Arikraz will be transferring several stories from some of our older boards in the near future.
We have several story lines from the old NSDF StarSiege forums and from the PF forums as well.
If you have your own story line to post, please feel free, BUT please be considerate of others.
NOTE: there is NO censorship at this time, and I do not want to have to turn any on.
Be responsible for your words!
Check back later for more information.

It is off. I even deleted all words in the list so there would be no conflicts. Is there a problem somewhere? Let me know and I will get it fixed.  |

I did notice. I just was not sure if I had somehow changed a setting without knowing it and went back to make certain. In ProBoards, you simply use a "list" of all the words you do not want to show. I deleted the entire list. In story writing, it is sometimes necessary to be "off-color", just as in real life. That is also why I cautioned writers to use off-color language with care and regard to younger members. As time progresses and membership increases, we will have a wider range in age. |

ARI, a quick NOTE. I added some Paragraph Returns to a few of the story lines. If you can, take a look at some of them when transferrring. Several end up with Very Large Paragraphs. This makes online reading very difficult. I don't want to suggest stories should be "edited" by anyone else, but please pass along to writers to CONSIDER the person reading the material. I basically just added some Blank Lines between some paragraphs, but I think you get the idea. Writers should consider this to be a problem, even if the story is printed out on paper. An important part of writing should be to control the length of a paragraph and know when and where to break. Please pass that on. It may increase the number of people who read the stories by making it easier. |

Thanks Ari. I saw the message. Are there any more from the old NSDF board you still need to copy over? Ari, you probably already have this link, but if not, take a look: fanfic.mechnex.net/index.php |

there probably is a few more stories at NSDF that i could transfer over here if you would like. I just copied over everything from the PF forum, as now i have no affiliation with that board anymore (nothing about you, and prolly the same reasons why your closing it down as well) I never even knew mechnex HAD a fanfic Site! I may transfer my SS stories over there, which might be fun! Thank you for that link very much! If you are getting the NSDF forum closed down too, let me know so i can take a look at all the stories and see which ones are good enough to be put over here as well |

Ari, at this time I have NO plan to close the NSDF forum. Of course, it is always possible EZboard might remove it if there is not enough interest. I do not think they would without notification though, so it should remain forever. At least that is my plan. It is also a "central" place for old friends to check in and "renew" their contacts. |

if you noticed, I think I may have actually dug out some old NSDFers there cuz a lot of them have posted in the past few weeks and such so thats pretty cool that they are stopping by again and saying hi
I also referred Smy to here so he may stop by and post soon (hopefully).
I'm working on getting this monster alive (kinda like the frankenstein monster)

awesomeness!
One quick question:
I'm not sure how this forum board works compared to EzBoards, but is there a way that we can turn OFF signatures and Smileys in the stories forum (this one) so that it'll load faster without having to deal with all the loading time of those?
