Hello, fellow Trekkies and Trekkers, | |||
The dawn of 2011 marks the middle of of our 16th year in operation. Can you believe it? For 16 years, our organizations has been providing quality Star Trek role playing. Our group is older than some of the most venerable internet institutions, including Google, and Amazon.com! Even Star Trek: Voyager had not begun airing when we began simming in AOL chat rooms. (Back then, it was still AOL 1.0!) | The dawn of 2011 marks the middle of of our 16th year in operation. Can you believe it?

It is this heritage that allows us to continue to thrive, despite a decline in long-form text-based RP’ing on the internet today. Even as new Star Trek movies refresh the fanbase, it’s becoming more-and-more difficult with each passing year to recruit members. Nonetheless, although 2010 was a difficult year, we’ve managed to get back on our feet for 2011, and prepare ourselves for what may be our own renaissance in the next two years. But before we dive into plans for the future, let’s take a look at what successes and challenges we faced in 2010. | It is this heritage that allows us to continue to thrive, despite a decline in long-form text-based RP’ing on the internet today.

Our fleet was in a difficult place by early 2010, with OOC activity declining, the lowest number of officers prepared for command that we’ve seen in many years, and a website that was slowly falling far out of date. With Fleet Admiral Wolf stepping back temporarily from major administrative duties, some areas of the fleet became difficult to access. | Our fleet was in a difficult place by early 2010, with OOC activity declining, the lowest number of officers prepared for command that we’ve seen in many years, and a website that was slowly falling far out of date.
