Having one that's not a friggin EZBoard is great too! 
Well, I'd probably call some of the disagreements that involve Capt. Robert April to be closer to arguments, but they've been quite fun. And the name calling has been kept mostly under control.Chuck_P.R. said:Disagreements on points sometimes occur, but arguments are virtually unheard of.
Unless you're discussing the orientation of the original Enterprise bridge. Then, it seems to be more cussing than discussing. :lol:Chuck_P.R. said:Capt Lochnar has created a relaxed, enjoyable forum where people from both 3D and physical modeling are allowed to associate freely and exchange ideas. Disagreements on points sometimes occur, but arguments are virtually unheard of.
Oh... those two.Trek Ace said:Unless you're discussing the orientation of the original Enterprise bridge. Then, it seems to be more cussing than discussing. :lol:
Thanks, Griff. I'm glad some folks see the difference.Griffworks said:Well, over here those two have been relatively tame. Over at TrekBBS, when I used to go there, it was UGLY - and not on Mark Gagen's behalf, either. Getting spirited about your side of an argument is one thing, but the vitriol that was spate out in those threads....![]()
...gospel right along with the cinematic wide-aspect main viewscreen we never noticed before.Chuck_PR said:Besides, in the new Trek Season One DVD collection Paramount has settled the contraversy.
Haven't you seen the forward facing window on the bridge in the CGI opening?
I mean, if appears onscreen, it's supposed to be gospel, right?
Yep! I thought the graphics quality of that intro were quite lame, I was speaking tongue in cheek about it being gospel, of course. :lol: Though I think there are probably more then a few people on other boards that would argue the canonical issue ad nauseum.MGagen said:...gospel right along with the cinematic wide-aspect main viewscreen we never noticed before.![]()
And thanks to the new DVD fly-by intro, I finally have some clear footage of the real Enterprise to use as a reference! (Seriously, with all the excellent fan-produced CGI Enterprises out there, why oh why couldn't they have borrowed one of them, rather than assigning some uninformed art intern to whip one up over lunch?)

I doubt it ever will. At least it hasn't previous to the two forums being integrated. There may have been some really detailed discussions of how to flesh out 3D models, but none of that was about "reimagining" but rather about how to believably include and explain what was seen in the series in a believable 3D model of the Enterprise, the object being for most involved to eventually create a believable 3D model that might one day be explorable, that could be freely "walked-through."Nova Designs said:Well I certainly hope that this place doesn't become another TrekBBS. One of the things I did like about the way Steve ran things is that he kept it about building Sci-fi models and not about fan-boy pissing contests. That crap (along with other types of juvenile behavior) is why I quit posting at TrekBBS. Once in a while there is something of interest, but 99% of the time its the same old tired crap.
PLEASE lets keep this forum about modeling Sci-fi and Star Trek kits and not about canonical arguments, who-knows-more-than-who competitions, and Trek "reimagining" threads. There's plenty of that elsewhere if that's your thing.
I agree that this forum should be about modeling, but a little poking fun is always good when thing get too serious.Nova Designs said:Well I certainly hope that this place doesn't become another TrekBBS.

I didn't assume you were. By saying that no one has complained about those things yet, I was hoping it was clear I didn't think you were making such a complaint.Nova Designs said:Yeah, Chuck you might be misunderstanding me. I wasn't really referring to posts of blueprinting or 3D modeling
