***Official Welcome to the JC!***

Welcome to TheForce.Net's Jedi Council forums!

If you're looking for fun, you've come to the right place. The Jedi Council, or JC, is the ultimate Star Wars discussion board on the Internet. You'll find everything from debates about the Jedi and Sith to speculation about upcoming LucasFilm projects. The JC has grown into a social haven for thousands of users who come together to share their love of everything Star Wars and more. The JC is also home to sports and general science fiction discussion, among other various topics.

If you're new to online forums and message boards, take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with all that is available to you on the JC. Your stop here in Welcome New Users, or WNU, is a good start! The WNU regulars can help you find anything and everything you're looking for, and at the same time, they can answer your questions and direct you to cool threads and other users more specifically knowledgeable about topics in which you're interested.


Where do you go from here? Follow these links to help you get a good start:

Mentorship - Want to find someone to help you get used to the boards you'll visit the most? Get adopted by an older member who will hold your hand and make sure you get the information you need to become a successful JCer.

New Friends - Want to find some cool people who just like to have a good time? You can find your first friends on the JC in the welcome party, where users discuss everything under the sun; the pillow fight, where users "battle" one another in playful fun; the hug thread, where users greet you with a hug no matter how new or old you are; and the random thought social thread, where any topic can matter for a brief, random moment.

Posting Like a Pro - Want to post a reply and get familiar with the "language of the boards?" Make sure you know how to give your text styles via markup codes and practice them. Find out what unique terms and abbreviations mean in the glossary and use creative smilies to get your "emotions" across to other users.

Thank you for updating this and good job!

 

Thanks a bundle. I hope it doesn't scare anyone to know that I actually have a lot of fun doing things like this.

Scratch that. It actually scares me a little.

Thanks again. I hope this thread will be a clear, concise welcome that showcases the essentials of becoming a good JCer, including getting involved in the administrative workings of the JC, eventually.

 

Whoa, how did this get here? Good job, Trika!

 

This is awesome, Trikes. Great job!

 

Go Team WNU!!!! Great job Trika, you sound so....professional....

 

It's ok Trikes, we're all scared...
Great job Trika!

 

Brilliant, Trika.

Reading this made me sad kinda, 'cause I realized I never got a "I'm new" thread.

 

Good idea making this sticky.

*thinks of the obvious joke but does not post it*

 

This is a great thread, Trika! It explains everything that it has to and more. Great job!

 

Who's "Team WNU"?

 

You're looking at us, Ghenty. Everyone who posts here is a part of the welcome wagon.

 

What we call the good old days, when the entire JC was actually on the top 20 largest boards on the internet list, and WNU was a lot more busy than it is today.

I really miss a lot of those people on that WNU sock.

 

I definitely meant the current regulars, although the old term is not foreign to me. Back then, with the prequels in full swing, everything was a lot busier.

 

Bah, we'll get more traffic when the new movie comes out.

 

EXACTLY what I was thinking.

 

Many will arrive or come back thanks to Clone Wars; I hope. The Force must be with Us for this to occur.

 

Oh yeah, I forgot to say...I guess I'm a part of Team WNU! Have to celebrate!

 

Hi im new here so can someone show me around? Please

 

Hi Kyptser! Welcome aboard the WNU train to insanity.

 

Welcome, Kypster.

If you need someone to show you around, go here. All the oldbies there are willing to take newbies "under their wings".

 

Yes! silver's got you linked up well! Newbie adoptions will take care of you and make sure you have an experienced "oldbie" to show you around. The best way to go about getting adopted is to Private Message an available oldbie and ask them to adopt you. If you interested in something specific around the JC, PM someone who hangs around those areas and let them know you're interested in becoming his or her adoptee.

 

Hello all.. just trying to take some time to introduce my self.. my name is Steven, I'm from Stockton California. Its like 25 minutes away from Modesto here in Northern California.. i make music (underground hip-hop or indie hip-hop either way.. ) i started listening to the force cast when i got a ipod it was a few months back, in-fact the first episode i heard is when Jimmy mac hosted.. so that might help date me. I am also a avid Halo 3 player if anyone would like to join me my gamer tag is showtr0n (the last "o" is a zero just incase) although i've been wanting to change it to Showbi Won Kenobi so if you don't read this right away it may already be changed.. if I want to post images or links do I need to know any codes or something? If so can i please be pointed in the right direction? -thanks
