Posted this in another thread about the purpose of the site.

The original mission of this site may be accomplished, but that doesn't mean we give up now. Lucas may have done this release out of malice, but us buying them is kind of like giving him the finger. Buying them is saying "this isn't what you expected, now is it? People embracing the OOT." At the same time we buy, we still want more, which he knows. This is gaining momentum, and I think re-opening the petition or doing something to that extent for Star Wars OOT on hi-def could prove a worthy endevor. I don't need and will not buy another DVD release, but a hi-def release would be very cool. DVD is where Star Wars needs it, I know, because blu-ray and HD-DVD will never ever catch on as the next home video formats, but rather like laserdisc, a niche product. But still, securing Star Wars OOT on hi-def is just as, if not more important, as securing it in good quality on DVD. The home video format that will replace DVD will become big in about ten to fifteen years, and although I'm sure it won't be Blu-Ray of HD DVD, securing the OOT there will secure it for all time in hi-def, which is the way of the future, and if the OOT is to be remembered, then that's where it needs to be preserved.


And the best reason to keep this site going is the forum. I think its the best community on the net. It's small enough that everyone knows each other, and we all get along for the most part. It's a great place to chat about Star Wars, but also to talk about fan edits and technical mumbo jumbo. There are a lot of geniuses in this forum. And that's why I like forums so much better than goddamn chat rooms, especially forums like this. I think its funny how some people are always likening forums to chat rooms. (School presentations, etc.) They're both so different, one filled with internet predators and the other filled with a fun community where you can talk online and have good, worthwhile discussions.
