Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: consolcwby on November 07, 2024, 08:39:00 PMI liked old Trek and the movies, thought TNG was meh and everything after was an abomination. In fact, I recently bought the 4K director's cut version of ST:TMP (V-Ger movie). It really upsets me they didn't just bring the original cast back for another 3-5 year run instead of just getting movies.

The movies were far more prestigious than another TV series would have been, especially with every movie studio in Hollywood wanting to dip into that Star Wars gravy train.

The concept of a prestige format syndicated TV show didn't exist yet, apart from the occasional high dollar miniseries. Star Trek The Next Generation wouldn't arrive until a decade later.

Quote from: Ratman_tf on October 23, 2024, 09:55:49 PMI'll take the WOK battles any day over the CGI nightmare of nuTrek. But it's a lot of mindless action, and that appeals to kids and the majority of moviegoers I guess.
Apply that sentiment to a lot (not all) of modern movies versus the "old" stuff. I guess I'm, a crotchey old grognard now.

I don't even mind the CGI nuTrek, but the Wrath fights really caught my imagination as a kid and cemented that one as THE Star Trek movie.

Submarine combat in space? Hell yes.

Monster maroons. The movie era designs.

I like Benedict Cumberbatch. But Montalban chewed that scenery to pieces. Perfection.

And the first actual scary scene I had seen from Star Trek.
