Well said, but something tells me that no matter how hard we try, there will always be little (and sometimes large) squabbles going on here and there.
I'm not pointing fingers. I hope we can all see a change around here, but we've been wanting to see a change here for months.
If we really were the organization we say we are, we'll all grow up and learn from this. I seriously doubt that, and whoever gave/released/used the password, read my quote in my signature...

And speaking of Goffy, or "Ex Trek God", it's a wee bit of a joke.
He's been around since before the beginning of these forums, and used to run the famed STZ until it's untimely demise.
Most of the "God" stuff is merely fun and joking around. We're here to have a good time, and that's what we do. We laugh, poke fun at each other, and the like. That's why I, and many other people come here.
It's also why we moved from the now defunct SFCR. All of our friends we had made at the forums were leaving, and there was no sense in staying. This place was built on friendship, and mutual love for a great series with grand ideals.
I don't want to see that change.

In any group of individuals, squabbles will arise. It wouldn't be healthy if they didn't. It's when these disagreements explode across the countryside, or turn "bloody" as it were, that they need to have an end put to them.
(Gods, I sound like NATO!)
So. Find the person who gave out the password, smack 'em upside the head, say "frickin' idiot" with a Dr. Evil accent, and don't trust 'em with any more juicy tidbits. And let it go.
And if that doesn't work, send in the ground troops.

I know I might be "opinionated" at times, however I do it out of the love of Trek. Just consider this - I posted the Sal Paelo (SP?) thread and a few other because for most part it seemed more like a ship spotting area - no discussion - look at what happened Now many might say I was rattling cages, however it got everyone talking again!
As for the Ex-Trek God thing - It is just a joke. I have been around here from the beginning - hell, I co-founded the place with CC!
Actually the Trek God thing is somewhat of an inside Behaviour Group joke - but that is another story.......
As for the fighting. Well, over the years I have usually ended up being involved in these fights one way or another and I have to say, standing previously where CC stands now, I know what he is going through and I understand his decision.
To moderate something as powerful and large as this is a difficult job - sometime you tread a very fine line between what is wrong and right.
I think that CC is doing a great job of running this place and many people should just get off his back.
However there are people out there who are obsessed with this place - be it a good or bad obsession. That is the only reason it happens. They get paranoid that people are talking behind their backs. 2 months ago it all blew up again, however by now it had died down - however the people in question as paranoid about it - they want to get access to places that don't concern them.
Unbeknown to many this happened with the BG private forums - people thought we were planning to take over the world - rumor spread and life got terrible. We even had hackers trying to get in and read what we were doing....!
1) I am not trying to take over the world. Just a fairly large chunk of it.
2) Anybody who thinks this bunch could act in concert long enough to take over the world needs to have his "haid ezammined." We can't even agree on the sizes of imaginary ships!
3) I AM saying things behind your back... but only to my friend the Invisible Platypus Hugo.
4) Anybody obsessed with this place has got to go get a flippin' life.
5) That said, I should really really try to quit logging on from work. o_O
6) I hate smurfs.
7) This post has run on too long, and I've just about run out of things to state "for the record."
8) This is the last thing I have "for the record."
9) Really.
