As for your point on toys versus props (regarding price, especially), I for one couldn't agree more. For

If you do shut it down, before you do... let me take a moment say how much I have enjoyed it over the years, and to personally say "Thank You".
This has been one of my favorite sites and while I don't always agree with every poster I've had a discussion with, I have learned to try and look at things from other perspectives. So while your probably right that no one changes their, opinions, I would hope a few of us have learned to appreciate another perspective.
Seeing a number of posts (in different threads no less) that you've made, certainly made me go back and look at some of my posts, and I hope I'm not contributing to the negativity of the site, though I'm sure I've had a rant or two over the years.
I guess it also made me think about how much most of us (myself included) tend to repeat the same thing. I guess thats a bit of human nature, and well... sorry about that! It tends to happen when threads pop up with more or less the same topic.
Any how, I love being a member here, and really enjoy blogging with other trek fans, even if we don't agree.
If I can do anything to help make your site better for you... please tell me or tell us, and I'll try to oblige so that you can enjoy it as much as your patrons do!

Being a fan of a number of other shows and a buyer of many different toys, I've been on a fair few forums in the last few years, and I must say this site is 1 million times better than any of them put together. To me, its just the right size, not to many people that nobody pays attention to you, and not to small to be considered a ghost town. I had to push my self to even post on some of the others sites, this one however I'll post as regularly as possible. Everybody here is friendly and there is no discrimination between members, for somebody who has few Star Trek friends besides my family its great to be able to chat, to share knowledge, to have a laugh with like-minded people.
In my opinion, this site embody's Gene's vision perfectly. Many thanks FHC in making a fantastic site, may it live long and prosper.

The reason i am recounting all of this is because i became possessed by collecting, spending too much money, and had become arrogant and took offense easily if i felt someone else was being arrogant. I havent spent much time on here in the last year and a half because my condition had become so debilitating i could hardly get out of bed. Its been a hard row to hoe, but i have gotten some treatment, taking medication and feel better than i did a few months ago. I have sold off almost everything in my collection, with the last few things on auction on ebay now. I still have some bad days, but the good days are comking more often and i enjoy my job working at the Movie Studio here! It has been a blast watching Iron Man 3 being made !
In conclusion, i will echo what i have heard FHC say many times, This is a hobby and its supposed to be fun. If its not fun anymore then its time to quit. If you find yourself arguing over petty things, getting upset over things that dont amount to a hill of beans, then you need to step back and examine yourself. Courtesy does go along way. No one has a right to be rude, regardless if you are right or not. Remember what our mama's and Grandmothers said, If you can come up with something nice to say, dont say anything at all. Hobbies are supposed to be fun and stress relievers, not stress builders.
To anyone here that ive ever offended, i am deeply sorry and i am trying to have a more positive outlook on life and be respectful of others around me. Thanks for reading1

I appreciate you sharing.... I have always found your posts insightful and pleasant.... I will say I notice your not around as much on the board.... Doesn't seem the same with out you around as much.... but I understand if you have to contend with life's responsibilities ..... I on the other hand am not married and don't have kids so I tend to escape more with my collecting.... sometimes I do too much with the collecting and probably am not living enough.....
Oh geez...I'm getting all self analytical..... lol .... Where's Counselor Troi when I need her !!!
I want to say thank you also FHC for providing this awesome forum !!!

and that is not a role play item, but it cost 10X as much.
I'm not sure that I am going to renew the forum in April to be honest.
Oh please say it ant so. This place is one of the few good things I have in my life in part thanks to FHC and the Save Enterprise people that came over. Since then I have mad new friends and have learned much. This forum is more than a place to talk about toys it is a place of learning, where we can share ideas and passions. Now with that said I spend most of my time on this forum in the custom section so I don’t see a lot of that ranting aspect, but in my humble opinion I do not think that you should take down the wonder that you have created here at trek toy this is your Star Trek and like G.R. you have good people that appreciate all your hard work and would hate to see it go. Now b4 I get all mushy I will end with, DON’T LET ME GET KLINGON ON YOUR @$$
Ps: just ban people like that.
Long Live the Empire &TT

I had a nap since I said that.
No worries. I had to jump through a LOT of hoops to get this new forum in place, and it cost a few bucks too. It'll be here awhile longer.
