Things are changing just a bit
« on: September 19, 2024, 02:16:00 AM »
Sorry guys, I haven't been in here for a bit. Long story, but overall we are still here and I plan to stay for as long as there is Star Wars.

That being said we will be changing a few things, namely Darth More taking over the daily postings and updates. Please give us a chance to get these new changes off the ground.

Sorry if we scared anyone, I know some of you have over a decade of work posted here, we wouldn't just close up shop like that.

Yes, I was shocked when I read Patty's announcement this morning just half an hour after he shared the sad news. I also received an email with the post so I assume that one went out to all members?
Anyways I'm beyond happy that there's still hope! I was going to start collecting what I shared on here since 2009.

It's so good to see you back on board, Shawn! Please, stay and watch us share more fun and love for our favorite stories of a galaxy far, far away...

Yes I just sent a new message to assure folks we were still here.

Pat was just trying to help me out as I ease into a new way of doing things here at ISY.

Thanks for the patience folks.

Sorry to read that, but I really can understand. I had to follow the same way years ago, it's not an easy decision.

It's the end of an era.

I try to get the front page running, again. Meanwhile, do you have any wishes or suggestions for our beloved forum moving forward?

I brainstormed and collected a few ideas. Your thoughts are very welcome so please share them here.

I've been working with AI recently and came up with a couple questions. So I asked ChatGPT:

1) What is the website Imperial Shipyards all about?
2) And how popular is the forum among other?
Here's its response:

1) The Imperial Shipyards website is an online community dedicated to collecting and customizing action figures, particularly those from the Star Wars universe. It provides a platform for collectors and hobbyists to showcase their creations, participate in contests, and discuss news related to action figure collecting.

The site regularly features updates on new products, tutorials, and user-generated content. (imperialshipyards.net)

On the associated Facebook page, members share their latest projects, engage in discussions, and keep up to date with upcoming events and challenges. (facebook.com)

Additionally, the Imperial Shipyards Twitter account is active in providing updates and news. (twitter.com)



2) The Imperial Shipyards website is a specialized online community focusing on customizing action figures, particularly within the Star Wars universe. While it is a well-regarded platform among enthusiasts, its popularity is more niche compared to broader forums. The site hosts a dedicated forum with over 218,000 posts across nearly 7,000 topics, contributed by approximately 2,666 members.

In contrast, larger forums like Reddit or specialized subreddits related to action figure collecting and customizing have significantly higher user engagement and activity levels. Therefore, while Imperial Shipyards is a respected and active community within its specific interest area, it doesn't match the broader popularity of larger, more general forums.

So what are your ideas? Which way shall we go together? Please, tell me your wishes and suggestions.
