/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.

It's just ... mean.

None of those characters we watched and love for years would ever act the way they do here. I know the joke is coworkers are terrible and life is meaningless, but it's too much ennui and nihilism for a fandom dedicated to humanity's adventuring spirit.

Just hear me out. Go and read them. Seriously go and read all 300+ of the comics this weekend or whenever you have time. If you don't honestly get bored or feel downright empty, I will never post in an O'Brian at Work thread on pain of banning.

I like most of the stuff yall post here, but O'Brian at Work is bad.

I've read a good 200 of them and I did not honestly get bored or feel downright empty. They made me laugh. Maybe don't take a pretend show about pretend people in on a pretend space ship or space station so seriously.

I assure you, I don't take the show all that seriously. But it's also possible to not like a stupid web comic for valid reasons.

I seem to have taken up enough of your time. I hope you have a good rest of your day.

Believe it or not, no one is forcing you to look at these threads. Other people enjoy them and you are not being personally catered to.
