Site Reopening Ribbon-Cutting This Weekend
After eight months of work, we are thrilled to officially welcome the SWG site back to the Internet with a ribbon-cutting party. In an effort to welcome our international member base, we will be holding two events on our Discord server. All are welcome, and you can join our Discord here. (Note that we've closed the open invite for this weekend. Logged-in SWG members can join Discord by scrolling to the bottom of the page and clicking the Discord icon. Visitors can message the mods for a Discord invite.) See below for the program for each event.
