Welcome to space, pilot!

SpacePilot3K was my second template, after Chronicles (which is also, at the time of writing, being updated) and as such, was by no means flawless. Ever since its release 3.5 years ago I haven't done anything about that, mostly because of a lack of time. Well, it's done now and includes several other changes and improvements. I hope the theme will be used by even more forum owners from now on and that it'll help bring more people to their online communities with its scifi look and blue coolness.

As for the name, as some have already guessed (kudos to you) the name comes from the first episode of Futurama, a show that met a too early demise though rumor has it they're blowing life back into it. Well, we'll see. Anyhow, enjoy the theme and if you like it, don't hesitate to send me an email or a few bucks, details follow below. :)

A lot of work and dedication has gone into the creation and design of this template. Because of that reason, certain terms of use apply, be sure you understand these as you by using this theme on your forums are legally bound by them. Should you have any questions, feel free to drop me a few lines. My website has my contact details.

If you like my work, please consider making a donation, it is much appreciated and helps me create new free themes. All contributors will be recognized for their contribution, unless they choose not to.

I hope you'll enjoy the theme. Should you have any comments, questions or ideas, review the FAQ below. If your question isn't answered, feel free to contact me by visiting my website. Because of a lack of time, I must ignore questions that are answered in the FAQ so make sure you read it carefully.

If you need support, the first place to post is here: phpBB Styles Development & Discussion. If the helpful people over there fail to answer your questions, post here. DO NOT EMAIL ME REQUESTING SUPPORT! I regret that I am unable to offer support by email due to my workload. I only offer it at my forums.

Be also sure to visit my other sites: bbstyles.net and forumthemes.org, great resources on web templates and design, where you can also download all of my themes.
