/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.

@[email protected] 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.

Hey and let me the first, and a happy first, to welcome you to /c/TenForward, a place dedicated to hanging out and talking Trek. Whether you're theorizing about old tech (or a new season), talking about your favorite class of ship (Crossfield, but are you surprised?) or just wanting to check out some memes, Ten Forward is the place for you.

Ten Forward was founded with the express purpose of providing a calm, relaxing hangout atmosphere where people could talk about all aspects of Trek. A community that was built to be a real community with friends and strangers coming together to help entertain each other and provide a happy place for us all to go. We want this community to be broad enough to encompass all things Trek under one umbrella, whether that be your typical source of memes, some recent news about a new Picard movie in the mix, some really cool fan art you've found or just how existentially horrifying the transporters really are.

We do have a set of rules in the sidebar but they're no more stringent or severe than you would see in any other general subreddit, but we do ask people to be familiar with them and to follow them to the best of their ability. They're all pretty basic though. Be kind to one another, don't be bigoted, try to avoid negativity and support people when you can, stick to being on topic (as long as it's Trek related, you're good!) and try to tag recent spoilers of anything released within the last 3-ish months.

And who are here to enforce the rules and help provide the community with a framework of what to expect? Well there's myself of course but also the stellar @[email protected], the celestial @[email protected] and the out-of-this-world @[email protected]! And of course we won't just be moderating but posting as well. And boy do I personally have a backlog from dealing with personal stuff over the past month or so. If you have any issues with something you see, please report it. If you feel that mod action wasn't particularly fair, reach out to one of us. We're here to help provide a great experience for everyone across the board.

So welcome to /c/TenForward! And to borrow, and slightly alter, a quote from a man I miss everyday...

Since my customary farewell would appear oddly self-serving, I shall simply say... ๐Ÿ–– ... Have fun.

This is amazing, thanks! I am on windows and generally happy grabbing a gif from online but I've definitely had situations where I can't find exactly what I want so this is incredibly helpful. I'll reach out if I have issues but I look forward to contributing GIFS WITH WORDS! Unlimited power!!!

Oh yeah no worries, if you need a specific Trek gif or clip let me know. Always cool if you can make it yourself with higher resolution compared to some of those deep fried gifs you find online

Wen funny strike! (Admittedly, I haven't been contributing much, forgot I needed to finish a course before a course I'm no in starts...) But I will have a goddamn good gif before too long and will share with all!
