released SOMETHING!

Awesome!
Thanks for telling this old news-group. Although inactive I believe many
(me included) still see if anything shows up :)

Whoo-hoo! Yay!
I wonder if this means 'affinity with polemarms' will finally be
fixed...

get computer acess in time to post. love the new game though - its
going to be fun seeing it develop.

Well, it seems it is time to bring this group back to life.

Duke Nukem Forever and JADE being released in the same year? Forget the
Mayan calendar, this is definitely a sign that the apocalypse is upon us.

I wonder if any of the ancients from the newsgroup still check in? I
would like to start it up. I would like to see a discussion of jade
content started somewhere. The forum seems awful mum on Jade
discussion.
granted there isnt much there to discuss, but I always liked the
newsgroup better than the fourm
Frances, Curry bucket, Mike 3, are any of you still out there?

I tried registering a few months ago (requiring many attempts at the
CAPTCHA...), and never got approved for posting.
Looks like my timing was bad:
http://www.adom.de/blog/2011/07/01/concerning-forum-registrations/
And here I thought maybe they just didn't like my explanation for "why do
you want to be here". :-)
I tried logging in again to see if anything changed, and it didn't recognize
my e-mail address (probably because the account had been dumped as described
in the above link). I reregistered (at least this time the CAPTCHA was
legible, and the off-putting "why do you want to be here" was replaced with
"favorite race/class combo"), but it still says I lack posting permission.
Not sure if there's a waiting period...
At least with Usenet each group doesn't need to come up with individual
spam-fighting methods.
"I always liked the newsgroup better than the forum" suggests that a link to
the forum isn't what he was looking for.

I'm still here, though I wasn't one of the more active newsgroup personalities
for a while before the end. I haven't actually played ADoM in at least a couple
of years, but I'm now following the development of JADE with some interest, now
that there's actually something to follow.
And I concur - newsgroups are far better than Web forums for basic discussion;
the only thing which can (in some cases) rival them are well-done mailing lists.

I don't know if anyone remembers me, but I'm still out here and I check in
on this newsgroup from time to time. Not that there's been much reason to
do so lately... :(
The forum is OK, but I miss some of the knock-down, drag-out conversations
we used to have here several years ago. I think it was a much freer
atmosphere here in the newsgroup than a web forum is likely to achieve.
Now that JADE is being actively developed (on version 0.1.4 as I type
this), maybe someone who knows what they're doing can create
rec.games.roguelike.jade! :)

While I do personally prefer newsgroups to Web fora for various reasons, I do
have to admit that there are downsides to that "free atmosphere"; for instance,
does anyone else remember the person who flooded this group for months on end
with daily paeans to the joys of boar semen?

That would indeed be a good thing. I haven't been trying out JADE yet (for lack
of time, among other things), though I have been reading the JADE blog; once I
do get around to it, if no one else has created the group yet I may see if I can
set the wheels in motion myself...

What is the point? JADE is perfectly relevant here. Especially because
there is little discussion involved.
I tried JADE and ... got cravings for ADOM. Last Monday I successfully
closed the chaos gate. It took me between six and eight years to win.
