As a reminder, it is not possible to register for a forum login on the forums themselves. Instead new members should register at http://www.star-patrol.net/wp-login.php?action=register to create a login that will be used for both the blog and the forum.

Existing members of the blog MUST login to the blog and update/confirm their password. Once this is done, their blog login and password can be used on the forum. To update/confirm your password, login using the link at the bottom of the sidebar to the right (http://www.star-patrol.net/wp-login.php), scroll to the bottom of the page and type in your new/current password (twice) and click Update Profile.

The Star Patrol forums are [more or less] complete and are open for use! Before logging into the forums you must first log in to your star patrol subscription account here and confirm your password. Once this is done you may then log into the forums by clicking the “Forums” link on the home page.

All of the forums are completely open with the exception of the boards in Announcements & Events. In these only moderators and administrators may post new threads, but anyone may reply to threads in the Events and Announcement Discussion boards.

We currently have no official forum rules, but as a general guideline keep things civil, play nice, and don’t do anything that you think might get you in trouble anywhere else.

And of course… have fun!

I’m just about done with the forum. I have the theme for it installed and it appears to be working. What I’m doing next is importing everyone’s subscriber login for the main site into the forum so everyone will have only a single login and password to keep track of. Once I’ve completed the import everyone will need to login to the main site, then update/confirm their password once logged in. This will set the password for the forum. I should have the import done by Sunday.

Also, while I’m taking care of all of this, are there any specific forum categories you all want to see? I’m planning a place for announcements and news (same as what you’ll find here) and a place to discuss that news (much like the CoH site has it in their forums), a place for setting up in game events related to Star Patrol, a place to discuss issues with Nova Dominion and other SG/VG related to Star Patrol, a place for posting fan fiction, a place for organizing/summarizing online RP activity and a place for participate in RP directly on the forums for those who can’t meet up online. Is there anything else we should have?
