I have good memories of Excal, I just kept out of all the drama. There a number of people on there that I loved posting with but when the board went, I lost touch with them as they weren't here. I'm so glad you came here Jim as I love reading your posts :)

Thank you love. Glad to be in contact with you again :hugs: Im trying to remember, who's nickname was Pommy?
Starbolt used to call me Pom & I used to call him Kiwi.

But I think there was someone else they called Pommy :mojo:
Yes Starbolt! I miss that little cutie. Didn't they call Pondy Pommy as well?
Yeah I have to admit I was a little smitten with starbolt, he was lovely!


I was a LOT smitten with Shep though. :wub:

Don't think it was Pondy :mojo:

Yes, quite easy on the eyes and a great personality. Every time he got a new tattoo he was harder to resist :blush:

A lot of the smaller ST boards are pretty dead these days. I am thinking a lot of it is due to the disconnect between a lot of the fandom and the nuTrek films.
also a lot of sites slow down if there isn't a steady stream of
stuff coming out to discuss.
I agree. In our case, The most recent Star Trek (not counting nuTrek) has been discussed to death for the last 8 years!

I don't think that there is enough interest in one or two movies, alone to keep things going.

How the heck is that even possible? You're like one of the most benign people I've ever seen on any of these boards.

Excal and whoever the admin was at the moment on the other hand...

Seriously, and this is the onliest time I ever have and ever will speak ill of Excal in public, Excal used to drive me mental. It was like the worst of the worst of the worst of all the drama queens who threaten suicide if the mocha-caffe-macchiato has 3 pumps of carmel instead of two. Some creepy folk on there too. Mostly those running the boards.

So I just left. As I have done before. I think I told one or two folks and left it at that.

:pfft:

Oh, I forgot Trekdom. Tib's created a site after his civil war with Kai. I thought it was rather fun. Miss it. He left his own board and it died shortly thereafter. Too bad. It was like the cock and balls version of this place.

You'd be surprised.

The Warsie world is a lot bigger than you think. Perhaps even bigger than ours. It's also got much broader appeal than Trek.

Moment of brutal Elijah-ness. Don't take offense, it just how I best relate things:

Warsie = Banging fat chicks. (BTW I LOVE chunky ladies, just saying.)

Trekkies = Paying for it.

Anyhow, Star Wars did very well by creating a huge universe with it's books. They're all series and arcs and what-not. Trek mostly writes stand-alone books and did little to expand the mythos. I've spent hours listening to Star Wars geeks talk about their universe, it dwarfs Trek.

And we have been talking about Trek for 40 years, well you have. Where Star Wars is always coming out with new stuff, Trek stopped offering anything really new 8 years ago. It's a tired old conversation about a much smaller universe.

One night, a long time ago, while at Star Trek.com I wandered onto the message board portion. First time I had ever been on a message board. I had remembered seeing ad's in Star Trek the magazine. This was around 2003 or 2004.

I stayed in the Voyager forum for a while before venturing out to ten foreword. Even with all of the monkeys running amok out of their cages, I found it more friendly than the Trek message boards that I had visited on AOL in years past. Yes AOL. I think I just dated myself.

Found some very interesting folks on there. Ben (who also it seemed was Lt.Comdr Rachel Zetina), Steve (don't think many here liked him), No Sleep Till Romulas (such a shame he died so young), Captain McClain (never could convince him to sleep with me), and DaDueceIsLoose (I miss that kid).

Then came the whole Excalibur war. They let Scooby in (till Eddie Feng said "hi" and she went banana's) but wouldn't let Kai in (anyone else remember Kai in 05?). People were trading Wissa's pic like it was a baseball card. Oh, and someone reposted a pic of Stevie's boob. This place was obviously crazy so I said yes when I was invited in.

Excal was a very interesting environment. It was filled with people who hated each other. Some were even keel and for the most part got along with all members. But there was a handful of contentious wet rags who were always stirring the pot. I till this day have yet to see another board where members make antagonistic threads in the hope of pissing others off.

But it wasn't all bad. Most of you I met through there. And then of course there was my time as an admin there. If you think my namesake is controversial, well you should have seen the admin portion of the board :lol: I was the complete opposite of everyone else there running the place. That board could have made a great soap opera. Even a reality series.

There are some folks there I miss dearly. I Heart Klingons and Founder come to mind first. Dan, Stevie, Michael, Timmy, Pat and Worfy as well. Damar and I became boyfriend's on that board :( Lots of good memories to go along with all of the douches that trolled there.

Shortly after I joined Nexus. I cant remember why I did. I think it was because Excal banned Joel and I missed him and his scent :p Strangely enough I think Nexus took him back but Excal wouldn't. This was over something that happened at Nexus, not Excal. One of Excals rules was not to bring outside drama in (but it happened all of the time) this included things like, oh say nearly destroying another board (which is what tall, dark and strait did) but they banned him nonetheless.

I also joined Becc's board, Alliance. Not much going on there so I think I only posted a few times. BX started a board for the homo's called StarGayzer and I joined it. That was fun but I was a slow board also. Then I joined a board called The Netural Zone. This was a board for admins of other trek boards to go to in hopes of peace. That was interesting even if it was unproductive.

And of course I joined this board. Out of them all this has been my favorite. The members are the most polite. Not everyone on here as the same opinion but its not open season on those who disagree with you. There is a sense of family here that was missing on the other boards. This place has a warm calming effect.

In early 2010 real life became all consuming and I just dropped out of the online world. Once I got a balance back in my life I returned here. I have not been back to any of those other boards. I have no desire, no reason to. The people I missed most are here.
Wow lot's of names and parallel history there.

I miss IheartKlingons. She was lots of fun.

In fact, I miss lots of old folks from those boards.

Funny story, one of the first people that I made friends was Nhranger. We flirted with each other until he pm'ed me and told me he was a dude. He's still one of my favorite people I ever met on these sites.

Glad you're over here Janeway, I never got to chat with you, much at all, over at excal, but you're wearing on me. :clap:

She must have commited a most serious infraction such as having a fun personality. Or worse, speaking ill of Obama.

Probably one of the most apt descriptions I have read of the celler folk that dwelled over there. Some were good, even a few of the admin, but the odds were against them.

We had kinda a thing at one point. We exchanged numbers & would chat & text most days. But he had a few issues to deal with & kinda broke my heart in the end.

I haven't heard from him in a long long time, I often wonder how he is & what he's doing.


Did starbolt call Beccs pommy because of the ozzy/kiwi thing?

it's always been my policy to cherry pick the best of the members from other boards. ;) it's worked well so far.

Timmy got a new job where he couldn't post anymore. He'd always done all of his posting from work.

he does stop by once in a blue moon. Leave him a pm and tell him you miss him.

Actually I don't, when was this? After Stevie and Spiess stepped down but before they tried to ban Kai over calling Becc's average looking while on another board?

According to Excal In the beginning there was Obama, then Obama created God so it could have been the deal breaker for Violet

Brown bagel?!?!?!

I'm almost to scared to ask, remind me.

I was more crestfallen, because that was too easy. It was at St.Com too.

It was actually he and Tibs that invited me over to Nexus. That's when I posting on Star Trek boards for Trek and more for the people. Those were also my first real board experiences.

Iheart always teased that she'd come visit since she didn't live so far away. :(

It was after the whole tibs board thing. Things imploded over there and tibs thought Almighty was passing info to me and kai (he wasn't) so they decided he would be too much drama.

because, you know, drama from other boards wasn't allowed there.

and they did ban kai over that.
