Is there any chance that the forums could be upgraded to something modern in the near future? I would like to see something that is mobile friendly. It's really hard to read this site on my phone. I would like to be able to "like" individual messages. A media gallery and user blog could be fun. Being able to see a video from you tube in a post would be nice. Maybe add a user status feed? I can think of a lot more features that I enjoy elsewhere. This place is just become too out of date. Maybe there just isn't enough of us to afford it? We could pay for site privileges to help fund the site? Maybe a store? It seems like Star Wars web sites are frozen in time.

At this point in time, there is a far greater chance of site closure than site upgrade.
Always in motion is the future, but right now we're a dinosaur site serving dinosaur collectors and we're planning to stay that way until its over.

Good place for a grandpa Simpson gif

“Old man yells at cloud” ;D

Thanks Jeff and crew for keeping this dinosaur site running. The discussions in this forum are far more intelligent and balanced than any other site out there that I've found.

I concur!
I throw a few bucks every month via Patreon towards GalkacticHunter to keep Adam's Q&A going, I wouldn't hesitate to do the same here to make sure this forum stays active if you put the option out there.
This place is like a favorite broken-in recliner I can take a break in at the end of the day (or the beginning!) with no surprises.

Yes thanks to Jeff, Jesse, etc. and anyone who posts here. Nice to have a site where, not that everyone agrees, but no one seems to have an agenda and or wants to Troll

That's sad since that was what was said ten years ago.

Yeah site upgrades and software improvements/ integration are neither free, nor simple to do with all the migration of stuff, working out the kinks, etc. Jeff does what he does as best as can be hoped for when there isn’t a massive amount of income coming from anywhere, and time is finite. It’s kind of a blessing to have a hangout at all (since our forums are sort of still active actually) since I’m sure he’s thought of closing up shop simply from the time consumption aspect and him having an active family and work life. I know what little I have done has sometimes come at the expensive of time with the family, or a side project I need to do.

I'm not trying to be an ass, I just am one, but none of those upgrades would add to my JD experience anyway. I'm just happy Jeff keeps it going out of the generosity of his heart

I like your response. :D
