    I check it out occasionally, but it looks like nothing but massive omnibus threads. I don't feel like wading through 40 pages of anything just to make a post.

    TNZ hasn’t been worth anything since all the posters with balls left in the summer of 2003. :diacanu:

    TNZ "The Neutral Zone" was never fun. It's previous incarnations (which I don't remember the names of) were a delight. And something people forget is that those earlier incarnations were pretty heavily moderated. Including for flaming. People came in. Flamed like hell. Made threats. Trolled like crazy. Took their three day suspension and then came back for more fun.

    Ironically it was when TNZ became (supposedly) an unmoderated free fire zone that it went down the crapper.

    TNZ was supposedly lightly moderated, but it turned out quite the opposite. Unless you're a frothing at the mouth bootlicking lock step communist, you're not welcome there.

    That's honestly the most annoying part of TNZ these days, and I don't have the time or energy to learn all that history. :shrug:

    BTW, are you a TNZ transplant? Or did you stumble on this place by accident? I remember you came over a bit later than most people here. :unsure:

    You were the least douchey person I interacted with there. Flying Lemons, Ten Lubak and of course 14thD were/ are much bigger douches. Although 14thD seems to have chilled a bit.

    If you weren’t there prior to 2003 you didn’t experience the real TNZ.

    I joined TBBS in 09 and got the boot in 2013, I was surprised to see so many familiar names, especially when I had been cursing them the day before in TNZ. @14thDoctor was one of them.

    I only began dipping my foot in TNZ after coming here to be honest. And I came here because @Stewey got himself banned a few weeks before the Enterprise finale and I wanted to see if he'd finally grade any episode of this show higher than a D+ :lol:

    I first came over after watching some stranger pimp slap KIRK1ADM so hard that he actually shut up for once. I sent them a congratulatory PM and asked why I'd never seen them around before, and they sent me a link to Wordforge. Since TNZ only had like two righties worth engaging at that point, I signed up here and never looked back. :async:

    The Neutral Zone was a pretty good episode by Season 1 standards. Yeah, the people-out-of-time were a little hokey and Picard was a little preachy, but it had some good suspense and was a nice way to reintroduce the Romulans. Although the suggestion later on that the Borg were responsible for the destroyed outposts ended up being a little wacky, continuity-wise.

    Anymore???

    The only time TNZ was fun was when Diacanu was there.
    The only time all of TrekBBS was fun was when Diacanu was there.

    He left for some other shithole board, and the place immediately blew goats.

    Maurice Hurley always intended the Borg to have been responsible for the destruction of the outposts. The episode was supposed to lead into a 2nd season episode where Picard and company encounter the Borg and also learn that the Borg scout ship that wasted the outposts was later destroyed by the Romulans and he takes the Enterprise in to Romulan space to try and discover how the Romulans pulled it off.

    Every board has its ebbs and flows. I'm posting here more often these days just because there's more that interests me and I do like Tech Forge. The pendulum may swing back after a while. Whatever....For those who don't remember I came over early when ShootER invited me to join.

    I remember my first post there. I accuse the TNZ posters of disliking Nancy Pelosi because they were just sexist. Man did those douches flip out at me.

    Button. Pushed.

    Classic overreaction.

    I would follow those idiots anywhere. Such an easy mark.

    By the way, those douchenozzles who tripped over themselves were all of you. :diacanu:
