    Cool. I'm ok with this because I was voted in to EFCL without ever having been a Fleet Captain at TrekBBS (literally the only requirement)

    The Senate will convene and see about this slip up, I promise you this. I'm not sure how Verteron let this happen, but it will be fixed :bailey:

    How are we supposed to pronounce it, again? "effy-cooly"?

    Eternal Fleet Captains Lounge.

    Back in the day TBBS had lounges for different ranks (user titles based on post count). The Fleet Captains Lounge was quite active and lots of people became close, but then the group started breaking up when folks were promoted to Rear Admiral.

    So the Eternal Fleet Lounge was born. It was most notable for it's attempt at democracy and then the crazy board politics that developed.

    No. Assuming you're sincerely asking, Bastion and Calli trolled the fuck out of Verteron and got him to closevthe board. Mogh and someone else got REFCL up, Mogh got shut out, and Eggs Mayo bought the board. Software issues killed REFCL last year.

    Purchasing Wordforge now would be like buying the Titanic after it hit the iceberg.

    The board has been destroyed by the current iteration of EliteForge. So many people have left, or been run off, that it's no longer worth the effort.

    I can't stress enough how bored I am with this site these days. Wordforge used to be Must See TV. Now it's Star Trek in the Friday night 7:00 pm cancellation/death slot.

    @John's faggy histrionics, Dul's twattery, Christopher trying to be Michael J. Fox's character from American President, and Anna's continuing search for the Wizard of OZ so she can ask for a brain.....and the rest of the 'Tards of the Square Table..... :sigh:

    Wordforge needs a seismic shift to become relevant again. It needs it's own Trump revolution.

    Yup. I'm bored.

    Difference being, in years past WF offered entertainment when I was bored.

    Now, it's simply reflects my boredom

    WF these days is the current era NFL - celebrations, touchdown dances, taunting all outlawed. You fools have cut off your nose to spite your face. Do none of you realize how utterly stupid you are? Or do you just not give a shit?

    This is the same bullshit you fed us before you said you'd never post again and then engaged in your months and months of uber-negging. When can we expect the sequel to start? A much wiser use of your time, no?

    You never miss an opportunity to broadcast your butthurt over the few "dumbs" I tossed your way, do you? You sure it didn't chap your ass just a *little* bit more than you're willing to admit? :lol:

    Oh, and I never said I'd stop posting here. What I said was that if people weren't happy with the direction the board was taking, their only realistic option was to boycott until something changed.

    But please Chuppie, favor us again with your tale of how you had to quit WF because @Dinner would agitate your "client base." :lol: :dayton:

    The Senate voted for me to become a member (knowing I wasn't qualified), and later voted for me to become a mod (also knowing I wasn't qualified).

    Wasn't every member a senator, technically?

    Well, you've got change. Gul's gone, I'm gone off staff, John hasn't posted here in days and Anc has no involvement other than being the guy the admins send the money to.

    So...there ya go.

    I'll say to you what I said to the liberals that cried about this place being a shit hole years ago: only you can affect change. Don't like it, make topics that you like. Invite people here. Otherwise slow decline is the only way this will go.

    And also: don't piss off the staff. At the end of the day, no one is paid to post here or do this crap. After all the shit from gturner, we were thisfuckingclose to telling Anc to shut the lights off for good. All I ask is that given neither @Christopher or @Dr. Krieg have not given you all reason to be leery of their decision making that you give them some benefit of the doubt when they make an unpopular decision. And don't burn them out, because we're running out of hands to turn the place over to. :bailey:

    That is inevitable, and has been for years.
    Passive aggressive bullshit. No "staff" member's actions should be beyond criticism.

    Remember that one time, when a new poster joined and started making interesting posts, traffic started increasing again, and old lapsed posters started coming back. Then the owners of the board permabanned him.

    Good times.
