While you guys are wondering about how stsf would be if it weren't for the early people, I like to think that what stsf has now is a well rounded, talented group of individuals.

 

My hats are off to the old folks...the term I use very losely, and to us new people.

:D

I was a part of the SFOL sim group on AOL.. but grew tired of the drama and sought somewhere else out. I saw someone with a STSF name post on their boards and checked it out for myself. I now do not belong to their group anymore and I love this place dearly! :D

Well I got as far as STA-RTRE before the operator said "Your call can not be completed as dialed."  I tried (STA) RTR-EKCO and got the same thing.

Well, back on the original subject --

 

I ran into Star Trek simming back in the bad old days, when I had AOL with per-minute charges.  Sometime around the early or mid 1990's, I almost joined an SFOL(or its predecessor?) Academy, but was prevented from doing so by parents worried about an Internet bill.  Fast forward to last October, when I happened to be on startrek.com looking up the next episode of Enterprise (on a cable modem, 400 miles away from and emancipated from parents).  I discovered a link to the "Star Trek Simulation Forum" and read the information on the website.  At that point, I wasn't sure whether I really wanted to get involved in a commitment involving a lot of other people, but I decided to give it a try anyway.  So, I logged on using the ST.com name "Anhonymeus" (a strange spelling of "Anonymous") and was assigned the AENG position on the academy.  Unfortunately, nobody talked to me the whole time!  And, being a total newbie, all of this stuff was happening around me and I had no idea where all of this was happening -- were there real sensor consoles I didn't know how to look at?  Orders from GMs?  (BTW if anyone else is in this situation, please don't make the same mistake as I did -- ASK someone!)  So, I read up a little more on the STSF website, and it dawned on me that *it was all made up*.  That's when I developed the Lo'Ami name - originally intended to be a first name, but too many people thought I was a girl.  Five academies later, I graduated.  After hedging a bit about the commitment thing, I joined the only ship that fit my real life schedule -- USS Arcadia.   And here I am today, with well over 200 posts into this looney bin.

Wow...  a year already.  Who would have thought it possible that a small group of expierenced role-players would be able to venture out into the giagantic universe all alone and come out as sucessful as they did?

 

STSF has come a long way in terms of the number of SIMs, the number of players, the traffic to the site, the quality of the SIMs, and the way the community has grown.  It's going to be interesting to see what happens during the next year.  

 

Thank you all for being a part of the STSF family.  And thank you to all of the GMs and members of the GM Council who have put in a COUNTLESS number of hours to pull a fret like this off.  

 

To another year!  :::raises a glass:::

:: groans, realising that since we hired the webmaster we've had no cash to buy wine to fill the glasses with! :: JUST KIDDING

[Webmaster 20]

Who said there was wine in my glass?  I'm stuck living on bread and water!

 

(And it's not that fancy bread or the filtered bottled water either!)

 

All the money went to the Admiral's hot-tub, which the female GMs seemed to have taken over lately...

Well, my guess is few of us, if any, have actually met LoAmi.  All we really have to prove he isn't is his word for it.

 

And Travis - Go ahead and use Mr. Bill T. Cat.

I think I have the longest time in the academy in history. Although it may not count, I started some time last year, stopped for some reason and started again now. I saw the think on the website one day and remembered how fun it was and thought, "Tell you what, I think i'll rejoin up!"
