Jedi Council Forums

The Jedi Council Forums, or JCs, are the message boards of TheForce.Net. According to Big-Boards.com, the Jedi Council Forums are the 15th largest internet forum.

Due to their size, each section of the JCs tends to have its own unique atmosphere, and many interpersonal disputes have arisen over the years as a result of members' conflicting personalities, particularly over different interpretations of canonicity, continuity, and content. Of particular note are the handful of VIPs who have seen fit to depart from the forums to avoid provoking yet more contention. Among these are authors Karen Traviss and Ann Crispin.
