Greetings, I see that people introduce themselves here, so .. this is that. I'm still learning my way around here, but it's great to see such a well put together community online. I'm a lifelong Trekkie and sci-fi fan, a former Unite States Marine, and am currently a writer and editor. I'm on the east coast of the U.S. and I play Star Trek Online. I'm new to the game, but suitably and thoroughly addicted.
I'm also a collector. When I got a pic with Captain Kirk at a con last year I brought one of my favorite items, a Hallmark keepsake ornament of the painful goodbye and parting of two great friends in the Wrath of Khan. I have a giant Voyager, still in the box, and the display battery still works for the awesome sound effects. I'm sure I'll open it some day... but not this day. I share these things not merely to brag about how very cool I am, but as a sort of ensign in the breeze, my nerd flag flying so you can be warned off or join in. Better to find out now that I'm over 40, 21 years married, father of two college kids, and still buy Star Trek toys and games, than to find out later and wish you hadn't told me your name.
This looks like a fun place. You're a good looking crew. I'm ready to get this voyage underway.
Live long, and prosper.

Welcome aboard. I, too, am on the U.S. east coast, but my home computer has bit the dust, so I'm not in-game at the present. When and if I get to return, I hope to see you in-game!
What I really need is a cupholder and a couple of Advil.-Quincy Taggart

Thank you for serving as a Marine, have you written about your time in the Marines, just curious?
Welcome aboard, UFP had me the moment the website loaded, it's a phenomenal community but I may be biased
