Hi, everyone. I'm new here, and figured I'd introduce myself. Yeah, I'm a Trek fan like most people here, mostly TNG and Voygaer. I got lost somewhere in DS9, so I'm just waiting for it to be replayed on syndication. Posted by MC Infinity (Member # 531) on :
Greetings linenoyz, most people here seem to be Trek Fans, but I've noticed little talk of Trek, but then again, I only go here and the Flameboard, not any other forums. Welcome, and good luck.
Posted by Daniel (Member # 453) on :
Welcome! If no-one else has gotten around to typing a reply here, it's probably because they're all crowding over at the "Pre-Enterprise Revealed!" threads. I hope you find us a pleasant crew. We can get a little hostile over points and such (just check the aforementioned threads ) but nothing too bad. We bash people with strong idiosyncratic tendancies as well. Just kidding. Well, sorta.
I'm a fan of all Trek except DS9. I'm very much into the ships and technology. But enough about me.
Check out the faq, read some threads, get up the courage to post among the veterans...see ya around!

Welcome to Flare, linenoyz! I second what Daniel said. Some of us are really passionate about Trek, some of us are just passionate about Trek, and some of us are just here to remind us that Trek isn't the only science-fiction out there. Most of us don't bite here, but I will warn you: to newbies a lot of us seem to be bitter 40 year-olds who life passed us by leaving us working at McDonald's for $5.15 an hour (I'm not one of those people. I'm only in my 20's. ). Just a friendly little warning, but almost all of the time it's just us joking around with each other.
Welcome aboard!

Thanks for the kind words and warnings. I might just lurk about a bit to get a feel for the place. I must say it's a beautiful UBB (what else would be expected from the great Charles Capps?).
Okay, enough sucking up.
Just to let you all know, I'm 21, from Florida, and I run two boards (one UBB and one vB). I ended up here after spotting a link on UBBDev, but I figure this place seems interesting enough to join.
See you all around!

Interesting, just interesting.... well, okay.... Yes, debating with some around here is like beating your head against a wall, or sticking your fingers in a blender and turing it on, although not as pleasent.... The use of periods, commas, and the such is almost mandatory, as is the use of the enter key, sometimes using paragraph breaks every now and again is also helpful. and,above all, watch out for VP-chops..... Posted by WERUreo (Member # 662) on :
I am also new here. Linenoyz is actually a friend of mine, and he let me know about this board. It looks pretty interesting, and I'm hoping to have some good discussions about one of my favorite pasttimes.
I am also a Trek fan, although probably not as hardcore as some here. I used to watch TNG, but never really got into DS9 and Voyager. I kinda wish I had gotten into Voyager, because after seeing the series finale, I realized I had missed something good.
I'm also a big fan of Star Wars. I can't wait for the release of TPM on DVD. Along with that, I'm just basically a hard core fan of science fiction.
Anyhow, that's me. See you on the boards!

"I kinda wish I had gotten into Voyager, because after seeing the series finale, I realized I had missed something good."
You definitely did not. Trust me on this one here.
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
Don't listen to Aethelwar. He knows not what he types. Posted by Aethelwer (Member # 36) on :
I sure do, tiger-boy. And it's Aethelwer. Posted by LOA (Member # 49) on :
*agrees with Aethelwer* Not a fan of the Voyager.....
Oh... and I'm LOA, the Almighty Queen of Pleh. I've been here forever, but you'd never know by how often I post I'm a workaholic, I like to jet ski, I'm somewhat crippled, and my car is possessed by satan. Also, I hate men.
And no... you can't see my picture

Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
Geez, I wear a pair of tiger-patterned bikini briefs ONE TIME and I'm forever known as "Tiger-Boy." Sheesh. Posted by PopMaze (Member # 302) on :
I too shall welcome the newbies. (I wonder how many "I'm new" treads we have?) I am PopMaze. I don't post all that often, but you'll notice I am a senior member, so I've been around. Here are few other things you ought to know:
Don't mess around with CC (Charles) or Jubes (CC's girl). They'll know how to make you life hell if you do.
Don't ask about the Defiant's length. PLEASE DON'T EVER DO THAT. It'll piss of Frank.
Also don't ask about the size of Sol's thing. We already know it's really big.
Let's see...ah! Don't spam. We hate both the internet and imitation meat kind.
And post your topics in the correct forums.
I'll add on if I can think of anything else.

Posted by Daniel (Member # 453) on :
Why doesn't someone just dig up that thread with the pics of her in it?
(Please don't kill me...)
Posted by The359 (Member # 37) on :
If you really want to be liked by the owner of these Forums, you should call him Chuckie. That'll definatly earn you some brownie points.
*runs*
Posted by MC Infinity (Member # 531) on :
Have any of you seen: "Bride of Chuckie" Wait, wouldn't that be Jubes? *runs too*
*corrects himself* If Liam goes in here and tries to ruin the joke, please tell him not to I do not know anything about their relationship and whether they're married or not, and no I haven't seen the movie.
Posted by MIB (Member # 426) on :
Hello Hello, linenoyz and all those who are new to this fine forum establishment! And welcome. I'm the local MIB agent. The government sent me here to monitor this place 24/7. The reason? Reports and other evidence about.....certian....things keep poping up around here. I'm here to keep those types of things in check. Not to mention the fact that it's a bitch keeping CC quiet about those anal probes he gets from the Grays on every first monday of the month. LOL
I am primarily in to the ships and tech of Trek. Hey! That rhymes!! Yo! Charles, I formally request that you rename the starships and technology section of this forum to "The ships and tech of Trek." I think it's catchy! ahem. I'm also a continuety freak and I have this deep fear in me that Berman is gonna do everything in his power to make Enterprise worse than Voyager. One more thing. I've been pissing people off since 1985! LOL. welcome.
And if you ask about the Defiant's length, it's 120m.
Posted by Daniel (Member # 453) on :
Haha!! There it is!
*prays she won't hunt me down while I sleep for suggesting...*
Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :
I got dibbs on Frank's admin position when Liz kills him.
Posted by Charles Capps (Member # 9) on :
I guess that explains why we had four regs today.
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Well, as long as everyone's introducing themselves, I will, too. I am your god. 'Course, I also lean toward atheism, so I'm not so sure if I believe in myself...
Posted by The359 (Member # 37) on :
LOA, why are you jumping on a box car? Are you a hobo or something...?
Posted by Nimrod (Member # 205) on :
Performance artist, maybe?
Hello, Linenoyz. I am Nimrod around here (in the classical sense of the word, that is). I'm from a place where polarbears crowd the streets and people have sex all the time. Care to guess?
You seem to be well versed in the ways of net forums, so you will probably settle in nicely. As long as you don't talk to the police we won't harm the rabbit.
Posted by linenoyz (Member # 657) on :
*In a classic Wakko voice* Hellloooooooooooo LOA!
Sorry, had to do it.
It's really nice to meet all of you. I do have one question, though. Where do you get all this technical information (and actually remember it all) for Star Trek? I mean, are you SURE that the Defiant is 120m long?
Oh, and TSN... Your little god/athiest thing just gave me a Hitchhiker's flashback. Oi veh.

The first part hints at where I am, but the second parts hints at where I want to be Posted by LOA (Member # 49) on :
*looks at the LOAOA* Ahh, the many lenghts of LOA's hair.... long, then short, then med, and today it's EXTRA long..... amazing, really....
Anyway, I have a complaint to make.... first of all, Omega, IF I kill Frank, I think it's only right that *I* take his admin position, seeing that I went through all of the work of opening it up. Secondly, I hate the LOAOA, but if it's going to be brought up repeatedly (as history tends to repeat itself), can we at least make it really cool looking? Please? Oy! Oh... and last of all.... *grin* Too bad y'all don't have any recent pics, no?
~LOA
PS~ I love jetskiing... just a thought
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
I have recent pictures... :-)
Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :
As do I. But I value my life. :-)
Posted by linenoyz (Member # 657) on :
Do you consider 3 months recent? heh...
I, too, value the pathetic life I lead.
Just what is the LOAOA anyways? o_O

Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
I've never heard reference to the "LOAOA" before. Methinks that Liz just got a little keyboard-happy typing her user name. Posted by MC Infinity (Member # 531) on :
I think I know, it's the LOA Official Album Yes, cuz it's the one we always show people and it contains pics, yes I am a genius, thank you, Infinity is IN the place Posted by Dukhat (Member # 341) on :
Hey! I want some incriminating pictures too! Posted by Kosh (Member # 167) on :
Hi, just some friendly advice, linenoyz, never wear anything made of wool, around Charles Capps. Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Infinity: Whatever "place" you're in is apparently the wrong one, because I believe "LOAOA" stands for "LOA Online Archive".
Posted by MC Infinity (Member # 531) on :
I was close, very close, ok, not very close.... Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Well, you figured out that "LOA" stood for "LOA", anyway...
Posted by MC Infinity (Member # 531) on :
YES!!I am a genius! Piss off Sherlock! Infinity is in the place! Posted by Aethelwer (Member # 36) on :
LOAOA is definitely LOA Online Archive.
Posted by Dukhat (Member # 341) on :
And the URL for that would be...? Posted by MC Infinity (Member # 531) on :
). Just a friendly little warning, but almost all of the time it's just us joking around with each other.
