Rest assured, however, that the tribble-sized TREK stories will continue to flow, even without opening commentary or your daily dose of metal mania. In addition to a million other projects, we're working on a brand new bulletin board system that should make using the STAR TREK BBS easier and more user-friendly.

Combining TrekWeb's signature style with brand new features long lacking, the new system is currently open to beta testing and will continue to be one of the most unique bulletin boards on the Internet (no Ultimate BBS here). If you decide to take a peek, click the "settings" button once there to tweak some of the new features before browsing. Post any bug reports or comments on the Ready Room forum.

Stay tuned! In the meantime, enjoy...
