TrekBBS Gets Its Big Break!

[Spot's Meow]

Are we on TV?? I watched an episode of Onion News Network the other day and saw something that looked oddly familiar....

I did a search and found this was mentioned by Roger Wilco on page 113 of a TNZ thread, but I thought I would bring it to the masses of Miscellaneous!

The fake news story is about the new show Terra Nova, and how sci-fi fans are already discussing ways that the show creators are going to ruin it. The reporter states that "some are guessing a 5-year-old child who's actually God will be introduced around season 6 to start clumsily wrapping up plot lines under the guise of a moronic spherical message, while others are speculating ghosts will show up for no reason."

Here are the screenshots of the online forum where sci-fi fans are discussing this:

It's looking eerily similar to the General Trek Discussion forum...unless another forum out there is using vBulletin with our exact color scheme. I thought this was pretty funny when I saw it on TV!

So are we like, famous now?

 

[Roger Wilco]

Yes, I noticed that too and thought of TrekBBS immediately; and as M'Sharak remarked when I posted about it in TNZ, it's not the first time Onion joked about TrekBBS.

Clearly we have a sleeper agent here.

Let's get Dr. Baltar on those blood tests ASAP.

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

TrekBBS is everywhere.

They need to do a special on the lone Italian male poster who desperately holds the line against the dreadful hordes of ghastly-dressed barbarians.

^Picturing you wearing gorgeous Italian leather shoes.

Holdfast is italian?

 

[Skywalker]

We primetime now, bitches!

 

[Nerys Ghemor]

Too funny! And "Talk Sci-Fi" seems like a thinly-veiled reference to "Talk CSI"...

 

[Ghost07]

I don't recognize any of those posters. Do you?

 

[Deckerd]

You're not supposed to.

 

[Saul]

We're current and relevant? Does not compute.

Holdfast is a above our mundane struggles to dress appropriately to the occasion. He descended from heaven wearing a bespoke three-piece suit to give us comfort and advice, an example we must strive to emulate and yet we can not reach. He's not elegant: he's elegance.

 

[Australis]

OMG, we're mainstream?!

Well, this place just isn't cool any more.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Shit! We're primetime and mainstream now?!

I don't think I can handle that pressure.

 

[Mike Farley]

OMG, we're mainstream?!

Well, this place just isn't cool any more.

Is TrekBBS the most overrated forum that we all post on?
