VaBeachGuy 12 Posted January 6, 2004 I have been informed that STARTREK.COM will be closing their chat room completely. I want to welcome all users of the STARTREK.COM Chat room to our site and invite you to use our chat room. You will find a link to the chat room at the top right of the screen titled Trek Chat. Here is a link to help you find the room: STARTREKFANS.NET Chat Room We only ask that you keep things friendly and clean and have a great time. We also invite you to look around the message board and join in on some of the great discussions we have going, or start some new ones. Again, Welcome to STARTREKFANS.NET!

Captain Holland 0 Posted January 7, 2004 (edited) Good! I joined STARTREK.COM and went in there, I said Hello and nobody even responded. I did it a second time and 1 person responded. The people in there weren't very friendly. No offense to anyone who came here from STARTREK.COM. Edited January 7, 2004 by Captain Holland Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angela 1 Posted January 7, 2004 (edited) Hey, I don't know what time you went there, but ppl should have said Hi or hey, we normally do, it's one of the few reasons I stuck around. SHAME ON THEM IF THEY DIDN'T. We feel very welcomed by this site and hope this continues into the future! It is a sad day in ST.com's book that they feel the need to close their open chat room and force a significant proportion of their regular viewers to other venues, this has managed to catch all us fans by surprise. Therefore there is a huge shame on you from us refugee's to ST.com, a thank you to STF.net for their welcome and the promise of a slow but sure welcome reception from the refugees to anyone chancing on the chat room whilst we're there! Thank you, Uanadopted Angelic Edited January 7, 2004 by Unadopted Angelic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VaBeachGuy 12 Posted January 7, 2004 I think you'll find that many of us here are refugees from ST.COM, some of us have been here for a year some less time. Some have come from other places but the tie that binds us all together is a love of all things Star Trek. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3 of 7 0 Posted January 7, 2004 Hey, I don't know what time you went there, but ppl should have said Hi or hey, we normally do, it's one of the few reasons I stuck around. SHAME ON THEM IF THEY DIDN'T. If I remember right, the ones who didn't respond, weren't actually there. (Because the chatroom were filled up, and new chatters were moved to a empty place there noone others were, only their names. We used to call them ghosts. ) To Unadopted Angelic: Are you from Startrek.com? I am that too, and call myself for Borgfemale there. Do you remember me? :borgqueen: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shuttle 0 Posted January 7, 2004 I agree with what you say about startrek.com - their chatroom did tend to be a spam magnet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sttngfreek302 0 Posted January 7, 2004 I admit it- i frequent the lounge, but sometimes i neglect greeting people- sry! But on the positive side, the lounge may be coming back. "Indefinitely" they said, so there's no definite way to tell when it'll come back. if ever. however, it probably isnt. oh well. but at least we have this place to come to- cheers to startrekfans.net!

icanreadyourmind 0 Posted January 7, 2004 Hey i came from the st.com chatroom, and ill have to say some of the ppl in there wernt nice.....but a couple of them were nice....but this site is loads better, so they can shut it if they want too. -Icanreadyourmind Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nemesis 0 Posted January 8, 2004 Well Hello peoples, I came from St.com well in some ways didn't really chat there for a long time because people who chatted to disappeared somewhere in the galaxy so I stopped chatting then. I must say a lot of people there are friendly and a lot aren't just like the real world and you must also take in that ST.com attracted a lot of those only partial fans because it was a more direct site and so those people didn't share the love of Startrek as other people and only liked the explosions and phasers I take it and didn't really get the big picture. ST.com does offer many good things and will continue to do so such as STSF simming, a book club, and meetings with Star Trek stars which I have been to all (except the book club don't quite know when to go there). So don't judge it on a few bad expriences its a nice site for information on trek and I love it and I hope I grab the same feeling of this site Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Open chat means by letting anyone in. If what I suspect we will see an invision power board like this one. The admin did say there will be more boards. I aussme that there are going to be moderated this time. Two years is long enough, I wish they'd do it on the anniversay of the original launch. I may go back but I'll see what its like before I become a regular again. I think we all should give it a chance I mean everyone. At least post there and here when it comes back. I bet the lounge will return I am very certain it will. If not I will start a campagin to get it back! It was a spam maginate because we let it we didn't ignore the spammers in the first place and look what happened. We now have nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
