Hey and let me the first, and a happy first, to welcome you to /c/TenForward, a place dedicated to hanging out and talking Trek. Whether you’re theorizing about old tech (or a new season), talking about your favorite class of ship (Crossfield, but are you surprised?) or just wanting to check out some memes, Ten Forward is the place for you.
Ten Forward was founded with the express purpose of providing a calm, relaxing hangout atmosphere where people could talk about all aspects of Trek. A community that was built to be a real community with friends and strangers coming together to help entertain each other and provide a happy place for us all to go. We want this community to be broad enough to encompass all things Trek under one umbrella, whether that be your typical source of memes, some recent news about a new Picard movie in the mix, some really cool fan art you’ve found or just how existentially horrifying the transporters really are.
We do have a set of rules in the sidebar but they’re no more stringent or severe than you would see in any other general subreddit, but we do ask people to be familiar with them and to follow them to the best of their ability. They’re all pretty basic though. Be kind to one another, don’t be bigoted, try to avoid negativity and support people when you can, stick to being on topic (as long as it’s Trek related, you’re good!) and try to tag recent spoilers of anything released within the last 3-ish months.
And who are here to enforce the rules and help provide the community with a framework of what to expect? Well there’s myself of course but also the stellar @negativenull@lemm.ee, the celestial @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world and the out-of-this-world @The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website! And of course we won’t just be moderating but posting as well. And boy do I personally have a backlog from dealing with personal stuff over the past month or so. If you have any issues with something you see, please report it. If you feel that mod action wasn’t particularly fair, reach out to one of us. We’re here to help provide a great experience for everyone across the board.
So welcome to /c/TenForward! And to borrow, and slightly alter, a quote from a man I miss everyday…
Since my customary farewell would appear oddly self-serving, I shall simply say… 🖖 … Have fun.
I’ve been watching TOS for the past months and we enjoy looking up trivia about the actors from the 60s.
This is Bruce Mars, just another up and coming actor that was building his career when he suddenly quit everything and became a religious Monk for the Self-Realization Fellowship in Los Angeles. Notable for even counseling Elvis Presley.
