"Due to the added functionality and the ongoing supply of information, pictures and surprises we are confident that we've created a site that will attract both gamers and Stargate fans alike", comments Ernst Satzinger of JoWooD.
"We are also proud to present the official forum board in co-operation with the major Stargate and SciFi fansites worldwide.
