Well, I think the chronologically latest EU I've read was a Zahn or X-wing book. So take my opinion with a barrel of salt. 
But to me, basing my knowledge on wookieepedia and JC culture ooze, the Legacy comics seem pretty far removed from Legacy of the Force ("Legacy" is apparently the new "Dark" ). By the comics' time, the NJO characters are pretty much all dead (I assume). If someone tells me their story is about Han and Luke and the Galactic Alliance, I get a different vibe than I do if they tell me it's about Luke's grandson and a new Empire. The same kind of difference I get between, say, Prequels and Classic Trilogy.
The Legacy comics are in fact exactly the kind of concept I think of when I think of Far Future. So I'd personally side with post-NJO as post-TUF up to and including the Legacy of the Force series.
But that is all just my (very) humble opinion!

Actually, Luke (as a Force ghost) and the Galactic Alliance and R2-D2 are all in the Legacy comics, which start only 125 years after RotJ. With KOTOR being 4,000 years before the Saga, 100 years doesn't seem that far removed, IMHO.

Tell me about it. To make matters worse, there's Legacy of the Jedi, which runs from Dooku's apprenticeship through Anakin Skywalker's, and while this is purely a personal problem I keep trying to interpret LoE, short for Labyrinth of Evil as... well, you can probably guess.

Yeah, I got the same 'Unable to Connect' message. So, I guess something is up with the hardware.

Some good points. Then again, Prequels and Classic Trilogy are divided by, what, twenty years? It's all over the place.  Reflect further on this, I will.
...And I'm getting the error too. It must be on TFN's end?

It glitches like this every now and then. I wish I could be helpful and fix it or at least explain why, but anything more complex than html coding a story is beyond me. If neither Herman nor Mariah knows how to fix this once they get online, one of us will contact Anthony and see what can be done.

I e-mailed Anthony. Either he is doing something with the page or it's the server. When I hear something I'll let you know.

That is correct. And in a quick update it seems like the e-mail is working again for me. If anyone is still having a problem with it let us know.
Hmm, should I resend a beta request I just sent, then? Or wait and see?
How do you know it actually works in the first place?

Well, if it's working, your requests should come up in the beta readers' email inboxes. So, if you are signed up or if you talk to somebody who is, you'll be able to see when it goes through.

Well, judging by the looks of things, it didn't work. So I wasted my time again, twice. 
Like everything, it helps to know people so you don't have to go around begging. Nice reminder.

I'll be you've been around the boards long enough to know at least two people who would be willing to beta. And we do have our very own beta list on these forums, and a lot of those betas are willing and able to beta for Archive submission. Just do what a lot of us do...ask friends on the boards whose writing we admire.

Well, I never got any responses, so it looks like the beta request list is still down.

The beta list is actively moderated, which means that nothing goes through until I personally go in and send the mail through the system. We've been on this system for a couple of years now. If it wasn't for this measure, there would be at least fifty spam messages for every legit e-mail that went through, and nobody needs that much herbal Viagra.
With the multitude of e-mail issues, I've been a bit lax in sending out messages, mostly due to the fact that each time I forward one through the system, I get a few hundred "undeliverable" messages flooding back to my inbox.
I'll go through the list this evening when I get home and forward the requests through.

Even though I'm staff, I wouldn't use the beta reader list. It worked great when the Archive first opened, when we had no WR, let alone a thread dedicated to beta reading, and there were fewer people signed up, most of whom were JC regulars and experienced beta readers. Now JCers have much more efficient resources. The list is still helpful, though, for people who aren't JCers (you guys don't get to see all our submissions - a great deal of them are from non-JCers) or as a last resort for JCers.
Speaking of submitting, submit stuff, people. The Atty grows bored
