Not bad, its still a bit slow and clunky though. Most people use PHPBB for forums now because they run pretty quickly, and everyone is familiar with the set up and navigation and usage. You may consider rolling over to that. You seem to have a fair number of forum members, which is good. However, I would suggest finding some sort of content focus for your site that the forums could support. Having a forum on your star wars fan site is great, making the entire site just about the forum usually isn't so great. It seems like you have a lot of energy for your site, which is great, and you seem to be mostly focused on the replicas and costuming or whatever. Perhaps you can dedicate your site, content wise, to tutorials on how to create a star wars costume? Step-by-step instructions with photographs. If that was your actual site, then the forums would really support it nicely. But just putting up another forum site? Well, I did an entire thread, basically, about the uselessness of forum-only sites on this board, its still on the main page.

Thanks Nar
I think the server mush have been acting up cuz it is one of the fasteest boards I post on.

We do have a large tutorial datebase so things cuch as making costumes,and graphics,and film making effects .
Its not a forum only site ,its is the forum of my main site www.force-fx.com

Well we adding a RPG forum in the archives,and it is quickly becoming one of out most visited rooms.
I would like to welcome the Force.nets rpg`rs to come on down.

Is it still going? From what you've explained so far about the site, it sounds like an interesting place to visit. With my little dial up connection though it wouldn't load very well for me but for the advertising scroll screen. I'll try again later. happy
