The TrekBBS "I remember when..."

I remember having way too much time on my hands.

Sorry, but I was one of the moderators who had to deal with Brohi, and it got out of hand. It was cute for a while, but they started drowning out other posters. I didn't want to go in the lounge for a while. Jealousy had nothing to do with that- I just wanted to see other posters posting, you know? They didn't have to leave. It was their choice. They could be as lovey dovey as they wanted, but they tended to forget that there were other people around.

Keep in mind I'm not saying everyone was jealous, just some.
I don't know, I guess it's because I don't have anyone, I just like the feeling of being lovey dovey. I'm sure it would get annoying for a lot of people, but for me it's just something different.

Of course I think you'll agree if we're going to get spam (and we will as long as this board exists) I'd rather it be positive rather than negative.

"Where will you be when your diarrhea comes back?"

Somebody suggesting a good way to get the masses to watch Star Trek was to have a huge parade convoy going through every city advertising it, with floats, celebrities, etc. I forgot the poster's name, and couldn't tell if he was joking or serious, but damn that was a funny thread.

The TrekBBS Cop Show with me and JonathanWally as the two cool cops.

When the DS9 forums adopted MoJo as an "honorary Niner."

This TrekBBS member card somebody made for me. You can tell how long ago it was based on the characters who appear on it.

The first Caption This! contest I won. It was a picture of Baltar talking to reporters, and my caption was "I did not have sexual relations with that Cylon."

I remember one poster who would always post "girl trouble" threads. I can't recall the poster's name.
 
I remember when I had the Papa Lazarou avatar. It drew surprisingly very few complaints.

I might bring it back one day. :evil:
 
I remember when more people participated in the Genre babe of the week threads on a regular basis, not just for the big names! :(
 
As long as we're showing off old stuff we've still got.

With thanks, as always, to Flukie. :D
 
I remember the early days of my time here, when I literally owned Goji following an auction here on Misc.

Then I changed my username and the contract was deemed null and void. :(
 

Whatever happened to them?

They left the board. They weren't *ordered* to leave, they just decided to do so because a lot of people didn't like their wholesome image and overly romantic nature (whenever they were around, it was pretty much a love nest between them).

Not quite. The problem as I recall was the same as always pops up in Misc every year or so. In 2006 it was Brohi because every thread they posted in, as you said, became a love-fest, but it was to the point that it always overtook the threads. Everywhere. Some people, like you, found it refreshing, others found it excessive and tiresome. So much so that I ended up making this:

Anyway, I think the problem became that everyone kind of saw it for what it was --- they wanted an audience.

Once they realized that, they left. Its sad, because they could have easily stayed. I miss them too, because they were really nice people. But for some reason it had to be "their way or no way," so they left.

Me, I thought it was a nice breath of fresh air, and a great love story. :)
I don't know that I'd call it a "great" love story. Besides, the LoveJs were much better.

AFAIK, they're off enjoying married life in the real world. If they've since turned up anywhere on the 'net, I'm not aware of it.
They both still have LJs, however as far as I can tell neither have updated in quite a long time. :(

Stewey being the ultimate Enterprise troll, spending more time watching and posting about a show he hated than the biggest fans. Sort of like stj in the Galactica forum.

Mojo the ultimate Voyager gusher, who seemed to have a stick up his ass when it came to DS9.

Also, in the much more recent past, what happened to all those random soapbox or woe-is-me threads that Jayson and Good Will Riker would start?
 
Oh yes, I remember my original av:

Thanks to Etched :techman:
Same here. But then I had the same one for a few years. I hate change.

As you can tell, avatar sizes have improved with time. Mine was the max allowed when I first used it.
