Around the Boards Update for July 9

ForumFeud

The Forum Feud game is about to get underway! 19 teams have signed up, representing 13 different forums. See this thread for details, including who each team will face first!

FanFiction

The 2008 Fan Fiction Awards are in full swing! Saga is now accepting votes. You can read excerpts from the nominees here. Before the Saga and Beyond the Saga have their final list of nominees, which can be seen here (Before) and here (Beyond).

Star Wars Community

SWC is walking down memory lane as we celebrate the JC's tenth anniversary. We want to know your story ... what brought you to the JC, what kept you at the JC, and specifically what you have loved and enjoyed participating in at SWC.

Prequel Trilogy

General Kenobi just posted the new JC Top 100 Scenes of the Prequel Trilogy thread over in PT. We hope everyone will head over there and send in your lists!

The Countdown we did in CT was great fun!

Census & Games

C&G is having a Decision Poll to decide what our next tournament will be. It ends Saturday, so if you have an opinion, come vote!

In addition, Mafia is in the sign-ups stage with a new rule: NO GAMEBANS.

The Arena

The Arena's American Football Favorite Player Tournament continues, go here to cast your vote for your favorite player. We're almost down to the quarterfinals, with only big names remaining!

We're also getting ready for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Or, give your thoughts on the incredible final at Wimbledon.

Fan Sites

Riding the coattails of the recent TF.N 10th Anniversary Celebrations, a discussion has started about the progression of web design over the years and it can be found here. I used past designs from the last ten years of TF.N that can be accessed through the Internet Wayback Machine as a jumping off point. It'd be really great to see a lot of discussion there, especially from those that were there back in the day, so I invite everyone to come on over and join the discussion!

 

Good update.

 

I encourage everyone to head over to PT to join in the top 100 scenes countdown!

 

I've put my list in.

 

Nice update. I will probably be heading to SWC here shortly.

 

This forum Feud game looks like it's going to be good! Nice update, Rogue...Jedi!

 

In addition, Mafia is in the sign-ups stage with a new rule: NO GAMEBANS.

 

Just to add in my two cents here:
