Thanks for making the new forum all.  I never posted much on Gay Star Wars because the first time I did I got hit with gay porn spam immediately.  I’m sure you booted that harvester long ago, but I was still scared.

I feel much safer here where my address is not out in the open, so I’ll be much more likely to contribute.  Assuming I have anything to say.

Say, um, do we get anything for being one of the Charter Ten? 

Welcome, Lysander! I’m glad you made the switch. I’m sorry to hear about the spam problems from the Yahoo group. I finally hid everyone’s addresses over there, which helped, but didn’t stop spammers from mining the messages.

I’m hoping to have more control over those kinds of things here.

As for recognition for the Charter 10, I bet we could do a t-shirt.

CHANCE

I live in Manhattan, so anything physical such as a t-shirt, or even a keychain, isn’t a good choice for me, given my limited space, and overly sufficient amount of possessions.

Maybe the option of a custom title line, instead of the Fanboy progression?  Or an additional text line underneath that only we get as early adopters?  Not sure which would be easier, I would think the first.  I personally might choose “Eight of Ten,” as it’s a lot like “Seven of Nine,” only better on both counts. 

Or a special Avatar?

Even as a gay man I get a little twinge when I see “Seven of Nine”... she’s HOT.

Welcome, Doctor! Yes, the site is still evolving. I’ll start up threads (or you should feel free to, as well) in the TV section on Doctor Who and Battlestar Galactica. I’ll be blogging the US season premiere of season 4 of Doctor Who this Friday! So feel free to join in!

I’m very excited about this forum.  I’ve been looking for a decent “gay geek” forum for a while.  I’m glad this one’s run by people I already trust.  Big plus.

Great site Chance and Friends.  I too will be adding this to my daily reading sites.

Thanks, everybody, for the kind words and well wishes. Our first day online was a big success! No major disasters, over 100 posts and lots of new friends.

I have a list of nitpicky issues that I’m going to be working on for the next couple of days with the web designer, so please bare with me (or bear with me, if you are a bear). We’ll get everything sorted out.

Thanks!

Welcome, Darth Marmalade! Thanks for joining us! I’m looking for a gay fangirl consultant right now to help integrate the ladies into the site. So if you know of anyone, please let me know. We will keep working to be as inclusive as possible.

Thanks!
