Jack_Bauer 1 Posted January 30, 2004 I was thinking a little while ago about all the new members that came over from the old StarTrek.com boards. No one in particular, just in general. Anyway, I thought what if we start getting problems like spam and constant arguments that seem to have been common at StarTrek.com. Then this line from 'Homefront' pops into my head: "It's our paradise and we'll fight to protect it." Then it hits me, Startrekfans.net is like Star Trek's earth. Before you think I'm crazy, hear me out. Before we all found this website we all fought in pointless arguments and then we came here and a 'new era of peace' has been ushered in. I know it may sound odd but I think there is a definite comparison. I suppose this analogy make VaBeachGuy sort of like Zefram Cochrane. Although, I must say that VaBeachGuy has the cooler hat. :) What do you guys think? Am I barking up the wrong tree or am I right on track? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ace 0 Posted January 31, 2004 This actually sounds like a pretty good comparison, Jack. I was never a part of the ST.com board, but I've been in more than a few others. This one is definitely the most peaceful. lol. Nice pic RC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
