    Greetings,

    The announcement I have today is a sad one; Sharpkiller has made the tough decision to step down from his duties within the UFP. We all recognise that he has been with this community for a long time, and making such a decision is bound to be tough. I still remember Sharpkiller as being the one who replied to my thread on the Cryptic forums when I was looking for a fleet to join, and whilst we have had differences of opinion in the past, I have always respected the work he has done for the community.

    Being an active part of the UFP’s leadership for 9 years could not have been an easy feat, especially with the many redesigns, and website bugs to fix. I hope you can feel proud of everything you have accomplished within the UFP Sharp, I'm sure you have left quite a long lasting impression!

    This change will come into effect within the next few days, it will be sad and strange to see Sharpkiller with a blue name, but we all wish him the very best, and remind him not to be a stranger!

    Fly safe o7

    I’ve already passed on these sentiments to CL6, so I apologise in advance for boring them by plagiarising myself somewhat.

    I joined the UFP back in July of 2007. The UFP was a small Bridge Commander clan back then, with a tight knit core group of dedicated individuals. It was not the behemoth that it is today. In fact, as far as Bridge Commander clans went, it was one of the smaller ones. A lot has changed since then, and 11 years later the UFP is now one of the oldest (and most certainly largest) Star Trek gaming communities in existence. It is probably one of the oldest online gaming communities, full stop. The UFP has evolved from Bridge Commander clan, to RPG-X juggernaut, to leading STO fleet, and now today to a more general gaming community while retaining its deep Star Trek roots. I became a part of what was then called the Admirals Council (the titular equivalent of FEO during its day) back in 2008 or 2009 (my memory fails me), and am proud to have been a part of that evolution.

    The UFP has had its growing pains over the years, but it is a true success story. I’d like to thank all members both past, present, and future who have or will have contributed some of their valuable time to making this community a better place. It takes a lot of time and dedication by countless individuals to create what the UFP is today. Everyone should be proud of what we have managed to accomplish as a group.

    I wish the UFP luck in the future. Over it’s lengthy history, the UFP has had its ups and downs, but even during the deepest of downs the UFP has preserved. My parting wisdom and advice is to keep persevering no matter what and to keep diversifying the community, while maintaining its deep connection to Star Trek - don't let the UFP die.

    I'll stop in from time to time, and I will try to make apperances on TeamSpeak.

    Ditto to what Tain just said. Enjoy you retirement, remembering always that your dedication and perseverance has and will continue to leave a lasting legacy on the UFP as a whole. And, although I am a fairly new member, I believe that I can speak for the entire community in wishing you a job well done. You have earned your keep and pulled your weight in the community. Have a wonderful retirement! Live Long and ProsperConstitution light

    Do not go gentle into that good night
    Dylan Thomas, 1914 - 1953
    Do not go gentle into that good night,
    Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
    Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

    Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
    Because their words had forked no lightning they
    Do not go gentle into that good night.

    Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
    Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
    Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

    Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
    And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
    Do not go gentle into that good night.

    Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
    Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
    Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

    And you, my father, there on the sad height,
    Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
    Do not go gentle into that good night.
    Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
