It's quite a claim to make that nobody would be motivated by a star trek forum, even if it was in addition to everything else, to create a KMC account.

yes but you cant compare the two since trekkies tend to be intelligent while conspiracy theorists tend to be batshit idiots.

on a side note, that forum was only created to clean up the gdf of copy/paste david iyke spam from deano and mr parker.

Just no vs. forum. Otherwise, sounds good. Star Trek seems like it would have more of a fan base than a lot of other franchises.

I'm not a Star Trek fan so I can't say yes, plus...really, I haven't seen a huge amount of discussion about it that'd warrant a separate section. Though I haven't really bothered to search it out.

But fact of the matter is that a lot of the franchises that people want forums for, those forums die out.

Personally I am of the opinion the more forums the merrier.

I voted yes.

However; I will be entirely, bluntly honest here; I'm not a fan of Star Trek. I don't believe I've ever seen a single episode, and I know I've never watched any of the films.

However, the fanbase that Star Trek draws is considerable. Gargantuan, in fact.

I feel that it'd be supportable, even if I, myself, wouldn't partake.

we all know who's opinions matter here

If we have forums for Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter and the Terminator series, I think that for that alone is justification enough for having a Star Trek one.

Not to mention Star Trek kicks ass and will only gain popularity as the new movie approaches.

I have always loved Star Trek ever since City on the Edge of forever and Space Seed. Of course, I'm more partial TNG. I would certainly love a Star Trek forum and look forward to talking pure Trek in one. I am truly in favor of a Star Trek forum and I'll ask others to come and lend their support. As Worf says "Qapla"

The current traffic on Star Trek isn' t big enough to warrant its own forum in my opinion. The Official Star Trek Thread has only generated 25 posts since its creation in January.

I' m wondering if the people who are voting yes would actually participate in such a forum.

I'll support the idea. I'm actually a die hard Star Wars junkie, but Star Trek is an enjoyable series. I think that a forum would generate enough traffic to justify it's creation.

I don't understand the opposition to forums like the History forum. What's the big deal. Sure it didn't kick off in a way to become the biggest forum on KMC. But some people had a good time discussing some topics there, I can understand if it was like a big amount of work or really expensive, maybe I am missing something, but was it really?

Yes lets have a forum....i joined because of the comic book and versus section......but when i started to look around the site and got familiar with all the sections i was impressed, i never went in some threads but always thought how much it makes the whole site more grand and awe inspiring...i love star trek and would hope to find myself in such threads,but even if i were to not participate...i think its a good idea, i am not sure how the mods are effected......but when all is said and done,it deserves one...just on its history and what its done for many industries

I vote yes 👆

I strongly support this idea. I love Star Trek and all of its spin-offs and would be happy to discuss them anytime. My roommates and I have recently begun watching TNG (season six) on DVD. So many great stories!

So, yeah. I'll talk Trek.

another vote from me. 🙂

One vote from me there should be a Star Trek forum here and kudos to Rauol for trying to gain support for a Trek forum. If there is a HP, POTC and Star Wars forum, then there should be a Trek forum to nuff said...

Well there is a Smallville discussion and a Heroes discussion...Star Trek is way more popular than any of those programmes and the movies are also very popular

I personally don't like Star Trek but it totally deserves a discussion.

I own all of the Star Trek movies on DVD, but, admittedly, I don't own any of the series sets on DVD. However, I've always been fond of The Next Generation.

Personally, I don't know how we've ever gone without a Star Trek forum.
