    The autodestruction countdown thread

    All right. We all know this wonderful place is going to self-destruct like the Enterprise in STIV some time from now...

    ...so I though of a stupid thread idea, sort of like the "Be a winner" thread, only there's no winner (since Don wins!). I think we're all very much moved by the end of TrekRPGNet, so I thought, well, instead of being sad, why not try to end the adventure in some humor, in tribute to all the good moments we've had here, in tribute to the past?

    The idea is to be the last one to post before the site goes down! You know, like the New Years Eve countdown... You'll have the joy to know you were the last one to post on these wonderful boards...!

    And who knows, maybe Don will enter his authorization code before the ship explodes...

    Like this idea a lot.

    Renny whistles and looks around nervously...
    "When did you guys say this place is going to blow ?"

    No one answers.....

    Somehow I must have missed the announcment, that Don has made up his mind and TrekjRPG-net is finally going down. I am very sad, but support KW idea, as I just did

    I'm going to miss this site. beiing a member since shorty after the forums went up, I have never really posted that much, but I will miss joined efforts with BC like "our" Galaxy class refit program or the ability to stay in touch with people like Dave Biggins.

    This board will be missed by me and it will take a huge effort to take it out of my "favorite book mark section" of my browser.

    This said, I'll search for Don's Thread declaring the end so that I will have read it myself.

    Best wishes and thank you, all of you for such a good long time

    A friend of mine wanted to become a pyro technician. Shall I bring him into this?

    Cool

    It'd better not be involved blowing up our PC's in the process.

    Anyhoo, just some random thoughts...

    I dunno... Half a mile is too close for comfort for nearby pyro guys. (I did a little of that myself in college long ago...) In fact, keeping them antipodinal to yourself might be the best idea. 12,000km of solid rock is about the minimum safe distance when a pyrotech says, "Dude, hold my beer & watch this..."
