/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.

Only the very wealthy in their Ivory Towers were able to see such things in the 90s.

Us peasants living in the wilderness only heard whispers of such great awesomeness.

Seriously though, as a kid in northern Ontario, we didn't have cable and I was only ever able to see some episodes of TNG and never on a regular basis. I heard about Voyager and DS9 but I never had the chance to see any of them

It wasn't until I got older and I bought the entire TNG series that I was able to see all of it in about 2000, then later Voyager on DVD about five years later and now I'm working my way through DS9 for the first time.

Star Trek was great when we were kids .... most of us just weren't able to afford to watch it back then.

All the Star Trek shows were on free to air TV in Australia, but at 11pm before a school day, so still not visible to kids unless they had nerdy parents that let them stay up specifically to watch it.
