    He hasn't been online. But yes, you can like private conversations. It doesn't show up as anything, but it's a thing.

    Sure. I don't want to screenshot any of my private conversations, though, so I'll have to use you as a guinea pig. I'll fire off a private message to you, and I'll need you to respond so that I can screenshot it and post it.

    It's not the same as the ratings you can give posts. In private conversations, you just have the one option to "like" them. The sender will be notified, but it won't show up in the post in any way.

    Snipped from our conversation -

    Mods don't get any perks, and so it makes no sense for this to be a moderator-only function. I'll follow up with @Viral Hide.

    Not sure if this has been brought up before....can the Cantina have a "sad" rating of some kind? Especially in light of the recent deaths of Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, I have a difficult time "liking" posts related to things like that, even though it's essentially expressing agreement. And unfortunately, with the world as it is, sad news is going to come up at some point or another. Thoughts?

    I could see a "Moving" rating working as a positive rating to get this idea across. I'd suggest it be a neutral rating, but people get up in arms about those, and equating it to an upvote should provide for positive reinforcement.

    I dunno if this has already been suggested, but an a new area dedicated to fans of the EU/Legends would greatly be appreciated! And maybe do another for Old Republic Era fans as well?

    Seconding @Jawa Infiltrator's suggestion; a community dedicated to Legends would be very popular, I think.

    I would also suggest areas for fan activities: fanfiction, fanart, fan videos, and role-playing.

    I'm pretty sure that we already have those...

    EDIT: ...And I was right! The place where you need to go for those specific needs is here.

    Ah, so you do! Perhaps more visible, then. :p

    Although I still don't see much in the way of role-playing, beyond a very casual thread in the games lounge. If I may be permitted to link to my favourite subforum of my least favourite Star Wars forum (no worries if not), something like this: http://boards.theforce.net/forums/role-playing-forum.10852/ A role-playing subforum that isn't hosted on such a tightly controlled, ban-happy forum would be very popular, I can say that.

    Incidentally, I love your username. I have a very niche interest in Typhojem and Pomojema (which I don't consider to be the same entity), and a lot of theories about them.

    Huh, interesting! I didn't know that there was a counterpart to Pomojema.

    Indeed! Typhojem, the Immortal God of the Sith and also worshipped by a mysterious evil cult called The Five, and described in a cancelled work as similarly Lovecraftian in appearance. In the same cancelled work, Pomojema and Typhojem were to be merged, but Pomojema seems like a more benevolent entity.

    But that's a topic for another thread, I suppose. :p
