Greetings and Salutations...

***Darth Groovy*** · 01-17-2004, 06:33 AM

Maybe I shouldn't have done this, but I could not resist with the cool colors and fancy look to this site.

Anyways, since this is the first thread, I thought it be appropriet to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves. My name is Darth Groovy, and I am pretty excited about the game, and I really dig the website.

I usually lurk around jk.net, but I'll be hanging around here more often too.

ExcelsioN · 01-17-2004, 10:16 AM

Yup, hi all.

Lets just hope that this game lives up to what people are expecting.

And Groovy, this forum looks better the the jk ones. It looks more up-to-date.

Edit: And who's gonna be the mods? Are you?

*obi* · 01-17-2004, 10:53 AM

I'm obi13, as most of you that read this know. I'm excited about the game as well, and the site&forums are looking fantastic.

As for mods, we're not worried about them just yet, but there'll be some. We won't leave this place unattended, trust me.

Crazy_dog no.3 · 01-17-2004, 10:59 AM

Hi I'm the 3rd out of the 6 or so reincarnations of Crazy Dog.

battlefield 1942+ Star Wars= kick ass!

Hermie · 01-17-2004, 11:01 AM

Hullo, im Herminator, but you can call me Hermie. (ONLY you though, no-one else

)

I lurk around the different forums, possibly posting at times, and I cant wait until this game hit the stores.

<EDIT> look at my title, im a monkey!!!! I seem to have done a toilet out of your floor.

*lukeiamyourdad* · 01-17-2004, 11:14 AM

Hello!

I'm lukeiamyourdad but also known as Luke's dad. I came from GB.com but as recently moved back and forth from there to SWK.

I'm a better then average but not as good as the experts at BF1942 and I'm sure I'll find my way through this very exciting game!

Can't way to drive an AT-AT

PS: How will you choose the mods anyway? I'm a bit curious.

*obi* · 01-17-2004, 11:29 AM

Well, we'll choose mods(I say "we'll" but I'll probably have nothing to do with the mod choosing, and it'll be up to the admin of these forums), probably based on who comes here, who has pretty good posts (not post count, posts), and who we think is probably overdue for a promotion.

Or, we'll just put a bunch of names on a wall and throw darts.

*Swoosh* · 01-17-2004, 01:41 PM

Yeah...basically if you want to be a mod, hang out around here for a while and be a good poster and we'll take notice. We'll do it democratically, I promise

*Darklighter* · 01-17-2004, 02:01 PM

Hello, I'm Darkilghter, the very same that usually hangs around the Swamp area

I recently had a look at the info for the game...and I must say, the screens just blew me away. It looks fantastic, no doubt I'll wanna add it to my ever-increasing SW games library

The_One · 01-17-2004, 03:06 PM

Hi, my name is The_One and I've been suffering...

Oh, wrong introduction

I thought I'd take this new forum for a test drive, I must say this game has lots of potential, indeed, so does the forum and site.

Let me be the millionth person to say the site and forum look damn good

I like the colour scheme, and graphics - good job Swoosh!

I always find anticipating a game can be a lot more enjoyable than when it finally arrives, let us revel in this time of joy!

Bob Gnarly · 01-17-2004, 03:31 PM

w00t, this game looks great i know i'l have it...soon...when its out...whenever that is...

I'm digging the colors here also.

EDIT, lol my avatar disappered.

01-17-2004, 03:58 PM

**swphreak** · 01-17-2004, 04:51 PM

You should get that fixed Jed.

I'm Phreak, I'll be lurking around here. I post at a couple of forums here, mainly GB, Star Wars,Aresen, and sometimes the Swampie forums.

And obi, you rock. Blue Collar Comedy Tour rules.

And why would this place need mods now? I see 3 Supermods an Admin right there

ZBomber · 01-17-2004, 05:32 PM

I'm ZBomber, And I was the one making noices over Jed.

Looks nice.

Celladur · 01-17-2004, 05:59 PM

Oops, wrong room.

Cant..hold..it..in..

CAN I BE A MOD?

(Btw Obi, I loved the Blue Collar Comedy Tour when I saw it on Comedy Central. How to tell if you are a redneck..)

*lightsaber igniting sounds.*

Damn, there must be a censor screen around here. I guess I'll just say........here's your sign, and I want you to wear it all the time. j/k

(I've got Here's Your Sign:Reloaded, by the way. Actually, it's my bro's, but you get the idea.)

I must say that Battlefront looks like it's going to be good, even by my standards.

Father Torque · 01-18-2004, 05:04 PM

Wow, great idea lfn

BTW, who did the layout, its simply awesome.

So, gotta make this a Swamp#2, without all of the caos, and spam

EDIT: Opps

I am Father Torque, i am a swampie. I am very exited about the new game, and plan on spending alot of time here.

Mex · 01-18-2004, 05:24 PM

Hiya, I'm Michaelmexp I post at Yoda's Swamp alot of the time since alot of friendly people go there.

This place looks pretty nice one of the best at Lucasforums I have to say.

So, err. Happy posting all.

***Thrik*** · 01-18-2004, 08:09 PM

Battlefront? Is that like some kind of Napster?

*Swoosh* · 01-18-2004, 08:24 PM

Torque> I did the graphics and forum, mattwindu did the back end programming for the site, and Jed did the content. We did the whole site in 4 days, which is by far a record from lfn.

Congrats!

Really outstanding work! props to you!

The_One · 01-18-2004, 08:38 PM

I think I might commission Swoosh to give the Dark Forces Mod Forum a make over

Swoosh

4 days? And it still looks better than any other forums. You must be a pro.

*Swoosh* · 01-18-2004, 10:07 PM

Well, I guess I am technically a pro...I do try to make money off of web design

Haven't made too much yet though, any help from you guys would be greatly appreciated

Swoosh

ZBomber · 01-18-2004, 10:12 PM

What exactly is it you need our help for?

Looks like everything is set up, and except for the fact that not many people seem to notice this new forum.

Pie™ · 01-18-2004, 10:14 PM

We could all just put some kind of link or reference in our sig!
Like myself and michaelmexp have done

*Swoosh* · 01-18-2004, 10:18 PM

Oh, I was talking about money

I need customers for my web business or I need to go find a job...

More people will come once the site is launched, which should be tonight.

Swoosh

I have honestly thought about giving money, but
1. I have no money to give away. I already owe my mom 70 bucks. =S
2. My parents wouldn't feel comfortable about me sending money to people I don't know, and I don't know if I would either....

Sorry, but maybe some of the older people that have some money to spare will come along.

Just wondering, how much money do you charge for a site.

EDIT - You could always start a little business, beside the current job (if you have one) you have. Your good with sites, so maybe make one, send it in to a search engine, and wait for some people who need some sites. I'm sure many people would do it.

You may want to consider some of that, I've seen a few sites that offer webspace, and if you need, they can have people help/make you a site.

Anyways, just blabbin off stuff thqat comes off the top of my head, sorry if I'm goin a little off topic. ^_^

EDIT 2 - Ok, you could give webspace to companies then. ^_^

*Swoosh* · 01-18-2004, 10:27 PM

Well, let's just say that me and my partner design sites for businesses...so unless you're a rich individual, don't bother

We actually charge very little compared to most other web design companies because we're students. But, we're reasonable and flexible

I would of done business with you guys, but i couldnt afford it. Have you ever tried going to newly started businesses and asking them if they need a site.

Hey my dad is highly ineed of a website. Ill ask him about it. Maybe he will say yes. I tried making him one, but it wasnt as good as your guys work. I will let you guys know if he is interested.

Cant wait for the Battlefront website, btw. Do you guys need any extra help setting it up and managing it? Or need info poster people?
