Three Years Of Starscream: A Celebration
- Thread starter CaptainWacky
- Start date
This reminds me of a particularly awkward moment in my past. A tall gentleman fetched up at the counter of a wine store that rendered me gainful employment and behind whose same counter I was standing, seeking some wine advice. Said gentleman sported a pair of very dark sunglasses, and I was finding it really distracting to our talk. As it became clear that we would be engaged in conversation for some little time, I ventured to say that I was having a hard time talking to him behind his sunglasses. With all good humor, he doffed them—only to reveal that underneath he wore an eyepatch! I was of course quite embarrassed but had to wade through the rest of the conversation as though all were normal. Why I had made my request of him but of none of the dozens of other folks who had patronized the establishment in similar fashion, I will never know.
Thanks for reminding me of a terrible misstep, Wacky.
Oh, and happy three years here! May you stick around another three.
Practical woman!
Forget vacuums, you should have Roombas.
I hope I can do the same next year!
Here we are again, gathering to commemorate a time when the only Trek content to discuss was ENT and the Nemesis movie. A time before YouTube and Facebook existed. A time when the 21st Century was brand new, and we wondered what incredible things the century had in store for us as we inched closer to the date of First Contact. Here we are 20 years later, and instead of searching the skies for Vulcans, we're pleading for a Giant Meteor to come and wipe us out during election years.
WOO HOO HAPPY ANNIVERSARY AND MANY MORE WHILE WE ALL AWAIT OUR ROBOT BODIES!

^you're propably too young to genuinely enjoy nostalgia
Nostalgia just isn't what it used to be....
It's interesting that I never lived up to the early potential I showed. That I never actually evolved beyond my initial comedy troll persona to become a normal poster here, never actually made more than a dozen honest "this is what I thought of that tv show!" type posts. That I made more posts in those first three years years than the next eighteen combined. That I'm only known for being "the guy with the thread bumped once a year" rather than for anything else I've contributed to the board. That my best years are so far behind that they feel like they happened to a completely different person, the memory of them too clouded and fractured to ever provoke genuine feeling in me.
Starscream? Can't say I know him.
HAPPY TWENTY ONE YEARS ON THE BOARD, ME!!!!
You dropped the mic at your peak. And, more than a decade after you stopped putting any effort in - you still retain some renown. That's a win in my book.

And this from a guy who is the walking definition of over the top histrionics
I remember when Jethro's avatar got banned for nudity or something and I bet that's partly why he's still using it twenty years later; to spite whoever banned it. (It's possible this didn't happen I don't know! I don't think that's correct use of a semi colon either; I just like them.)
Okay, I've decided this is the year I'll STICK AROUND and make ONE THOUSAND POSTS all across the board by this time next year. Then instead of saying "wow that guy who posts once a year is back" everyone will be saying "wow I can't believe hot new poster CaptainWacky has been here for twenty two years!"

But you made quite a few honest "this is what I think" posts and that's quite an achievement imho. Also, I can't remember a single incident of hate speech or flaming from you, nor a single case of bad grammar or wrong spelling.
Only very few people have the gift to voice their opinions correctly and in a non-offensive manner.Happy anniversary! Here's to the next 20 years of interesting discussions
Four posts outside this thread done; I'm well on my way to reaching one thousand by this time next year!
(The remaining nine hundred and ninety six posts will all read "#RENEWTHESNYDERVERSE".)

First reply in howmanyyears for me, here now, and am kinda happy that I -for what ever reason- all of a sudden recieved mails about this thread happening again am finding myself readig stuff from here!
I feel as if one of the better times I've ever had on-line is reappearing without me knowng why!
I love reading that you guys still exist!
Might even consider coming back to this wonderous place again!
I hope every time I reply to this thread everyone who has ever posted in it gets an alert on thier phone telling them of the urgent news.
I've been pondering this, because you know, pondering is what you do when you get old, and it dawns on me--maybe you are the people's elbow of the trekkbbs. While it doesn't accomplish a lot, people go nuts and chant "Finally, the Captain Wacky has returned to the Trekbbs."
If you smell what Jethro's cookin...
Yer Pal,
Jethro (Captain Wacky is without a doubt. Thee… MOST electrifying man in Trekbbs entertainment today!) Elvis
I just have to drop one of these every few years and I'll make it to the TrekBBS Hall of Fame alongside MerloMo, Enterpriser, Pikachu's Ballsack and BobbyT.

So how old is @Starscream2112 now? And how has his perspective of this BBS changed over the years?
I...didn't even know there was someone here actually using the name Starscream.
Who even am I.
Who even am I.
Well that was nice OP.....Now I feel funny.
I thought Starscream was an alien robot with narcissistic tendencies.
