A Thanksgiving Holiday Gift!-- Ancanar.com Launches VERSION VI
Just in time for the holiday season. From Ancanar.com: "The biggest change is the introduction of the Commmunity system, where every visitor can create a detailed profile, including custom avatars, signatures, and personal information. Every visitor can send PMs (Private Messages) to each other, and even the cast and crew. Registered members will receive special benefits as the site progresses. The change we're most proud of is the introduction of site "themes." Once you've registered, you can choose the theme of Ancanar.com, be it Rammoth, Ceredin, or Elven Ruins. The site will always remember your chosen theme every time you log in. There are currently four to choose from, and more will be added in the future.
New additions also include the Grand Gallery, and the Library area, which takes the place of the Books of Lore section.
Visit Ancanar.com and become a part of this growing community of dedicated fans to this film. A film of truly mythic and legendary proportions
