/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

@jawa21@startrek.website for realizing that the line used to be "want to be added to the sidebar?" and capitalized on it. Congratulations and welcome to the sidebar. Stamets is both ashamed and proud.

I just wanted to say thanks for everyone in making this community hit the ground sprinting. I never expected things to take off this quickly and I certainly didn't expect this to feel so homey and welcoming. I haven't felt this since I first started posting to Lemmy.

Thank you guys so much and you're all awesome! Live long and prosper you bad bitches

The awesomeness you see and recieve is directly related to the awesomeness you give everyone.

Thanks to you and your team for everything you guys do

You're right, Lemmy has never felt better than it does right here.

No, thank you for creating this space for us. It was necessary for the community to thrive.

Plus, look at that logo! FFS, that glorious community logo!! Two days in and the branding is already on point lol

I wish I could say that I made that logo. I have the ability to make it but I'm not sure how good it would work in comparison. But seriously thank you for the compliment! Seriously!

I found this image while looking for shots of the Ten Forward set:

All I did was remove the background, extra text, add extra space between the text and the delta, recolor everything and add a couple dropshadows/strokes. Same with the banners really. All I did was take a couple of images and slap some text on them. Actually... considering they'll likely never see the light of day again anyway, here were the other options we were considering.

We need the logo on hats and tshirts!

[โ€“] kellyaster@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago

Hey, it still looks great, I dig the color fills and various finishing bits you did, and I do see you tightened up the keming. Omg I could talk about this all day, I was a graphic designer in a previous life. But that was a long time ago.

But yeah the logo is slick, and the banners are fun! We should use them somewhere. I agree with negativenull, hats and shirts!! I would totally buy one.
