-------------------------------------------
Hey guys, Mishtram here.
I know tons of you were around in the General Star Wars forum where we tried to get this off the ground, but were unfortunately thwarted by not having enough people ready and willing to help.
So, what better thing to do then set up a threads for forums which might need content still? I hope some of you might be interested in helping out with the Battlefront II section. It requires knowledge of the game, and such, with everything going in bulk onto the portal.
At this time, further staff members probably won't be assigned, but depending on if we need help and if someone here is doing excellent work on
any of the Star Wars sections, people might be added as needed.
So, if you want to help out, just post
here!
Thread stickied. All members who want to participate probably should read
this before sending in any information. If interested, please contact us in this thread, and we'll mention what's still free to work on.

OK guys, I've done some heavy editing of the old stuff left over from the time that Dark blader and her team (including me) were on the project, and mass amounts of it have been removed. In short, only two member's info remains. On the good side, we still have something like 800kb of info in word documents and well over a hundred pages.
There are three sections I would like to discuss for the portal at the moment which I feel are necessary before we move on. Don't worry, I'll try not to be so long winded.
Graphics:- One on the list, if any of you have any maps, hand drawn or otherwise which you would like to submit, please feel free to do so! The ones that Ecto5 got up look great and I've already added them to his file.
- If anyone has any software (IE freeware!) which will let me take more than one screenshot at once which has a good history, could you send a link to the site my way?
- Graphics in general are important to many forums, so if you can work together some graphics for your section or take screenshots, it all helps. If you can't no real loss, it just makes things look nice.
Procedure:- This gave me a bit of a shit hemorrhage when I heard this, apparently we might have to deal with some restrictions as to how long as have to work on the site. In other words, the more work you do, the faster things get done and the less gets left off the portal, I guess. At the moment, this may or may not be true, but I'd like to have as much content done for the KotORs, the Battlefronts, and possibly from the Lego team as well before we move on.
Content:- I have yet to find any plagiarism from current staff members, which rocks. Great job, guys!
- If you have knowledge of KotOR II or Battlefront I, please post here once you are sure you have finished what you feel is necessary for your section.
- Movies took a major hit from removed content. We are down to:
Starwars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace Plot, Characters, Cast List, Vehicles, Music
Star Wars Episode II Plot, Basic Information, Cast List, Music, Trailers
Star Wars Episode III, Cast List, Music, Trailers, Basic Information
So if you want to try your hand at that, power to you. Same for anyone who wants to create some indepth detail on the books.
- The general section. We've got Battlefront II almost complete, with only a few odd things (maps, walkthroughs) which need completion. I'm handling KotOR, and we've got a smattering of info in other areas. If you want to try writing up some more general info for the general star wars section, be my guest.
- Finally, I don't need this NOW. I don't need this anytime soon, but the sooner we have it, the sooner I can request us a dummy once the upgrade is complete and we can get a move on.
- Want to try any other games? PM me or post here/here.
Thanks for all the hard work!
