who is Leebo? Being a Terry Pratchett fan I am only familiar with Greebo.
Hi guys, newbie here. I'd recently been thinking a lot about STV, a Trek forum I was a member of many years ago, wishing it still existed, when I googled and found this place. I actually remember finding trekbbs in the 2000s, I think I signed up at one point maybe but was never active. Anyway, I haven't had a chance to explore the boards yet but thought it was probably smart to say hi first.
Welcome!
Thanks you 
Leebo is a droid co-pilot of Dash Rendar in the game 'Shadows of the Empire'.
Thought I should say hello. Decided I wanted to try and participate in a forum and thought Star Trek was a good theme and as I've watched a lot of it over the years I have some bits to talk about. I've also been watching the new Trek output. Hope I will get the hang of this and don't say anything too daft!
Greetings, Cadet Lumis reporting.
I'm primarily a graphic artist, and recently I've started my own project (after having seen several fan attempts including the Star Trek Design Project) to take my own stab at creating a chart for every rank insignia and emblem in Star Trek: starting with the Federation (since as the PoV of Star Trek, they'll have the most insignia to have to complete, so best start with them). I've actually joined this forum hoping to find help in IDing props and general ideas on how to bring several insignia to life for the chart (since as much as possible I've relied on images of the actual Props for TOS -which was surprisingly the easiest-, and TMP -which was trickier and I had to buy the Star Trek Graphic Sticker Book-).
I'll post my WIPs in fan art and I hope you'll like the results so far!

Welcome to the board, @Cae Lumis !
Hello fellow Trekkies! Tis is my first post on the forum, and I'm looking forward to exploring the various threads here. I'm a lifelong Trekkie, started watching TOS back in the early 70s when I was young (I'm not young anymore 
).
I'll be attending STLV 2023 in August, my first Trek convention since the 80s. I wanted to engage with other Trek fans, googled Trek forums and this one popped to the top of the list, so here I am.

Welcome, @BandoOfBorg ! I hope you enjoy it here!
Thanks!
I'm pretty sure I signed up for this board about two decades of usernames, avatars, reading/not posting, and email addresses of eventually greater maturity in them. (What was clever and witty when you're 15 isn't quite the same joyride when flirting with 40.)
Grew up watching TNG and DS9 on TV, tried watching VOY on TV--same issue as I have with it on streaming--I can never get interested in VOY for some reason. I like the individual characters, I like the story line, it's all good on paper but I just can't get into it. I saw ENT on TV and am one of the six people who loved it. Saw all the movies in theatre starting with ST:VI. Slowly coming around to the rebooted side of things and PIC, DIS, et al...but I have my comfort zone well established between TOS and ENT and will probably always wind up back in that era one way or another.
Canadian here, big into travelling, news and current affairs, pop culture, more travelling, stand-up comedy, and maybe a glass of wine or four and a few big family-style meals along the way.

There are a lot of people who love Enterprise.. We are there. I like that over Voyager which I can watch but only in small doses.
Today is my 20th anniversary of being a part of this collective. It's actually quite boggling to think I've spent this amount of time here. In the past 20 years, I've:
- held 6 different jobs.
- got divorced
- got remarried
- moved 7 times
- witnessed the birth of a grandchild
- been a part of 8 community theater productions
- bought a house
- owned 4 different cars
- lost 115 pounds
Happy anniversary!
