Yes. I can be a jackass. I tend to be online. I am an online jackass. I am also, at times, an online jackass pug, as well.
Aye. At first, I was disheartened to be bashed so repeatedly by LOAF and TyeDyeBoy and ace and several others. I then realized that sometimes I could be a pompous jackass who should re-read and edit what he posts. A lot of the time, I mean to come across as a jackass with a point, but I think I need to sharpen my skills a bit more. I'm going a bit dull.
Plus, you have to realize that, despite LOAF's repeated jabs at me, he still invited me to DragonCon this year, which should say something.
but true ghost very true, star trek has reached a new low, i think it is the only time i have ever seen a show plagerize another show in the exact same universe made by the same people, if B5 was to come out and the new LotR ship was what is currently NX-01 Enterprise (that is if enterprise the show didn't exist) b5 would have it's a** sued for plagerizing the akira.
now i must moderate my former statement. i think that the abandomware thing is correct, it should be stoped immediately. what i do not like is the fact that before the summer, i had only seen 2 people banned, 1 was that guy who started WC marines who was flaming left and right, the other was me, but that was for about 5 seconds, due to a missunderstanding. Now I have seen a much larger number of peeps banned, perhaps it is just that the newer people here are bigger jerks than people of my "generation" of Czers, ie peeps who joined sometime around the begining of the year, were/are, or perhaps it is because the admins have become more strict, yet it is still the case regardless of what caused it. Likewise the number of threads closed is much higher on a per month basis than before, or at least it feels that way.
about the "Freespace vs WCP sales" thread, if it is what it appears to be, a question about the comparative sales and nothing more I really do not see that it is violating the vs thread because rather than asking for a subjective view on a subject, ie which is better, it is asking which of the two sold better which has an objective and factual answer.
OK i have said my peace, im outie

I recently watched the finale of ST DS9. It was anticlimactic and I was a bit disappointed. But the real message is, in order to enjoy Star Trek you have to be able to turn off your brain and simply accept what they feed you. If you can't do that, then just forget about Trek and play more WC
The reason why I perservered with ST DS9 was that I too liked the characters and cheery atmosphere. Quite a contrast to B5. And there was nothing wrong with bringing Worf into it. The episode where he marries Jedzia (sp?) was a highlight. Anyway IMHO when writing the finale it seemed like they hadn't thought anything out and so quickly tacked something together. Oh well...

How can you possibly include Babylon 5, plagiarizing and the acronym LotR in such a statement while keeping a straight face?
I preferred Dax#2 as well. I thought they did a nice job with her character as a whole, especially as the unprepared, mostly unwilling recipient of the Dax symbiant. DS9 was the best of the bunch, imho because it had that darker edge. The other Treks have that antispetic feel to them. In additionit didn't always wrap up the issues brought up during an episode just before the credits rollled. I like DS9 for many of the same resons I feel WCIV was the best game in the series, at least from a story POV. Had to ground the post with at least a token WC reference
well first Babylon 5 was IMHO the best scifi show of the 90's
second, i do not recall Tolkien copywriting LotR
third, dax #2 was cuter, dax #1 was cut, dax #1 had a better character, dax #2 had a good but not as good character. I personally consider the two of them the best of all the "trek babes" don't get me wrong Jeri Ryan is hot, but she just didn't have the character to go with it

You forgot to mention me. I'm hurt.
Why, LOAF? Why?

One last post on the original topic of this thread, and you can all go back to mouthing off Star Trek and the likes.
I have to say, most of the people who tried to contradict my words raised some valid points. This CZ is ceratainly not the worst of boards, although I, myself, don`t visit too many other message boards, so I don`t have that much to compare with.
You will have to agree, though, that this place has changed a bit in the last few months, and the atmosphere has become polluted a bit. I tried to put my finger on a few aspects, but I guess there are reasons for most anything I said is problematic.
The freespace thread simply pissed me off, and things that have accumilated over the past few months simply burst at the moment.
In the end, I am not going to tell the admins how to run this board, but this place is beginning to disappoint me a little.
This only means, that like many other people who used to post here, I, too, am becoming kind of obsolete, and I will be seen less here.
OK, you may return to your topic drift.

But... you just did tell us how to run the CZ. Repeatedly.
You are welcome to post here, you're welcome to leave. It's your choice -- there's nothing special about people who've been here longer... if they want to leave because they don't like the newer people, and everyone will be treated exactly the same. There's no CZ law that says you have to waste our bandwith <G>
Then you do not recall correctly -- it was a major published work, of course it was copywrited. If it weren't, it would be in the public domain and anyone who wanted to could print it. But even if that were true, (and it very clearly is *not* true) it would *not* be an excuse for Babylon 5 to rip it off mercilessly <G>
