What would you like to see in a scifi/fantasy web site? The time has come for a change...

I don't belive Jay even considered removing the two basic things this site is made of, the petition and the forums.

Darth Simon, that's a great idea, the webcomics one. We sure have insane star wars fans here who can contribute with material to it, we only need someone to draw it. On a weekly base. For free.

Well, whatever changes go through, they gotta happen fast. After ROTS release, Star Wars will fade out for some time...

Its only a remake if you consider the 1954 made-for-TV flick as a true James Bond film.


Of course. They would NEVER re-film that 1960's horrible monstrosity... They'd be more faithful to the book, which - from what I've heard and read - is also kinda silly too.

Jay, as I see it, the first issue here is content, and when I think of content, I first think of news stories and such. That should be "easy" to do and should not take a long time. I mean, look at AICN, what are they, if not only stories? Bring bright new content every once in a while, and you'll have readers, who'll return again and again. Of course, other sorts of media could be explored later - remember when I mentioned the "Bowling for Coruscant" documentary idea?

You are also concerned about the financial problems this website is getting to you. Wow, I didn't know it took 1000 dollars a year (almost 85 dollars a month!) to keep it running - not to mention all the time spent on it. An obvious solution for this would be banners and advertising. It would not generate much income, but it could be enough to cover your costs. You could also do something like "paypal", although I'm not sure it'd be such a good idea (by the way, I'm willing to donate if it's necessary to). And another idea would be to commercially explore the "originaltrilogy" brand, like with t-shirts and such - like PvP and Penny Arcade, who sell through thinkgeek.com.

Anyway, I'd be glad to help and participate on this. Although I'm known for my language barrier mistakes, I'm actually good writer, so I could help you with that - star wars news from the deep south, perhaps, eh? I could also work on html or web programming if you need someone to (I'm not too familiar with coldfusion, but it can't be too much different from asp, asp.net or jsp...)

It was, I can guarantee that. I own that DVD.

But I'm not sure you can consider that actress as being in that movie. I'm not sure, but apparently it's an american voice actor for the american version...

I've heard it's a really good show, but I can only find DVDs with two episodes for 30 bucks, which is even more ridiculous than what FUNimation asks for DBZ Dvds.


Nah, I don't think they're worth it.


furi kuri! of course it is worth it! it's gainax!
