Other than staff, I'm not sure who else is still around that uses colored usernames. When it comes to something like that, I'm almost positive it's not a coding problem. Either it would work all the time, or not at all. I'm almost positive it would have to be something on your end that's not loading (once in a while a certain page won't load all the way, and not everything appears exactly the way it should).
I could be wrong though...

Back on topic, I to be honest think that we are here for Star Trek not Stargate etc. Now I love Stargate but I don't come here for that. People would sooner go to dedicated forums on a TV show, not a forum that "includes" discussions about said TV show. I personally think it's better the way it is at current, Trek fans talking about Trek. If we feel the urge to discuss another show then there are forums in place for that, I know you want more members but I honestly think trying to add areas for other things is not going to give you the effects you desire. They will merly sit very inactive. New users are hardly going to want to talk about Xmen if the board for that area is dead. We are Trek, I say we keep it that way.

Speaking of which where is that thread, I want a colored name! The forum shop is temporarily closed. I'm deciding whether I want to keep it the way it was or make some changes. It'll be running again at some point in the near future.

I actually agree with a lot of what you said, but I wanted to throw the idea out there to gauge interest. And more than likely, if I were to expand the forum, it wouldn't be just adding some boards. It could mean a complete makeover. New skins and overhauling the board layout would be some examples. It might be too radical of a change though.

Varel, you don't know? You were around with bee and Artemus, right? Bee had a green name, Artemus had a teal name. Never noticed?

I agree with Akira. This is primarily a Star Trek forum and that's what it should stay -- although it's okay to talk about other things as well. I remember starting threads on Doctor Who and comic book superheroes, but no one seemed interested.

I see your point, but if this was labeled as a Sci-Fi/Fantasy (whatever) forum, then people might actually want to talk about that topic you mentioned.

On an unrealted note, j-boy you may want to remove the [ss:Cool Blue][ss:Borg][ss:Insurrection[ss:Insurrection] from your profile, it is making the column extend.
And that being said, Matt; You might want to change it so that those tages are not automatically added.

This post may have come late compared to the other posts, but I think that the misc. section is a good place to talk about other sci-fi by trek fans. Like many others here as a trek fan, I am also a fan of other sci-fi series and movies. Another thing is that I think its OK to make some comparisons of trek with other sci-fi in their similarities and differences when it is relevant.

I'm a fan of other sci-fi type movies so i think that expanding the forum to include other programmes and films is a good idea, maybe you could split it into several sections?

We already have a Holodeck section, with topics on Stargate, Dr. Who, and other series, but very few people bother to post there. I don't see what we would do with a whole separate section!
