Forever Knight's Enforcements (originally located at http://www.naturesong.com/enforcers/) was the faction site for the Enforcements faction of Forever Knight fandom. This faction is affiliated with the Enforcers, a canonical vampire goon squad who ruthlessly enforce the code that that the existence of vampires must be kept secret from humans.
Site Design
All pages in the website are basic black, with a large logo-cum-image map extending across the top from the left. Each page also features the faction symbol at the bottom left.
Site Contents
Much of the website is devoted to providing background information on the Enforcers as they appeared in Forever Knight, and listing movies, TV shows, and games that "remind" members of the Enforcers, since they feature either vampire-killers or enforcer-type goon squads. There is also a gallery of screen captures of Enforcers from the one episode in which the Enforcers appeared, "Unreality TV".
The "Enforcer Camp Songs" page includes filk, a jokes section, and a series of graphics that can be used as links banners. In addition there is an "Enforcers War Songs" page, with more filk.
The "Enforcers Training Camp" is a comic multi-page "training session" in the form of a multiple-choice Q&A game on the proper behaviour of an Enforcer in various circumstances—which is mostly to do nothing, unless the secret of vampires' existence is actually in danger. In 2003, a counter recorded that 178 people had "gone through the camp".
A large section of the site (the "War HQ") relates to War Ten, the only Forever Knight War in which the Enforcements took part as a separate faction. Included are the faction members' War 10 biographies and/or permission slips. Each participant had a "card", which was a personalized graphic (similar to an avatar). There was also an account of the faction's Supplies and Equipment, and a list of Enforcer characters who are fanon in fanfic written by faction members. There is also a page on locations that appear in the Enforcements' posts. This included schematics of the Enforcements' headquarters for the War, floors B1 and B2 of the Canada Trust Tower; and a description of the fictional Blackwood Arms Hotel in Toronto, part of a chain of hotels owned by the Enforcer Guild.

Site History
From the counter date at the bottom of the index page, the site was created on 1 Jun 1999; and the contents indicate that it was actively updated throughout the summer of that year. It was first recorded by the Wayback Machine the following year; and remained unaltered until it disappeared from the web sometime around 2003.
Although much of the site still exists, a large graphic on the FAX page (probably a collage) is missing, as are several pages of the "Enforcers Training Camp" game. Although the stories and screen captures were recorded, all the graphics related to War 10 are missing.
