New Site
The old site crashed due to a buggy script. It happened, there's nothing which can be done about it, and so we have to start the site completely over again. This means that there are going to be a lot of changes to the site, including the direction we have been going.
But before I get into all of that, everyone is going to have to re-register. Apologies to those who are inconvenienced, but with the site being compromised in the way that it is, I just couldn't see leaving it open. The new registration system doesn't like Chrome, but Firefox and MSIE are apparently unaffected. Once registered, Chrome is certainly the browser of choice. The issue is that Chrome doesn't like all the javascript checks that the system requires.
The biggest change is that this site is merging with Order of the Jedi and Force College so that we can better service our students. I am honored to accept the role of coordinator for these sites, and though I am a Jedi Master there is a lot that I am not yet fully trained to do. As such, expect the occasional screw-up, and feel free to tell me about it so that it can be fixed.
As such, students who are on Force College and Order of the Jedi are encouraged to operate here. As we are all working on the same goal, the Kunena forums here will eventually be merged with the YABB forums on the other two sites, and we will work toward the goal of continuing to provide good service.
Next on the list of changes is that we are no longer focusing on the academic portion until there is a demand for it. The initial response was truly overwhelming, but support dropped off to nearly zero after 60 days. It's a good idea, but without actual support it can't really be expected to work. We still have the long-term goal of a library, but that is 50 years or more down the road. For the moment, it is merely a long-term goal and not a primary focus.
Finally, we are training people by invitation only. Applications must be filed and approved before any access to the forums is granted. The reason for this is that we have had some problems with people simply not understanding the seriousness of our dedication to the Jedi path, and we aren't willing to put additional focus on them if they aren't willing to at least meet us halfway.
Our affiliation to Temple of the Jedi Order remains strong, as does our affiliation to the Church of Jediism in the UK (headed by Daniel Jones). However, to correct one issue, we are not directly involved with the internal organizational structure for either of these organizations. Though I personally sit on the Jedi Councils for these separate organizations, the business I do with either of them is separate from the activities with which I involve myself here.
