I originally came here because of the locals and wanted to get on it (i was a idiot back then) but then I got to know some of you awesome people and decided to stay, not for the locals, but because its fun playing with you all. Now I don't care about getting on it anymore, which helped me to enjoy it even more.

Tl;dr came for locals, stayed for the community

Most of that fallout came from people freaking out and wanting to be animated in some sense I think and just relentlessly plugging away.

This is just a gameplay montage, so what's the harm really? Just the vid, little 'recorded at j2' bit, everyone has a chuckle and moves along. I think it wouldn't have as huge an impact as the Locals did since the content is (sort of) different via delivery.

video no longer works in the OP. The only way locals would work is to not be solely on one community, where we quickly had a bottlenecking of players. It was tough for J2 to keep up, frustrating as hell on the regulars and overall was just not managed how it should have been. We always planned for it not to be J2 heavy, hence why there is only a link to play with us after Ep 4. Since I had maybe 10 hours of user-submitted footage compared to 4000 hours of recordings from my J2 library...it became a big ad for J2. Not something I originally intended but I am glad to hear there are a few cool folks who decided to stay and contribute to the community.

In reality, the best sex results from good communication and planning; like a Rainbow 6 mission.

OMG I remember that after every new episode of the Locals a thing would occur. I call it Little-Shits-Influxitus, would happen to the server everyone spamming the shit out of everything they could just so they could get their 10 seconds of fame. XD

I'd assume it's not as bad as it used to be. Has anyone even brought it up recently?

Every time The Locals is (rarely) brought up, the people who are most familiar with it say it's long dead.
