Now for something relating to the forum as a whole before I go do some other stuff:

Following something that YodaJeff brought up in the SWC thread in Comms, should threads such as "Favorite Palpatine Quote!" really be in SWC?

This forum is for discussion of the Classic Trilogy, yet Palpatine is in the prequel trilogy as well. Therefore, quotes from all over the saga could be posted, and the thread end up halfway in the wrong forum.

Plus, SWC is MADE for just such threads, so it would make more sense if they were contained there instead of here.

Just thought I'd post this here instead of PM so I could get opinions of anyone who might be lurking in the thread as well. happy

EDIT: Dangit, didn't mean to kill the whole forum. sad

I posted about this in Comms. I think a few light threads are good for community in a forum, as long as they don't overwhelm the other stuff. Look at the Senate if you want to see what happens when most regulars of a forum feel little affinity for one another.

It is so easy to miss a new post in this thread, since no one ever posts in it. tongue

Anyways, I pretty much agree with Mara in that it really is not a good idea for all of the light-hearted topics to be kicked out and moved into SWC. Some need to at least stay in CT.

I missed it too. tongue

I guess I wasn't talking about all lighthearted threads as much as I was about ones that could discuss both the CT and the PT.

Anyway, I'll try to get some more FAQ stuff typed today.

I've been a bit busy elsewhere, and haven't had the patience to sit down and type them. Plus, I'm somewhat leary of the new LFL Insider policies, even if they seem to only apply to Episode III info. I don't want to get the site in trouble by posting info from the issues that were released after their Cease and Desist orders were issued.

That's the first I've heard of it. What's the nature of that order?

It is mainly in relation to the Episode III pics from Insider; they're not allowed to be posted on the boards anymore. I don't know if it applies to other info as well, and I didn't want to get the boards in legal trouble by posting it. wink

Changed mods to DamonD and myself. It hurt doing that. But I'm glad CT didn't implode.

I'm working on revamping this thread. Hopefully by mid-June or so you all will have something new and shiny to look at. happy

Almost all the threads in the index are auto-locked, meaning I'll pretty much have to completely recompile it.
