I remember when I used to lurk around this site one guy complained about the attitudes of the members. I also remember this one guy who used to post here just to talk smack about Voyager and Enterprise. I think his name was like Q or something.

Better to be a smart-ass than a dumb-ass wouldn't you agree?
I like the way we Flare-ites are tough on new people. I really can't stand IM speak, or people who ask dumb-ass questions that a five second google search could answer. And I'm glad to say this is one of the few forums where that's not a problem. And the more we keep out people who "tak lik dis an dont no how 2 uze a kibored" then the better off we'll be.
This forum is the best on the net, and the way to keep it that way is to keep out the half-wit dinglenuts who think Kirk should have blown up the Klingons in Star Trek VI or whatever, you know who I mean...

Yeah, "his" little incident made me nervous about my first posts. Thought you guys would bite my head off or something. What ever happened to "him" anyway?

He ran away it looks like. That was...like...*shakes head*
I didn't have toooo tough of a time, but I lurked for almost a year before I really started posting much, which I always recommend anyway...Lurking gives you a good idea of the unwritten rules of a community.
And I am *so* glad this forum has who it has. I was so freakin' sick of "liek kirk kicks picards butt cuz he was like always shootin 1st and aks questiom later lolololol picard drinks tea and lieks classical music lololol"

Yep. I have a friend who dispises Star Trek, and constantly sends me emails saying " Star Track Sucks" or"Star Treck stnx. The 4ce will git u."
Urks the hell out of me. Not the Emails themselves, but the spelling....makes me squirm in my dungarees. YOu remember passing notes in class? Now because of phones that is largley a thingof the past, but everytime someone passes me a note, I proof read it. That'll teach those cotton headed ninny mugins...
And what is with lol? You are not laughing out loud if you are typing it.

I usually put people on ignore on the VB forums I go to when they can not type without the short hand crap.
