Hello and welcome to all our new members! Thank you all for joining, we are very happy to have you here. Please make sure you read our rules before jumping into the site. Also you will find any updates posted in the News & Updates box on the left of the main page here.

An important factor to keep in mind while here is that all photos, videos, groups, and site banners will have to be approved before it shows up here. This is done to help prevent spam, bots, porn, copyrighted material and so on.

For those unfamiliar with this type of site it is hosted on NING. NING is a fantastic server. It is not just a forum, but a full social network similair to Myspace or Facebook. In addition to the forum it also provides a chat room, groups, friend adding,customizable profiles, private messaging, games, applications, blogs, photo/video uploading and much more! So be sure to take some time to have a look around at all the fun things you can do here.

Some personal touches I have made include adding rss feed to Nightwish's myspace, video and other such blogs. Also I have made forum categories and groups for each band member and added a game page on here. In addition I have added a links section where you can advertise your own sites (Nightwish related and non related are welcome.)

The beauty of it is that groups and forum topics don't always have to be about Nightwish. You can discuss just about anything here. All I ask is that if it is posted in the forum that you select the appropriate category from the drop list for the topic you are posting and also do not make a group for something that we already have.

These are just some of the features offered and I will continuously be adding and moving things in order improve the site.

If you have trouble finding anything or figuring something out, or if you just have a suggestion please feel free to contact me. I do get ALL messages, just please give me adequate time to reply.

1. Absolutely no bashing of the band members past or present will be tolerated anywhere on this site!

2. Please don't wage any wars on people here. To clarify, friendly and adult debates are fine but please do not start flaming, cussing or insulting people here. You don't have to like or agree with everyone, just be respectful to each other while you are here or avoid them if you can't be.

3. Please refrain from using excessive profanity. Also please do not post any kind of porn, copyrighted material, or anything else illegal. To help cut back on this all photos, videos, etc. must be approved before it will show up on this site.

4. No spamming! If you want to advertise your site you are welcome to do so on your profile or send me your banner & I will gladly put it in the links section.

5. Please try to stay on topic. I realize this is not always possible and I am pretty lenient on it, but remember we have a chat room here for "chatting" and you can also message the individual as well. Also keep in mind that you can post about anything on the forum here, not just NW related stuff so please remember to put it in the proper category. Lastly please do not make a group for something/someone that already exist.

6. This is an American site so please only make post in English.
