Are these factions active or even useful anymore to devote forum space to in the groups section down below? I was just wondering if perhaps that space would be better used for those factions who need or could use such space but doesn't have it yet, ie, the Contegorian Confederation/Palestar Crusade, etc.

BDE does and doesn't, its complicated but hopefully soon to be resolved. Don't worry about it though, theres alot more forums out there than you or I can see. Not like theres a limit on them available.

*blinks*

I was wondering if theres a smuggling forum around here thats active?

The more things change the more they stay the same.

/sigh

The Rebellion forums actually have been in use, albeit not to the public eye...

This is something that, needless to say, the staff is aware of, and is aware that it is more complicated than it may publicly appear.
