That is all.
Anyone remember TrekWeb's StarTrekBBS forum & message boards?
STBBS had, on average, about 2 to 2 & a half times the traffic & volume of TrekBBS & TheForce.net.
Yeah, and when it was in it's prime, ASVS had several times the posts of all of them PUT TOGETHER.
What was ASVS?
alt.startrek.vs.starwars (Usenet group) The ancient civilization that was responsible for virtually all Trek, Wars, and VS debate boards including TrekBBS, Stardestroyer.net, Spacebattles.com, StarfleetJedi, etc. Started in 1997. It had more traffic on a bad week than all of those web based boards you mentioned combined. The legendary "Eclipse" thread was something to behold. Here's a brief primer: http://members.shaw.ca/csstrowbridge/ASVS/Intro.html
And if you are really interested in ASVS culture, I'd recommend reading up on www.daltonator.net
Very interesting
SpaceBattles is a fun board. Kinda "TrekBBS Lite", despite having more registered members than TBBS last I checked.
TF.net's nutty & crowded, at least it was when I was there in '05 & '06.
StarfleetJedi never heard of. Should register there if it's still around
StarDestroyer.net's the infamous infantile Mike Wong's creation. Heard Wong made SD.net being he was getting owned & pwned in debates & made SD so he could control his debates. SadWong's worse than those 2 ST geeks on South Park.
And of course Emperor Christian's infamous TrekBBS came out of that Hyperboard/Megaforum.
Thanks for the info & links![]()
Yep. Mike Wong has been my nemesis for a dozen years. He did indeed start his board because we were beating his ass in ASVS. I was there from the start, and was mentioned in the first link. The wise man who "struck his staff upon the ground and the tortured hell known as ASVS came into existence." So, yeah I know a think or two about Fucktard Wong.
Figures TBBS had to come from somewhere.
You can come out from under the bridge at any time. It's easier to do your work that wayI wish it would go back there if you ask me. And you haven't.
TBBS's long overdue to join STBBS in the graveyard![]()
