Many of our features include the following
1. A map of the Galaxy, complete with custom planets and custom factions created by players. This map has had countless hours put into it. Seriously, it's out of control.
2. On-the-fly faction creation. Just joined the forum? Want your own faction, like the Empire or the Rebellion? Dive right in. Each faction has a multitude of features, includes the ability to create reference pages and your own forums.
3. Custom created Timelines. 3/4 of the Star Wars Galaxy was wiped out when the Gulag plague happened! The board's timeline starts when everyone began to pick the pieces back up. While the timeline is very loose - we've had like, 6 Sith Emperors and 4 Sith Empires in what Staff has officially called "6 years" (so much in so little time!) - feel free to dabble around as you like. The timeline really only progresses with Staff-ran Events, of which we've tried to have one or two every 6 months.
4. We've got our own Blogs and our Shoutbox, if you're into that.
5. And more! There's so much going on here, feel free to stop by and give us a shout. If you do, mention Tefka by typing @Tefka.

Style Customization: Ehri over at www.ipbfocus.com. He also has a Xenforo site, www.xenfocus.com. In my opinion, he's done some of the best IPB forum and has posted a lot of tutorials over at his IPB website for customization. I bought one of his premades, Villain, and did the rest myself.
Addons: Probably an embarassing number of add-ons like everyone else. I won't list them all, but the ones to note are Rsyvarth's Social Groups (renamed to Factions via phrases), some obscure subaccounts add-on I obtained way back in the day under the table from the guy who commissioned it (Waindigo's is far superior), IP.Blogs and IP.Content. I was using Pages for it's simplicity as opposed to IP.Content, but I ended up with way more content as time progressed and needed a more complete content manager.
Other things are small, such as rank titles, shoutbox, inactive members manager, etc. But it adds up.
