    I protested the demoting of our RSAs, VoidDancer and sideshow212, very vehemently and was banned.

    As of right now, these boards are still under TOS and if you make a post that is inappropriate, you will be asked to edit it.

    There is talk of the Fan Force leaving the tf.n boards and I will keep you updated as news develops.

    Here is a repost of a recap that I posted in the RMFF, I hope it helps:

    Right now, the CR's and RSA's are discussing the benefits of FF breaking off. Right now, the list looks something like this:

    Benefits staying

    It's free
    We get "walk ins" from the JC
    There is so much already established there
    TF.N is one of the biggest fansites in the world, disassociating with it might be a mistake
    -people who don't like change will be happy


    Benefits of Leaving

    2 words; Phillip Wise
    outdated board technology (this board is cool!)
    slight possibility of getting connected with starwars.com and the official fan club, even if we do have to pay
    establishing our own TOS and our own secure contact list of Real Life info if deamed neccessary
    -FF can run itself, without having to answer to anyone else, but FF.
    -Better emoticons, color schemes and easier use of codes.
    -We get to start over from scratch (and possibly move some and/or all of the old threads
    -people who like change will be happy
    -much, much better features on the new format. (look at the bottom --we have a lot of cool new tools to use.
    -CR's can moderate their Chapters.


    Problems of Leaving

    Re-establishing ourselves
    leaving a "comfort zone"
    funding a new board
    attracting new members
    -possibly losing some members who don't want to make the move.
    -possibility of losing old threads



    Now, i think that FF will break off. This will take a bit, but it probably will happen. To see what the new forums may look like, Go Here.

    Personally, I don't mind if we start over. FF is about the people, not the posts. According to Phil Wise, all her cares about is the money, and he has no problem with nuking the boards here.

    FF is seen as the bastard stepchild in the eyes of the PTB at TFN. Always have, always will, IMHO, and I've been with FF since before it was part of TFN. Waaaay back when, FF was on separate boards, and the merged the forums. IMHO this was a mistake from the beginning. But I digress....


    ...The RMFF will continue to operate (I would assume --I don't want to step on SC's toes, she's the CR after all), and it doesn't matter where we post, as long as we stick together. From what I've seen, FF will come out of this MUCH stronger if we break away.

    The biggest benefit will be that we, the fans, will be in charge of our destiny without having to worry if PW has his panties in a bunch and summarily decides to nuke the forums out of spite. He threatened to basically do that in one of his posts in the Mod Squad.

    To sum up, the future of the board on TFN are in question as is. The leadership there doesn't care about you, or me, or anyone, unless they buy a signed Carrie Fisher autograph from C2 Ventures. He flat out does. not. care. about us. Do you want to operate on a daily basis under someone like that? I don't, and that's why most of the CR's and above want to go somewhere else.

    I hope that explains it...

    OK Folks . . .

    I am making a major suggestion.

    If you truly care about where the entire Fan Force is going (not just Tucson), then I suggest you get your butts up to Phoenix for the Saturday, March 13th Meeting

    Please look at the link and let me know if you plan to attend.

    Wow, I'm gone for a few months and look what happens... This is saddening, and I don't believe the TFF should be disbanded...

    The talk is about moving, not disbanding. And it is a decision that will have to be made by each chapter. We'll have more info on what the PFF is doing after our meeting on Saturday, the TFF is welcome to join us or stay behind as your chapter decides.
