The Stargate Archive are pleased to announce the immediate launch of our new community forums, whilst there are a few things still to do and launch the team are ready for the new community to go live.
One of the main benefits of our new forums is they are based off the popular v Bulleting suite and not out previous offering of a phpbb, you will notice a whole host of improvements such as:
- Create your own photo albums
- Quicker and easier navigation
- Akismet integration – this should help to reduce forum spam
- Imbed video directly from YouTube
- Create your own mailing lists
Unfortunately we have been unable to transfer over all of the data that was in our previous community, and therefore some topics and threads have been lost. Anyone who was previously registered will need to re-register, as we are still in the process of completing a work around to import all old user accounts.
We hope that you enjoy the new community forums, and interaction that is built directly into them. As always if you have any suggestions please do not hesitate to contact the Stargate Archive we value all feedback.
Kind Regards,
The Stargate Archive Team

The Stargate Archive is pleased to announce that the site has now been fully restored following our recent down time due to our web hosting provider, please be rest assured we have put measures in place to make sure that this does not happen again.
Whilst the site has re-uploaded over 30 GB worth of data the team have been busy working on a few visual improvements to the site which are now live, you may have noticed that we have widened the content area by 150 pixels, this brings the overall width of the site more in line with todays modern screen resolutions.
The Stargate Archive team would like to personally thank everyone for their continued support especially over the past 6 days whilst we have been busy making changes and improving things.
Coming soon will be a brand new community forum which will feature a whole suite of powerful services and features along with a brand new welcome page when you first land at the Stargate Archive. The new welcome page will feature personal customisation and tighter integration with the sites core services.
Thanks again for your patience, we really do appreciate it.
Kind Regards,
The Stargate Archive Team
