As per this forum terms of service, this would be considered "SPAM", right? It's a shame.

I suppose in a sense it is....but would there be any complaints if it was, say...Nimoy or Sternbach or Okuda or someone of that sort having a chat at said website or any other?

Exhibit A: This is his first and only post.
Exhibit B: It has a frikkin banner in it.
Exhibit C: The general tone of this post and it's title is that of a commercial
Exhibit D: It has a FUCKING BANNER.

I put forward that this post indeed constitutes SPAM. Spam for good (?) things is still spam.

Picard: Mr. Crusher, what's our maximum speed this week?
Wesley: [checking manual] Uh, 9.4, sir.
Picard: Very good. Take us to Warp 9.8 then.
Wesley: Aye, sir. Warp 9.2 it is.

It certainly seems spammy, but I'm willing to believe some people might be interested in it. So I've removed the links. But I expect there's enough information left that someone could figure out where to go if they really want to.

LOL! Well he told me he won't unblock you on AIM until you move away from his bedroom window and stop stealing his paper. [Big Grin]

I think you're missing the point here, Alexander. If chumley shows his face here again it'll be a miracle. They spam, they leave.

. . . And then waited 4 months to make his first post. Be a while before he can attain the Status of 'Tim-Like.'

Sorry you guys feel I "made an attack" and "spammed" the site. I do come here and read posts although I may not post. I knew about the chat and "assumed" that Star Trek fans, which some of you are, would be interested to know of an event in which you could chat with a "popular" Star Trek author. I see other posts about impotanat Trek or other related events. What's the difference? Just because it was my first post?

I guess since BookTrek has another chat coming up with another popular author I won't bother posting about it here!

You guys are insensitive, mean and cruel!

Nah. We're just highly skeptical. And insensitive, mean and cruel.

It's just.. we never heard of you, and you suddenly come up with banner and a link. How is that not spam?

If you just introduced yourself, and asked politely if we would be interested (meaning, NO banner), it might have worked.
