Good idea, I very much like their chatbox

I think this is where you create a chat group but I don't know how you get it to the site.

I think that with a community as big and complex as ours we cannot just accept webs.com. We can use others, better clan-makers such as enjin.com, where we can have a working ts3 channel. We could expand to Star Wars 1313 if you want. Rep commando is almost dead. Swbf2 is almost dead too. We could move to BF3 or MW3, or even the Halo series, more specifically, Halo 4 or Reach. Just a couple of ideas. ( www.enjin.com)

lol remember this is star wars gaming order... but it's nice to see you back man. Look, now that I am thinking about it, let's just leave everything as it is except the homepage. We can think of adding support for other games later I guess. Even though the other games are almost dead too, I thought we should just give more options, even if it means only one or two new members. But, since it will be a lot of trouble, only the homepage to make it more appealing. Seriously, looking back, I remember I didn't want to join because it looked like some unknown and forgotten forums when I saw the first page lol... I was somewhat mistaken, but we could fix that. And plus, webs.com can substitute the homepage by paying 1 dollar (thus, eliminating the www.swgohome.webs.com thingy) so it will still be www.swgohome.com

Yeah, Narg is right. It wouldn't entirely matter, plus making a website on webs.com just looks... unprofessional.

If I may recommend something that may help with not recruiting new members, but rather improving the site experience entirely (not sure if I mentioned this already somewhere), take a look at the CDN (Content Distribution Network) CloudFlare.

If CloudFlare was enabled on this website, SWGO would save an average of 40% bandwidth and would have an increase in website speed globally by at least approx. 40%.

For example, my website had total of 601 MB of bandwidth transferred over, and CloudFlare saved 277.3 MB of that bandwidth. This is approx 45% of bandwidth saved.

Given that SWGO has many players from around the world, CloudFlare will help to increase their loading times.

Here is the entire network map of all 23 datacenters: https://www.cloudflare.com/network-map.There are a lot of features I didn't mention. The video on the main page of the site is what you need to understand it all.

Oh, and I forgot to say that it's completely free to use it. It's like Akamai Technologies, except free.
