Editing Talk:JaAm

I think that the Wiki can and should include some fandom-specific information that isn't directly related to Transformers.  For example, we should eventually have an article for each BotCon/OTFCC convention.  We should have an entry for FIRRIB.  I think Jam falls under the same umbrella.  Obviously there should be some limit to how obscure/irrelevant a meme we include, but Jam, for instance, has highly-visible exposure on Ben Yee's site, so I think it is worth including.  --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 16:55, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
:Your arugment is sound, but I would definitely have to differ.  I agree that we should have entries for each BotCon/OTFCC, because the convention is officially supported by Hasbro (even though this was admittedly not always the case.  I would argue that the fact that these conventions ''gained'' official status grants legitimacy to the pre-official conventions to at least the degree where I'm comfortable with them being on this Wiki, though).  I don't think that FIRRIB or the JaAm comics, as ''strictly'' fan-based endeavors, should be here, though.  At the very least, if we do include them, we need to set up guidelines detailed the criteria under which non-official entries should be permitted.--[[User:G.B. Blackrock|G.B.

I vote we move to a properly-spelled page, such as JaAm. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 17:31, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

:I think JAam is a perfectly cromulent subject for this Wiki. Like Hot Shot, my shoulders often hurt, and I wonder Why- WHY was I created to feel pain?  You wouldnt' want it as a section in Hot Shot's main page, but a link out is good.  -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 07:51, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

I think this JaAm article should stay.  Personal webpages can come and go, and there was a considerable length of time during which the JaAm comic wasn't available, but all these references to JaAm were, causing me to say, 'WhAt jAam?'.  All those references are still out there, buried in Usenet archives, forum discussions, and things like the BWTF rating system.  One thing this encyclopedia can do is help to understand the meanings of weird things like this without having to say 'My life is pain'.  At least it would give everybody somewhere stable to direct people to when they wanted to know what was going on. - Autobus Prime

== Actual substance ==

Okay, I'm going to propose something here. As a result of Hot Shot's bio, we now have a first ''in-fiction'' reference to JaAm (complete with stutter-case). Seeing as we ''do'' treat packaging bios as fiction and thus a form of ''canon'', we probably should reorganize this article as if it were an actual substance and give this article a proper (albeit brief) fiction section.--[[User:Rosicrucian|Rosicrucian]][[User Talk:Rosicrucian|<sup>Talk</sup>]] 01:55, 12 April 2009 (EDT)
:Makes sense to me.  I feel like most of "What is Jam" could be shoved into one of the "Origins" sections we sometimes use before fiuction sections, like on [[Prowl II]].
:...which I see that someone has moved to "origins and complications" ''below'' the fiction section, even though we put it ''before'' the section because it was a necessary primer to make sense ''of'' the fiction section.  *sigh* -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 02:40, 12 April 2009 (EDT)

==Link plz?==
"Ben Yee commissioned Hot Shot fan David Willis to create a series of images based on the mini-comic" As a Hotshot fan, I must see this.--[[User:Chipmonk328|Chipmonk328]]
:All over Ben Yee's site. Every single review features a Hot Shot image reflecting the rating. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 00:00, 6 February 2010 (EST)

I'm not sure if Ben ever used the graphic for the lowest rating.  --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 00:02, 6 February 2010 (EST)

:::I clicked through a number of generally-considered-terrible toys like Armada Side Swipe trying to find something bad enough to warrant the worst rating.  Guess I forgot about the Walmart Universe slight-redecoes.  --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 00:20, 6 February 2010 (EST)
::::I think Ben reserves that lowest rating solely for redecoes, because that's all I've ever seen them on. Sideswipe may have been spared, [http://www.bwtf.com/toyreviews/universe/magnustreadshot/ but his redecoes have not]. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 00:24, 6 February 2010 (EST)

== Title ==

Would anyone object if I changed the title to render in red Comic Sans? (I know some people have a deep hatred of that font...) --[[User:Abates|abates]] 00:25, 4 May 2013 (EDT)
:You can do that? Can you make it render in ''red'' Comic Sans? [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] 07:05, 4 May 2013 (EDT)
::Yeah, it's just a line that goes in common.css:

== The external link to the comic is dead ==

Is there another site that has the comic pics hosted? Cuz I'm sure there are new fans who need to bear witness to the gloriousness of JaAm. --[[User:Sabrblade|Sabrblade]] 12:50, 4 September 2013 (EDT)
