Remember TrekBBS Cards???

[Gary Mitchell]

I must have had a touch of coma that year.

 

[Sakrysta]

I was only a cool kid back when starbys was making avatars and TerranBBS was the place to be. By the time the cards rolled around, I was an old fogey and completely disconnected from what the young whippersnappers were callingi "cool."

Okay, so I was never a "cool kid." But I wanted to be back then! Now I just sit back and smirk.

 

[Lindley]

I have my card somewhere. I need to dig it out.

I had a lack of internet that year, myself. Then again I never hung around much in Misc back in those days. Was young and foolish and spent most of my time in Trek Tech and TNZ (or it's neutered Lisa era equivalent) when I did get online long enough to swing by TBBS.

This may be forbidden...but all the who's who of the TNZ of that Era are at Wordforge...did you sign up there???

Was in the first round myself... However, after the gleam was worn off and my boredom set in, my trolling and public dislike of the management there resulted in... removal with prejudice. I've been ISP banned from even viewing the site and I have a nice little group of WF loyalists who still stalk me down in TNZ all the time.

The place is a swirling cesspool of negativity, anti-intellectualism, and megalomania, and it isn't worth server space.

Membership card? I kinda want one...

I wasn't here that long ago.

 

[WillsBabe]

Here's mine, made by the lovely Naira in the days before I'd started messing round in Photoshop myself. She did a great job with my random ideas. Note the lens flare. I was so ahead of my time!

That one is nice Willsbabe.

Anyone else who wants to make one just follow the template on the link in my 1st post.

These were fun to do at the time and fun to do again.

 

[Aragorn]

How long ago were these cards? I don't even remember seeing Jetfire until recently. Did you have a name change?

I was MIA for awhile.

 

[SPOCKED]

Mine's on my old pc which is in it's death throes, along with a ton of other stuff (LOTS of trekbbs memories). I'm a little scared I might not ever get it running again.

 

[Harkley]

Hey! That's my site! - just checked my referral thingy and got some hits from here

(hello old people)

 

[Mark de Vries]

Awesome, mine's still online on Harkley's site

I believe AdamJ made mine.

Maybe you weren't super cool like the rest of us...

Maybe not.

I kind of shunned this place after the big crash when the board turned gray, so it's possible I missed out on a lot during those years.

I remember these! Got some right here:

This quite a while ago. When I was still a lowly Commodore. Great lounge though! And look at how tiny my av was:

 

[137th Gebirg]

Here's mine. It's woefully out of date, though.

 

[Data Holmes]

It seems to have been largely a commodore based thing.

On another forum, I made "trading cards" for the members, and they had special actions and requirements, patterned after Magic: The Gathering cards. It was fun.

Some of these are pretty nice, too!
