosted by Christian Svensson in 1994 on the redsun server. In early 1996, the torch was passed to Ken Baum and JI2 resided on magicalfox until the middle of 1997. The cost of paying for server space to maintain JI soon became too costly for Ken's taste, and he decided to pass off the board to Atari Gaming Headquarters, where it has resided to this day.

    Yes, JI2 is the third iteration of Jaguar Interactive and probably should be called JI3, but Ken never called it "JI2" while he hosted it, so we figured it just as well be called JI2.

  • Is JI2 moderated? What can/cannot be discussed here?

    Generally speaking, Atari Jaguar-related discussion is what everyone's here for, so it's kosher to keep it that way for the most part. However, JI2 has developed into quite a community of enthusiasts so occassional personal posts and off-topic content will find its way to the board. Basically, we're all adults (or at least we think we are), so we trust that everyone will use their own best judgement when participating. We do, however, reserve the right to delete any posts that are either obscene, derogatory or otherwise goes against the spirit of this message board (such as spam), but this right is exercised, albeit very sparingly.

  • Is JI2 an appropriate place to discuss other Atari (non-Jag) matters?

    Of course. The Lynx in paricular gets a lot of play on this board, because Atari's color handheld was commercially viable at the same time that the Jaguar was (well, not exactly, but close enough.) But for classic Atari discussion about the 2600, 5200, 7800, computers and arcade games, we recommend you check out AGH's Classic Gaming Forum.

  • Why didn't my post show up?

    It most likely didn't appear on the main JI2 page because your browser did not reload the page -- it simply pulled it out of cache. Just reload your browser and it should then appear.

  • Why aren't all the posts on JI2 archived somewhere on Atari Gaming Headquarters' server?

    Not enough server space and not enough bandwidth to deal with it. If we were a business like google.com (with its dejanews USENET archive), sure, we can do it. But we're not. If anyone has an interest in either selectively or completely archiving the posts here, there's nothing that would stop them from doing so.

  • How can I get my site listed at the top of JI2 with all the others?

    Simply e-mail us!

    We will gladly add just about any Jaguar-related website (fan sites, info pages, developer sites, etc.), but there are a few and conditions with respect to site listings on JI2.

    • One URL (site link) per person or organization
    • Retailers, as a general rule, are not added unless the store has unique Jaguar items or has supplemental content on their website that is of high interest and benefit to Jaguar community. Such eligibility requirements are necessary given that hundreds of sites sell Jaguar items to some degree, and it would be unfair to include some retailers while excluding others.
