I'm bored right now, so I decided it'd be a good time for me to do a crazy idea I've had floating around lately. I want every member of the academy to leave a comment in this news post. It can be anything... saying hello, telling a joke, telling a story, anything... BUT ONLY ONE COMMENT. I wanna see not only how many comments the system can handle, but how many members are actively using the site. So go ahead and post your ONE comment!

Finishing out our nominations from last week, I've just received word that Padawan Huxley is no longer a padawan, but is instead a Jedi Academy Trainer. Congrats Hux!

One of our new trainers, Datheus, is looking for a padawan to call his own, to love and cherish, til lag do you part. Interested? Contact him after 3pm EST on either Tuesday or Wednesday on either IRC or AIM (his screen name is on his profile) if you want to give it a shot. This goes for people who have asked him about it already as well.

The Academy Mod Squad is currently recruiting mappers - if you wish to apply please contact Kalla, Huxley, cHoSeN-oNe, or Zero on IRC channel #academy on etg.
Also, Kalla has sent word that he's ceased work on the JA Rec map due to real life issues. If you're interested in resuming his work, ask him and maybe he'll send you his files, or something.

Jedi Academy Six Month Anniversary -doobie- Nov 17 01:55am -23 comments-

Today truly is a historical day, as the Jedi Academy celebrated it's 6-month anniversary of being open. That's right, it was 6 months ago today, the 17th, that I completed the first test version of the site and posted it to our Jediknightii.net address for the then-leader JediSith999 to approve, which he did. This was also right around the time that DJ Sith joined the Academy, first as a server host alone, but then as the webmaster (as it became clear that JediSith999 was leaving and my web design skills, well, sucked compared to DJ's). It was little more than 2 weeks later that we opened for trainer applications.
As part of a mini-celebration for this fairly impressive anniversary (considering I would not have been shocked if this place died within a month), I've posted the original site design for your enjoyment and my embarassment. I do have to say, however, that a lot of the ideas I had for content have stayed around, including our tag line at the end... but the visual appeal of the site has definitely improved since then! Be forewarned, however, that a lot of the stuff is broken, including the email addresses for me and JediSith999 (the @academy.jediknightii.net email addresses were too much of a hassle to deal with).
Now for a bit of news on the future of the site. Our dear friend, Mapboy Derelict Crusader is alive and has posted a zip file of screenshots for the map expansion. He also sent me this in the mail:
I'm uploadin' some new screenshots as I write this...
Just know that I'm still at it 
PS - The dark areas in the screenshots are not final, I still have to add A LOT of light entities...
Ummmm I guess you can post these just to reassure the people that it's slowly getting there. 
And one more thing... if you're wondering who was the first OFFICIAL batch of Jedi Academy members, look for for a number that's less than 100 (or so) in their profile ID. Those are the original originals!
