If you noticed the forum looks a little out of wack,your right. We had a issue with a mod that though we was doing good (I think ) by deleting old posts. But he has totally messed up the forums,and deleted most its valuable content we have worked years to create...
I'm a attempt to retrieve the posts,(and its probably impossible) we have to remove some of the forum codes..
The videos will be down and so will the image up loader and the forum will be Bent for about 24 hours while we attempt to fix what he has done.

Everyone rest assured Kit is working as hard as he can.
Dont be discouraged if a topic you made or enjoyed is gone.
If it is, just wait till tomorrow to see the outcome of the repairs, if it is not there, simply restart it.
Keep on posting, and bare with the repairs. All will be mended and the forum will be back on its feet ASAP

There is a 99% chance the topics are gone forever. I has offered the porboards owners money to do the impossible. But I have not heard back,and if they do take me up on it its going to cost a arm and a leg.
So I ask you all to help re add content to the boards that got hot hard like the General Chat board.. It`s a dark day in Archives history.

Errr... Not to brown nose, but what exactly got changed and what can I do to help? From what I saw this morning there was some sort of drama with AV and him deleting stuff in the RP forums, what else did we lose? Seriously though, can I be of assistance in some way?

A "clean-up" was performed, and it went too far. Many, many older threads were deleted. We lost a lot of times worth of content and posts. For example, the Star wars General chat board now only has 1 page of threads when it used to have countless pages.
You will realize that some of the threads you routinely visit, have been deleted. Please Bare with us as we try to restore the forum.
To help, you can create a thread, make some posts, and have fun. Bring order and peace to the galaxy aka our awesome forum.

It was not a clean up,that was jerrekdromas excuse. Saying he got rid of old posts,yet many of the posts here deleted where new ,like AV`S speach.. The entire 12 pag SWe General board is now 1 page, he erased 300 posts from the MR booard. Here erased 200 posts from the graphics board. Total of about 1100 post are now gone forever,thats almost half the posts made on the forum in 2 years.. Its frickin insane all the damage done..
All the time I spent looking and adding content for 2 years gone. Jerrek dromas will be dealt with somehow. Nothing he said added up,and I'm meeting with someone tomorrow to talk about what actions I can take against him.

You know, I found this place not long ago by accident. I had never RP'ed in my life, nor had I really been interested in doing so. I liked the layout and the graphics and the fact most of the people here seemed to be hard core nerds! I stuck around and since then I have become a regular member. I log in daily and RP, try and make some misc posts and such and I truly enjoy my time here. I don't know why jerrekdromas did what he did, or what is going on behind the scenes, but I do know that the people who love this site wont care that he did what he did, it wont matter to them. They will stick around and keep posting, keep talking, keep RP'ing, keep promoting the site on myspace and on the net because they love it. Does it suck? Hell yes. And it seems it was senseless and petty, but things can be rebuilt. I remember how I felt when I lost my PC with 5 years worth of stuff on it. 6 months later my new one is bigger and BETTER. Because I used that let down to work harder at it the second time. Lets not get down and depressed over this, although I know for Kit that will be hard, as it's his site and it hits home personally. But lets just focus that anger or sadness into something productive, post more! Don't spam, but make a effort to post a interesting topic. Think of a SW question or theory about a book/videogame? Post it! Answer others posts. Chat, request graphics, do rp'ing and just keep on working towards making this place bigger and better every day. To quote Henry Rollins: "When life hands you a lemon, say "Oh yeah, I like lemons. What else you got?"" That's just my thoughts on the whole thing.

I was well confused the other day when I logged into the Star Wars General Topics board and saw only one page. I thought my computer had messed up again. Now I know why. What will happen to Jerrek Dromas?

What will happen to Jerrek Dromas? - Darth Vader II i think he deleted his account cause i every where i looked that he usually post it just says "jerrekdromas" then it says he is a guest.

From what Kit said earlier it seems like Kit is going to take legal action against Jerrek. This is so unreal.

Legal action... that's absurd. There's no grounds for it. I'm not going say anymore on my opinion since I doubt any of you would want to hear it.
In the future though... here's what needs to happen: -Don't had out moderator/admin positions like they are candy. Admin should only be owners i.e. Kit. -Moderators should show more than an absurd amount of posts as a reason to be enlisted as support. See above... -There should be one or two "super-moderators" and many local moderators. This will minimize the "He deleted everything" situation.

He said he was getting rid of old unused posts,but many of the posts he deleted where brand new.. I'm not just going to sit back.. I can care less if I win the case ,I just want the stupid fool to have to fly out here to defend himself.Thats how I'm looking at it..because things are not adding up from what he said,it seems to be a malicious act.
