When did you join TrekBBS?

[An Officer]

I guess those of us who joined while it was all still new and exciting are the hardcore ones who've stayed (the old-timers seem to be outnumbering the newcomers right now)... all because of that initial feeling, and the nostalgia, perhaps hoping it will be the same again soon.

I joined because a fellow poster from a Farscape board (Farscapeworld.com) recommended the place to me... great guy, stop posting by the time I joined. Maybe it was something I said.

I've been here so long I should be in a museum.

 

[Darkening]

I think November 2000

 

[Major Chord]

I think I registered in fall of 2007. Early Sophomore year of high school. Now I'm a freshman in college.

14 March 2000.

. Mostly lurked until 2003 and it's all been downhill from there.

It sure has been.

(with the Wright reviews in there somewhere as well)

Oh yeah, Jim Wright's Delta Blues were so much fun! He made his synopses SO worth reading with hilarious color commentary. I keep meaning to save them all for later.

You still can. Good ol' Delta Blues.

^ That one with all the robots that turn into cars?

No, the one where bar bums turn into starship captains and intellectual rationalists turn into homicidal maniacs.

Didn't Star Trek have a bald guy in charge of everything? The Space MacGyver show had a bald guy in charge at first. Are you sure that's not Star Trek?

It kind of turned into Star Trek later, before it turned into nuBSG.

I joined in March or so of 2001 before the Great Crash then rejoined a couple months later.

You sound like me. A lot like me. Where was I when you joined? I'm not sure. Well played, sir. Well played.

No, the new film was good but not that good.

He was talking about Stargate: Universe. Which, um... no.

 

[iguana_tonante]

I joined in 2006, but I lurked sporadically for at least a couple of years before that. Probably more.

Are you sure he was? I thought he was referring to the new Trek film. I demand answers!

Either way I'm correct, though. BSG is better than the new Trek film and certainly much better than SGU.

2008. The first picture of the new Enterprise had been released, and my first or second post was in the shitstorm reaction thread. I posted something like "I like it. I wonder what Matt Jefferies would have said about it?", and someone immediately quoted it and said something like "Before or after he slit his wrists in horror?", and I realized that Star Trek fans really are like Comic Book Guy. Thankfully not all of them.

Hello, welcome to the new member suicide booth. You have selected: immolation. Thank you."

I meant that the Stargate franchise became more Trek-like as it went along, until Universe, which is an imitation nuBSG.

All three are horrible.

@Sarek of Vulcan...huzzah?

Space MacGyver was Stargate... I knew there was a "star" in there... So what the hell is Star Trek? Is it the that movie with all the lens flare where the guy from that White Castle movie was the samurai?
