From

The is no need to change the names of the forums.

Maybe just change ST:Ent to Enterprise since that's really the name of the show, isn't it? Other than that, I'd say leave it, don't wanna clutter up the Board too much and don't we all know what those abbreviations mean???

i think its easer the way it is

[~Crims~ 0]

People must be confused really easily if they can't figure out that Star Trek: DS9 is the Deep Space 9 forum

[Lessa_Soong 0]

if one is smart enough to understand Trek, one should be smart enough to get that TNG = The Next Gen.

 

It's all good!

Agreed. These boards are made for fans of Star Trek. We all have at least a basic knowledge of Trek and are obviously intelligent (since we like Trek). I don't think there are any problems with the board names.

Just leave it the way it is... If the people actually watch star trek they will know what it is.... No need to change them...

[Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1]

I voted yes. Not becuase of confussion, but becuase I don't like abreviations in place of official titles.

 

Besides, we all know it's Star Trek... Why not just put the name of the series and drop the "Star Trek" part?

[RikerChick 5]

Doesn't matter to me. Either way is fine. I like Picard's idea though.

I like Picard's idea. Otherwise I think it should be left the way it is. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

[A l t e r E g o 9]

We all get it, I vote leave it.

[master_q 0]

I think we should just leave it.

I don’t see any big or necessary reason to change them.

 

So I voted “No, I think they are fine as they are (Read posting before voting)”

What would be the difference between abbreviating the series name and dropping the Star Trek? If you drop Star Trek from TNG, DS9 and Voyager you are abbrievating their titles because Star Trek is part of their official titles.

TNG? The Next Gen? Are you talking about The Next Generation?

 

J/K of course. I voted that I really don't care either way. I think that they work just fine the way they are but if they are changed than I don't see that it will change the way I post much. I will say that perhaps changing ENT to Enterprise and VOY to Voyager might not be a bad idea. But I think TOS, DS9, and TNG work just fine.

[gdog243 0]

I voted for the third option, mainly because I think Star Trek: ENT should be changed to just Enterprise. That is the name of the show after all.

[mrskirk 0]

Hey, thanks for asking for our input on this!

 

I voted no, leave them as they are. I agree with many of the previous posters who point out that Star Trek fans are more than aware of what TOS, TNG, VOY, DS9, and ENT stand for. We also know what TMP, TWOK, TSFS, TVH, TFF, TUC, GEN, FC, INS, and NEM mean too!!!

[Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1]

I guess I'm the only one annoyed by abreviations...

[VaBeachGuy 12]

Ok the No's have it, we don't change the board names. I myself don't see it as a big issue if the shows are abreviated. Everyone here knows what they mean. One change I will make is for Enterprise. I had formatted it the same as the others only so they would be "Dress right dress" (for those of you never in the military that means uniform and neatly in order).

[Sam The Smuggler 1]

Hmmm...can't Vote anymore???...ok then

 

 

But I'd just like to add that I think TOS Forum should just be called "Star Trek"...c'mon...we'll all know what it is...and that was the Name of the show :blink:
