Ten Forward Lounge - Miscellaneous General Chat & Welcome Thread




Recently it was brought to our attention by rhubarbodendron that some of the lounge posters would like an all-access lounge available to posters of any rank to interact. A place where they could have free-flowing conversations, spammy posts, games, post jokes or articles, share links to sites they like, and so forth without having to worry about whether there was enough content to justify a thread of its own.

MacLeod suggested calling it Ten Forward, which, as it happens used to be the name of the category under which all the lounges were carried back in the day, as pointed out by Jim Gamma. That seemed like a good choice of name for the new lounge thread to me.

Stickied threads tend not to get a lot of notice unless they're already established (like the video thread) so I'm going to keep this thread unpinned until it starts to get a following amongst the regulars, then we'll sticky it up at the top of Miscellaneous. I also need to do some housekeeping up there, so I'll be unstickying the rarely used existing welcome thread to free up some space. This can take its place.

So, please feel free to discuss whatever subjects you like (within the board rules) and have fun. While spammy posts (the non-solicitation kind) are welcome, please be mindful to not abuse it with an endless string of one word, rapid fire posts that go on for fifty pages just to up your post count. We want people to be able to have conversations here.

Hi, everyone! I'm new here! I love ST, especially ST:D!!!!

Hi @Vajrajohn , and welcome to the TrekBBS! I hope you enjoy it here! :)

Since there was a little issue with your quote tags, and I know you don't have the ability to edit posts yet, I have taken the liberty of moving your post outside of the quoted text. I hope this is OK.

Again, welcome aboard!
 
Welcome! Think I remember not being able to edit wow. I totally forgot that level of posting,. Welcome to trekbbs we trek here @Vajrajohn it is a great place for us to be with Star Trek discussion at the front of our minds...

Excellent..
 
Welcome to the board. A lifejacket is under your seat but the chances of needing a straightjacket are a good deal higher here :D
Don't worry, though: we're a bit crazy but mostly harmless
 
And there I thought everything went wrong on Monday. But a newbie is always something to brighten the week. It's fun to get to know new people and learn about their countries. Posting here is a bit like a trip around the world without leaving one's desk.
Welcome :)
 
Hi everyone, I'm new here and I thought I'd wave and say hi - my goal for 2020 (I don't really make goals so this is new for me) is to make new friends who like the same stuff/actors I like, and what better place to look for that than a Trek message board? So... umm... hi? :)
 
Who else is tired today? I am always tired on New Year's Day. It is a nothing to get done day for me. So I am just eating leftover food from our snack table and playing my husband's old video games on the TV. Yawn great way to start 2020. How are you all starting it? Anyone else as lazy or tired as I am??
