A BIG WELCOME

Welcome aboard Tantive XI


A while back a bunch of us decided to create a SW vintage forum: Tantive XI. After many months of hard work, we are excited to announce that we are finally ready to share the forum with the community. From Dec 16th we'll be going live and will be open for the whole community to join.  

Our mission is to bring quality contributions to all of the different aspects of our hobby (MOC, MIB, oddballs, loose variants, bootlegs, and many more vintage collectibles) and to stimulate open discussions around the collectibles that we all love so much. Moreover, we hope that our forum will provide a 'A New Hope' in these dark times, within which the fora have lost their impact and previous high traffic due to the increased popularity of Facebook. However we do acknowledge the strength of Facebook and do not oppose it. It has its place in the collecting world and we hope that our platforms can complement each other. We hope that Tantive will combine the best of both worlds and serve as a bridge between FB and traditional forum activity. Our Facebook Page will hereto serve as a Bridgehead.
Our mission can be read in more detail right here: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].

Tantive XI is supported by a heavily modified platform allowing for modern functionality, which – we hope - will provide a unique and pleasant "look and feel" experience for our crew. Just to give you an idea - right now we are in a test phase, which allows our members to tag each other in posts, get instant notifications, and attach photos directly from smartphones or PCs via TXI's Tractor Beam. We're also in the process of creating an extensive reference database (“[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]”) for the community.

Please have a look around the different sections of the forum and let us know what you think. Your feedback can be as in-depth as you like (or not) and we appreciate your honesty about aspects of the forum you may not like. We will take your suggestions seriously and will use these to hopefully boost the experience of our future members.
We invite you to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and to voice your opinion in the [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. Also please have a look in [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to quickly find out how to register as a new member, how to post pictures, or how to change your avatar.   

We have to emphasize that the site is a 'Work In Progress', and that we are now in a stage heavily depends on the input of new crew members to progress further. So if you miss a certain aspect of the hobby and would like to see it here, simply tell us and we can make it happen, together with you. For instance we may be able to set up a devoted project team around your project X.  

If you need any help please feel free to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].
