The LucasArts Fan Network, LFNetwork, is a large network of websites covering most LucasArts associated games, related topics, and more recently games developed by previous LucasArts employees.

LucasForums is what you're looking at now, and is a network of unique communities that each have their own rules, members, and atmospheres. In most cases, each community on LucasForums has a corresponding LFNetwork website that can be reached by clicking on its header image.

If you are interested in helping out in some way to run a hosted site or community please do not hesitate to contact the staff and ask if there is room for you to join. We're always looking for volunteers with the drive, talent and ideas to expand and improve our network of fansites.

LucasForums uses an infractions system to formalize policing the forums. Moderators may issue a warning or an infraction to members who violate the forum rules or attempt to disrupt our communities.

A Warning is a less severe form of sanction that serves as a reminder to observe and follow the rules. A warning will not result in any penalties, though repeated warnings may result in Infractions being issued on further offenses.

An Infraction is a sanction being issued for breaking the forum rules. Each infraction is worth a certain number of points depending on the severity of the offense, and may expire after a set amount of time, at which time the points no longer counts towards the member's tally (though very severe infractions never expire). After a certain number of infraction points have been accumulated the member will become temporarily or permanently banned from participating on the forums.
