Well, I am a Trekkie too. Save for the special effects, I was not a fan of episode 2 or episode 1 (for that matter). Still, there is something about Star Wars that refuses to die.
However, in answer to your dad, simply ask him what the deal was with Star Trek V? He'll quiet down after that.
ouch. Yeah, knowing how to type is a must.
LOL... Sorry to laugh at your expense but I can imagine your dad trying to grill you and your online friend over mysterious bf.
Still, I note you didn't answer the question as to whether you did or not...
Heh... ok
That's cause they're too busy looking over your shoulder eh?
Danni, I am not bashing you in any way. You have RP skills and you do show potential, and I know that I shouldn't be one to talk about keeping a good, active board. (Poor Realm of Azeroth never stood a chance :'( ) The thing I have to say is that you should take their advice. Yes, it is nice to have a board where everything is obvious and simple. But I must remind you, that when you make a new board...and there aren't that many posts...it isn't hard to get lost. After all, if the people have any sense of RP or organization, it shouldn't be too bad.
But because of the expanse of the Star Wars Universe, it isn't wise to have specific forums. Or else people will be confused on where to post about an RP that isn't near any planet that you have.
Again, I am not trying to insult you are critique. I am just pointing things out...that have already been pointed out while making myself sound intelligent and impressive in forum knowledge.
Oh and Omnae, Star Trek V is definitly crap. Damn whale lovers ruining my Star Trek...
Just an observation, something I've noticed over five years in the SW RPing community. Trying to recruit people to join a Star Wars roleplay community, from another already active Star Wars roleplaying community, doesn't usually work. See, they already have their main place to play. They've been there for years, know the ropes, etc and don't tend to have the time or inclination to devote themselves to another community, let alone one struggling to get off the ground. You should try different kinds of message boards, maybe ones just full of Star Wars fans of the non-roleplaying variety, see if you can convert some of them.
Pick up newbies, not veterans. They'll stick around, and helping them out in the beginning will put you in good stead for dealing with future generations of no-brainers.
I like Star Trek V, if only for the time traveling bit. I always enjoyed the Star Trek episodes where they went into the past, or went ot a planet that was themed after earth's past.
