TrekBBS Cards

[Adm_Hawthorne]

Does anyone have one (still)? I'm thinking of maybe reviving the tradition. Anyone interested?

 

[Tom Riley]

AstroSmurf had been trying to put up a website for them, and there was a thread not too long ago about them but I don't know where it's gone off to... I've got mine though Haven't updated the rank on it yet...

 

[Adm_Hawthorne]

May be time for an update on that one. I like the signature. It's a nice touch.

 

[Robert Maxwell]

I prefer to do them in a trading card style. Does anyone like that? I could make an attempt for a few people.

 

[Adm_Hawthorne]

Can you give me an example?

 

[Robert Maxwell]

Shit, I'll dig one up when I get home, if I can find them. I did some on other message boards years and years ago. Or I'll do one just for you. You want a picture of yourself or just Janeway to represent "you" on the card?

 

[Mary Ann]

Could one of you nice people please explain to a newbie what exactly these cards are, and how they work?

 

[Jenee]

I'm not a newbie, but I've never heard of the cards.

Why are you guys always keeping these things secret from me?

 

[Lindley]

I'm not a newbie, but I've never heard of the cards.

That's because they're seriously oldschool. Like, TrekTonight-era.

I think I've still got mine somewhere.

They were around in my earliest days, I remember maybe 5 or 6 posters linking to them in their sig.

Actually, my avatar right now, which I don't plan to change in the foreseeable future, is an excellent representation of me. As far as TBBS goes, I am Admiral Janeway!





But, seriously, yeah, a card would be awesome. Thank you!

Because i love you, Jenee...

The cards are, indeed, seriously oldschool. I really can't remember how they started, but a lot of us had them. I had one. It got lost in the great crash of my first computer.

Anyway, they represented us. It was like our business card, you know? It was just something fun.

I also miss Trek Tonight. That was a good time... good times... good times...

 

[Rek]

Yeah, I've never heard of them but you have peeked my interest.

 

[Shatna]

Hawthorne how the hell are you! Drop me a line some time.

Holy crap, where they hell have you been?! I will do so tonight!

We should start a Top Trumps: TrekBBS Edition.

 

[AstroSmurf]

I tried to do a new page for them in the last thread but only two people sent me something. I still have it set-up so if anyone wants to play send me your cards by PM!

Edit to Add: Here is mine...

 

[An Officer]

Wow, I remember those! Almost everyone had one. I think I still have mine laying around somewhere - I'll look for it. I think it was something very cheesy and Janeway based, of course, and my rank was only captain at the time. I think a bunch of us had a kind of motto on it - something like: "Voyagers do it with style."

Might be fun to work on a new one!

And hi to, Shatna.

EDIT: Found it!

 

[starrchild]

Here's my TrekBBS card - since my posting pace is glacial at best, I anticipate being at my current rank for quite some time.

 

[Dancing Doctor]

These are really cool.

My card gentlemen...and ladies:

Likely, I'll be changing it soon.
