Well let me be the 1st to say hello :)

Well hello and Welcome to these boards.

I thank you all for all of your support with this idea, and I hope to get to know each and every one of you a lot better over the coming months before launch and beyond.

If you have any friends who would like to come onto these boards, then please let me know, and we can get them accepted here on the boards.

These boards are designed to bring together a group of people who will hopefully all join together on one or more servers, a group of people who will try to bring back some of the kindness and respect I recall so vividly from my beginnings in the MMORPG genre.

By coming here, and offering your support I really hope we can achieve these goals, I would like to eventually use these boards to aid in organising server wide events, organise PVP, and to help people find groups for Raiding and all those ideas I have yet to think of that are yet to show themselves in SW:TOR.

Again many thanks for all your support it is greatly appreciated

Kind regards

Ty-Odi

Good stuff. Count me in, of course!

Hello.

These forums aren't bad.

I am Darka, bit of a lurker on the forums so you may not know me.
Just saying hey

Hi all!

It's about time I said hi, too! As you may have noticed, the appearance of the board has changed and may still change several times. If any of you have any input on the layot, I'm all ears. As for now, I'm off to bed (soon).

Looking forward to getting to know all of you!

Selven a.k.a the Old Bat

Hello there!

Glad to be here amongst like-minded members of the SWTOR community. Hopefully when the game is released we will be able to do our part in making the game's community a positive example for others!

The layout is really, really impressive!

I love the cityscape planet. My concerns are partly in the textured look of the main message field (it's difficult for my eyes to focus on the text) ... and the text in the main title/logo. It'd be kinda cool if it was in a more spacey, or at least angular, sort of font. Although the letters have defined serifs, the shadows cut out parts of the letters.

A little of the same happens in the index-calendar-Faq-Search-etc. buttons, but not to the same extent.

I have minimal experience in graphics and only marginal experience in text art. Some of these fonts or font families may be worth looking into:

Preview of the fonts in order



Links to fonts:
Amalgama
Devil Breeze
Dylovastuff
WipeoutZone's Wipeout Fusion Menu Fonts

Personally, I'm fond of Devil Breeze Medium and Book. Things could look different on a dark background, though.

The link to Wipeout fonts was inspired by THIS article on successful fonts in video games.

Funny you should give those examples! Here's what I'm looking at as of right now;


(the colours are just an example)

Thank you for your kind words and for the suggestions Much appreciated!

Hey everyone, and thanks for Odi and others involved in getting this going.

I'll be as active as I can given work, school and other activities (like baging my head against the actual TOR forums,) looks like a lot of fun!

Should we have a suggestion box or some place to voice our opinion of functions to add, and see what people think? I know everything is still new (and quite well done so far, good job!) but I'm never at a lack for ideas

Ahah! Still a little shadow-choppy, but definitely a move in the right direction. I'd have felt bad making suggestions if I hadn't backed it up with at least a LITTLE work.

Hey everyone! Glad to be here!

I'll post some more about myself once I'm home from work.

Hey the RIG website is looking great.

Indeed, I am liking it a lot, and think Selven has done a terrific job in getting it so! So massive great big thankyou to Selven for all her hard work in getting this done!!

So yeah, I would say, lets start getting people on the boards?

I will begin messaging people tonight, if any of you have anyone or are willing to help with this, as it could be a bit of an undertaking perhaps, that would be fantastic

Gimme a list and I'll fire them off, maybe come up with something for us to copy paste into the messages for a basic letter.

Thanks mate,

I will see what I can do, lol, I have over 100 people on my friendslist now, and thats not including those who just sent me PMs without adding me, or the many people who posted on the forums but did not PM me.....haha, this could take a while

In the meantime guys, if you see anyone from the thread who is not on here yet, please feel free to invite them on here.

I am tempted to simply put the link on the thread for a while, at the end of the day, if anyone has the intent of coming here to cause trouble they will do so anyways, so no point worrying about it too much?

Thoughts?

First thought is, your Spam avatar makes me hungry. /shakes fist.

Secondly, it's probably fine to post the link, as you have to approve anyone who goes through anyway.

I see no reason why we can't eventually open up this place to the public, as that's how you'll get a bigger crowd of like-minded people. Because through invite-only requests that have to be approved by an administrator will definitely get tiring for those involved.

Troublemakers will be troublemakers... The beauty of your own forums is you can enforce your own rules. Just have good mods that won't tolerate people stirring up trouble and we'll be good to go. This place is for those who support TOR and want to keep an air of respect across it's members. Just make sure all members stick to that.

Hi newcomers! Good to have more familiar "nicks" over

Keep 'em coming!

Selven,

Is there any way in which people can be auto accepted onto the boards? rather than one of us having to accept them? (My Phone has not stopped going off what with PMs on the main boards, and the fact I am still subsribed to a number of threads on here, hehe, not that I mind when I am awake, but is a nuisance when I am trying to sleep, haha

Also, I can't get it to stop sending me messages about replies, when I have it turned off in my preferences. It's not bad now, but with more people it's going to be a problem
