I get a chuckle every time I see that on the cover.

Jean looked it up, and like so many stupid comments by politicians, it was never said by the politician but by an actor on Saturday Night Live.

An actor on that show played me in 2006 saying "I can see Oklahoma from my house!"

Another great GWB-ism - "More and more of our imports are coming from overseas..."

By Michael Bennett (Mike) on Saturday, August 20, 2022 - 01:41 pm: Edit

I guess we don't count the imports from Canada or Mexico...

The GWB-ism just highlighted they are losing their hold.....
It wasn't as bad a goof as people want to make it...

Something for the telemarketers that call all the time:

Telemarketer: Hello, am I speaking with business owner
Me: No, he is no longer with us..
pause, pause
Telemarketer: Is there a new owner
Me: No, we haven't found anyone to fill his position yet.
pause pause
Telemarketer: Sorry to hear that

Looking at modules G1, G2 and G3 there is no consistency in using a comma or period between the product and any additional notes. For consistency what would be correct? Using "Interceptor Energy Allocation Form: Page 50, K Rulebook, opposite side of (SH27.0)" should it be "Rulebook, opposite" or a period "K Rulebook. Opposite?"

By Jean Sexton Beddow (Jsexton) on Monday, January 16, 2023 - 12:25 pm: Edit

Ken, it depends. If the note is all one thing, then it is all commas. So if the form is opposite of SH27.0, and that happens to be in Module K on p. 50, then it would all be one note with commas. If that opposite side of SH27 is somewhere else, then it gets a period before "opposite."

Thank you.

I looked through the capitalization guide is Battle Eagle the correct usage?

By Jean Sexton Beddow (Jsexton) on Monday, January 30, 2023 - 02:44 pm: Edit

Yes.

Greetings Jean:

Are you receiving emails from me? I have sent several requests and have had no reply. Thanks.

Chuck

Chuck, I haven't seen them. Please drop a line to sales@starfleetgames.com.

I am working very short hours as Al is recovering from surgery and needs some care at home.

This board just made me "verify you're human" before allowing me to connect. But what if I identify as a Vulcan or an Orion and not a Human?? And how's Klingon Petrick supposed to log in???

Garth, we are trying to add a layer of security. Unfortunately, it isn't playing well with some browsers.

By Warren Mathews (Turtle) on Friday, July 14, 2023 - 05:16 pm: Edit

For me it would only play nice with Firefox if I went to the homepage first instead of directly to Discus. Now it is working correctly on my other browsers.

By Jean Sexton Beddow (Jsexton) on Friday, July 14, 2023 - 05:21 pm: Edit

We took off Cloudflare. The site should return to normal in the next hour or so.

By Garth L. Getgen (Sgt_G) on Friday, July 14, 2023 - 05:40 pm: Edit

I just thought it was funny that a board about Star Trek, known for all the non-human characters, would ask you to verify being human and not humanoid.

Still getting the Cloudflare human check.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Friday, July 14, 2023 - 11:19 pm: Edit

I never got the human check, what does that say?

By Will McCammon (Djdood) on Saturday, July 15, 2023 - 01:11 am: Edit

It looks like this:

And it does it before it will process every single click.

It has stopped on mine now.

By Kevin Howard (Jarawara) on Saturday, July 15, 2023 - 11:03 am: Edit

I had all that too, though usually the message boards simply said I can not access the website on this server. When I tried to access the main page (starfleetgames.com), I got a blank page that simply said "IT WORKS!", but nothing actually worked.

Everything seems to be working now though. I dunno if you fixed it, or if my computer simply had to get used to the new... whatever it was that was new.

I have never had a good experience dealing with Cloudflare.

By Jean Sexton Beddow (Jsexton) on Monday, July 17, 2023 - 05:31 pm: Edit

We went with Cloudflare because it works well on the shopping cart. (We were required to add it because the DoS attacks were slowing other sites hosted on the servers.)

Cloudflare has been disabled until we can find out if it will work on our sites.
