/c/TenForward: 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. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 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'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

it's just like when Toys R Us went under, all the comments in chats and message boards were pissed that it went out of business (aside from the scummy buyouts) because they had so much fun going there and running around looking at the toys, then when they got older took their kids to run around, look at toys but not buy anything. MFer the reason they went out of business is because you never bought anything!
Bro - they went out of business because A) amazon stole their consumer base and B) Mitt Romney's vultures did a leveraged buyout where they made Toys R Us pay all of the debt service while he looted anything not bolted down and sold all of the real estate to themselves then leased it back to TRU at inflated no-bid prices.
The ole private equity bustout. Just like red lobster 👌
Yeah, and if they had a healthy, growing cash flow via solid sales over a span of several decades then they would have been the ones buying out competitors.
Are you also going to blame mom & pop shops for failing to price-match when walmart moves in a block away?
I have paramount plus exclusively for trek.
At home we call it "Trek+" for exactly this reason.
There's absolutely nothing else on the platform. It's all utter rubbish I have zero interest in watching.
