tl;dr: a siloed community will derail any project in the long-term
------
I'm flattered people thought I was a good owner. Hats off to Conor, who I really just supported.
 
One thing OB HAS to solve is how siloed it's become. OGs in one channel, and I don't even know how many others groups hang around in the other channels. Is that my fault? Probably slightly, but I am less active than I've ever been now. No, it's not black and white OGs vs. the world, but this community is circles within circles. Conor had a fair point when he said people don't talk to him on the day-to-day from these posts. They had a point when they said, conversely, Conor didn't talk to them.
 
Why did it work in the old days? Coherency, for one thing: people played with more or less everyone, and OB had (and I'll say it again, as I have for the last year) a brand. OB Members were consistent: consistently good CSS players, good wardens, good Ts, good community members. They were almost all friends, too: at least without the immediate trolling. I think people have rightfully pointed out that when the mods felt obliged to police the community, people did care more about being inclusive. It meant they actually played together, and the community was exactly that: a community. And because we had a coherent community, it meant OB could and did take jailbreak dramatically more seriously, and more creatively, then most any other rival jailbreak community in existence. For two years, whenever we ventured onto Hellsgaming or any of the other JB communities, we always stole the show with our commanding. Thus, a virtuous circle.
 
How do you fix it? I know I'm sounding like I'm reeling off corporate bullshit here, but OB needs to produce a product again. Two parts to this: it has to be
good marketable Yes, I know this is obvious to everyone. But if it is going to be (1), it has to be consistently good, which means getting the community - yes, the real, whole community - to play it together. Break down the barriers, meet the new upstarts, or the old fogeys upstairs, whichever one you are. And if it's going to be (2), it actually has to have a realistic chance of success. Minecraft servers do not achieve this because unless they're massively innovative and set-up like Hypixel (which is, as far as I can tell, a multi-million dollar company) because Minecraft is not, to my memory, particularly conducive to people stumbling across it. Without VoIP, it's also very hard to actually give an OB-brand or touch to. Jailbreak's genius was that it was a game that revolved around characters. Our best wardens were good characters. Outbreak has, and still does have, a wealth of characters. People here are funny as hell. And they're funnier now than they've ever been, no doubt. Unless OB is hoping to transition to a soulless corporate machine like Hypixel, then it has to solve all these problems simultaneously:
What will actually bring the whole community together? If the answer is genuinely nothing, then you've already got two+ communities. What gamemode is actually conducive to people stumbling across it? YouTube or Twitch help with this stuff, but there has to be some natural osmosis - e.g. a decent and reliable server browser that we can feasibly sit on top of, all day long. What game has sufficient controls and mechanics, as well as VoIP, such that OB can actually put some character into it?  
If I'm sure of one thing, sustained contact builds community bridges. Gaffer and Mintlou hated each other. Five years on, and Mintlou will make an appearance at Gaffer's (send out the damn invites already) wedding.

agreed
we need a combat surf server

I want the community back like it used to be. Its drifted too far away from what we was :(

Will JB be revived ? If so, when will it come back ?

Gotta admit I talked shit in that other thread but I went through his library and I was really suprised - Wont change my opinion on him as a person but I cant seem to stop listening to his shit so he must have been doing something right.
 

I see his good side, just like I see Bill Cosby's, Jimmy Saville's, R Kelly's, Harvey Weinstein's and Kevin Spacey's good sides. I love people who publicly raise money for charity to try and hide their nefarious activities! Yay!

You're deluded

Stop defending this cunt cos u like his music u bad mongs

it's mad how childish most of this community is on certain topics ? Personally I found X inspirational and an influencer who proved that no matter how dark ones past is it doesn't mean you can't change to improve your life and the life of those around you? Rest in peace vro 

He was let off to go on tour because the judge realised how much of an influence him and his music was to the world. I feel like you've only focused on his past and nothing else, you haven't actually done any research on how his actions have impacted the world in a good way. The day he got shot, he was actually planning a charity event, It's definitely not enough to help you turn a blind eye to his wrong doings, but it's little things like that which should make you realise he is 'trying' to change.
The charity planning is only a small portion of how much he has helped his community.
 

I like when pedofiles and rapists get realised from jail after their sentences and do it again, because they don't deserve death, just a nice life in jail to then one day get released. 

No one deserves death, the most stupid shit i've heard. We can't put aside his past and we definitely can't just 'forget' about it, the guy fucking attacked his ex with a 'pitchfork' (no joke btw) as well as assaulting her when she was pregnant. 
However, he tried his upmost to change for the better, and that's why I'm upset over his death, I can't see him thrive within the environment he built. I truly believe he did have good intentions, better than good. He tried to avidly stream on Instagram, speaking about sensitive topics that no one else would speak about, he motivated and I guarantee changed so many peoples lives through the use of social media, that is fucking crazy. Music wise, he had enormous talent, he spoke to a lot of people through different levels and its inspiring.
Stop focusing on his past, and focus on what infrastructure he built for a variety of different people. The man revolutionised sound and will be missed deeply by a lot of people.
