Hi Moo. Here are the answers that you seek...

1. There's a dropdown menu on the main Photics.com page. Just look in the "Categories" section. There's selection for all three of the items you mentioned...

• Fanzines
• Lost In Ascalon
• Video Guides

2. It does take activity from the community to get things going. Your post is a good catalyst for forum activity. There are a few problems to combat right now. One, some people are tired of rejoining the Photics Forums. Who knows if they'll stick around this time? Two, a large portion of content on this website has to do with Guild Wars. Since Guild Wars is in sleepy mode right now, it's not surprising that this site is also not as active. Three, the site is unfinished. I wasn't expecting to start running a forum again. That means the WordPress portion of this website and the vBulletin portion of this website should look the same.

Once vBulletin 3.7 is out of beta, I should be able to make design improvements to the site. More importantly, I'm going to try and import the old posts. I still have the old forum backed up, but the beta version of vbulletin doesn't have an import feature.

3. Fist of Photics is not in good shape to lead in the original Guild Wars series. Things should be quite different for Guild Wars 2. The original series is done. ArenaNet has moved on to the sequel, so it's hard for me to care about the orginal game. Logging into the game feels like walking into purgatory. What would we accomplish? What would be the goal of the alliance?

4. Ummm... if you haven't noticed, I've been upgrading the technology available at this site. You can create your own groups and you can create your own blog.

I've basically set up a nice place to play. A new plan has been created. It's just WAY early. Basically, I always wanted to run my own arcade. Yet, how much fun is it to stand around and count coins? Instead, Photics is something of a virtual arcade. It will be a place for gamers to hang out. The Photics Arcade will likely return, as I'm waiting for the new version of v3 Arcade. Fist of Photics will likely dominate in Guild Wars 2, but the guild is no longer limited to just one game. I'm figuring that there will be a surge in traffic once Guild Wars 2 is in public beta. Activity around here should pick up.

I plan on continuing the gaming news thing too, as having something to discuss is usually good for a forum!
