trekkie translation~
Travis is Picard
Witfull is Will Riker
Mods are Senior bridge crew
every member is vital to the Federation flagship Enterprise~
seriously, i remember being a lurker on BBS' and at the time learned alot, but mostly i saw the cliques and flaming that become associated with it. (been internetting since 94). i then took a hiatus from all fish. no tanks for 4 yrs or so. then i got that dreaded itch again. i stumbled onto a group of people. smart, caring and friendly. i once again played the lurker, but one day i joined up and was welcomed by this iconic abnormality of nice people. i threw my money into the hat during the "issue" and was at the birth of RS. i was a member of RS and happy to do my thing. well somehow i was chosen to be a mod when the site started to grow, ( found out i had a cheerleader- RS search function works
) i was estactic,,,yet humbled. then travis zapped me with the wand and here i am. but you know what,,,,i see myself as a member first. i came form where everyone else started. my "title" may be fancy,,,never know,,,next name tag could be yours
so, basically what im saying is we all make RS what it is....and you know what? i like what we have become so far. the future is so bright i gotta wear shades~

*Disclaimer*
i say this as my best advice to a beginner. do not,,,and i repeat,,,,,DO NOT look at my tank as an example....i have a well practised eye, decades of experience, and a trunkload of failures to allow me to force the issue and get away with things most cannot~
