Hello Merky Nice to meet you.

 

[Vulpes]

Hello there, everyone. Um, I'm new. That about covers it.

 

[Kai "the spy"]

Welcome, Merky & Vulpes. Nice to have you aboard!

Newb alert!

Greeting from the land of guiness and O'Brien,

The names Lanny. I've been a trek fan pretty much since I was a kid watching TNG and DS9 in the 90's on RTÉ. Since then, I've been an utter sci-fi addict. Stumbled across this forum a few weeks back and been lurking pretty much since.

 

[kirsten187]

Hi Lanny - how are you?

 

[Lanny77]

Thanks, kirsten. And I'm good

 

[kirsten187]

If you are interested, there's a place called the Red Shirt Lounge for people new to the forums it's quite fun.

@EnterpriseGeek: Hello again!

@Amyk: Welcome. So, you're the one who liked Wesley (aside from Gene Roddenberry).

HUGE crush on Wesley. Wil Wheaton and I are about the same age. Thank you for the nice welcome! Enjoying the forum very much. It's been helpful and informative. And funny too!

 

[kirsten187]

I suppose Wil Wheaton isn't that bad looking.

I've been off the boards for a long time, but I've decided to check in again (having slow days at work helps).

Is there a Trek chat board? You know there really should be.

 

[Saspearia]

Hi All,

I've probably posted here already but forgot. I joined ages ago but then got distracted with other boards. I was born a trekkie and I seem to be getting more obsessed every year!

Sas

Hello nice to meet you. How are you?

 

[Kai "the spy"]

Welcome back, both of you!

@Saspearia: Should be pretty easy to find out if you have posted here before.

And did it: Your first post was on October 25th 2010:

Uh... do all beginners here rank cadet or is the academy unusually expandable?

 

[6079SmithW]

^Yes, all beginners start as cadets. You rank up as you post more. Welcome to the board!

 

[kirsten187]

Hello JKK

 

[JKK]

OK... I'll start with cadet. That's fine with me (so as to say... really really .. really.. fine with me... well... maybe a little frustrated? I don't know... uh.. so be it.. then) (Hell! I'm a doctor.. don't science officers and doctors start with lieutenant?)

So.. I'm in the academy. What next? Oh.. wait. There's something I'd really really love to try. THE STARBUST TRICK! Can I fly that? Please...

 

[6079SmithW]

Hey, JKK. Perhaps I am misreading your posts, and forgive me if I am, but this place isn't an MMORPG, it's just a message board to talk about trek. The ranks are pretty meaningless and really only determine which lounge you can post in. Again, sorry if I misread your intention.

I don't believe I've posted in this thread. I joined some years ago then left, and recently came back.

I've been a Star Trek fan all my life, though I was an adult before I realized it.

When I was a kid, I used to have a babysitter (and her friends) who would watch TOS reruns when I was over. My parents were strict and didn't let me watch much TV, so I didn't see it outside my babysitters and didn't talk about it at all.

Some years later in college, I got into TNG through reruns and I happened across an episode of TOS. I was like, "Hey, so THIS is the original Star Trek series people keep talking about! I didn't realize I'd seen it before." It was weird recognizing the show, yet not having remembered that it is Star Trek. That's when I knew I was home.

 

[JKK]

Well.. what do ya know. People around here are nice enough to let me know where am I and what I can do. Thanks (sorry if you thought of me as fooling around.. I didn't mean to. Just trying to get some attention.)

But I believe I should be more of a listener here. My knowledge on 'Trek' isn't broad enough.. I think. Thanks people.. for the tip. (I'll try not to be so annoying next time.. I promise)
