Star Trek: The Next Generation : They're shutting it down!

They're shutting it down!

WTH?
😟
I have been on here since 1999. I think.
I'm so sad.
Is it because people are so rude?😥

Re: They're shutting it down!

I can't believe this. I know I don't use it often, but I enjoy discussing a series with with fellow enthusiasts. This is a sad day. I came to bring up a question about the holo decks, but this seems a moot point now that no one will be able to reply.

Re: They're shutting it down!

In Next Generation and Voyager the holodecks have caused highly dangerous situations. Can't remember if anything happened on Deep Space Nine. So why did they continue to have them?

Re: They're shutting it down!

They had at least one holodeck problem on DS9. Like hal the crew was in it. I think they were storing their transporter patterns in it or something. I can't remember

Re: They're shutting it down!

Yes, Naki, it was "Our Man Bashir": the situation was actually critical for five of the main crew, as their lives depended on Bashir successfully reaching the end of a James Bond-style secret agent program.

Why are you here if you haven't seen the movie yet?

Re: They're shutting it down!

Rstory,
I don't have that kind of information on why they kept using them other than the writers liked beating it to death. I did find out yesterday why there are no HANDRAILS in STAR WARS. Lucas wanted show there was no HEALTH AND SAFETY in the EMPIRE.

Re: They're shutting it down!


Is it because people are so rude?😥



No. If that were the case, they'd have shut things down long ago, probably within the first year, if rudeness were their concerns. Nope; I'd say it's likely due to politics.



Re: They're shutting it down!

Politics in what way?
Do you think they are infringing on our right of free speech?
If so, why come here?

Re: They're shutting it down!

well, there IS a politics board. and they are beyond nasty there! like soapbox is the 'take it outside' area, but the gloves come off on the politics board.


why not just shut down the off topic boards that are causing the most problems? I gave you two leads! start there!

Oh God. Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once more.

Re: They're shutting it down!

Donald didn't like the video from my country called "America first Holland second" and he didn't like some of the posts on IMDB.

Re: They're shutting it down!

Lol. I doubt Donald Trump cares about any of this tripe here.
I can't figure out why they are shutting this down,
Maybe the Internet and chat like Twitter and Face book will fall away and the Internet will be like a library or whatever.
People will just use it for research in the future?

I doubt it Nak I don't hold mankind in such high regards after all it is easier to swear at or yell something in stead of using well funded arguments it's easier to tear something down than to build it up.

Re: They're shutting it down!

Well, I meant maybe we'll all go back to doing stuff rather than sitting faceless behind a computer screen.
And computers will be tools for work or school.

Re: They're shutting it down!

My experience is that the tools are sitting behind the computer have you seen that video from my country Nak?

Re: They're shutting it down!

Lol not That kind of tool.
I meant that computers will be relegated to a lower priority item in our lives.
Like your computer at work or your text books from school.😀😀

Re: They're shutting it down!

Well, IMDB would be the latest in a line of outlets that are going out of their way to censor, edit, or altogether delete opinions they don't agree with. Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube have been doing this for about two years now.


Do you think they are infringing on our right of free speech?


No. Shutting down the message boards doesn't infringe on anyone's free speech. It's their message boards; they can do whatever they like. It's no different than someone telling you that you can't bring whatever material or say certain things at someone's house; you don't own that house, so they can censor you how they like, or you can leave.

Incidentally, I find most people don't understand what free speech is meant for, let alone understand the concept of both Freedom and Rights. It's not that they're stupid, it's just they aren't taught. They're not even taught erroneously; people just are not taught.

Re: They're shutting it down!

What a load of bollocks this statement offers. One of the main reasons to come here is to talk about movies.

Re: They're shutting it down!

What the hell are we all gonna do now???!!!!

RIP Gene Wilder. RIP Barbara Hale. You were great in Perry Mason. RIP William Christopher.

Re: They're shutting it down!

Besides obviously, reddit's Star Trek sub-reddit and trekbbs, here's another alternative discussion forum for Star Trek:

Re: They're shutting it down!

They got to be kidding wtf? How am I gonna chat my fellow Trek fans this is bull bet at the Star Wars boards that rebellion is brewing.

Re: They're shutting it down!

It's as bad as when they shut down Yahoo message boards sometime around 2005.
They offered the same b.s. excuse, although I read that someone posted it was because someone successfully sued Yahoo because a dude was harassing him/her on the boards.
Now Yahoo boards are back, but they're horrible and no one cares anymore.



Re: They're shutting it down!

Yeah this is going to suck. Whenever I finish watching a show or movie I usually come to imdb to check out the message boards because I'm sure there will be others who have caught something that I missed or will have different ideas about what something means.

I remember when I first found out about imdb. I was taking a video editing course - so of course movies were always the topic - and I was discussing with a classmate how I wished there was a website that was devoted to movies; names of the cast and crew, basic synopsis etc. He just gave me a funny look and said something like "You don't know about imdb?" Boy, did I feel like a goof.

I have a brain and good taste, so no, I'm not part of the target demographic.

Re: They're shutting it down!

Well, imdb will still be around. So, you can still look up boards. Just not talk about them anymore. Lol. I'll miss you, Rev. You were a good egg.

RIP Gene Wilder. RIP Barbara Hale. You were great in Perry Mason. RIP William Christopher.
