GeneralLee Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 So' date=' with enterprise ending, we need something new to represent us. What do you all think?/quote'] I was actually thinking more along the lines that we will loose a good chunk of the membership on may 15th. We're going to need something new to attract new people. I was thinking stargate because its probably the hottest "new" thing out there. This site needs a weekly torrent for people to look foward to, otherwise slowly, it will die. Even those of us devoted to staying will get sick of seeding the same old half dead torrents once we all have them. (Edit: damn, the quotes are broken) =============== That's called swaying the jury. I completely disagree with those statements, after I have mulled it over for a while now. How will it "die"? Fewer visitors? What's more important, "this site" as in the tracker, or the forums? Sure, many people come "here" to the tracker probably just to get many of Nite's latest Enterprise encodes of each episope, and for the other excellent season torrents he creates. Hell, I get mine from BTefnet first, and then get Nite's (but only since only Ent. - 4-12). When Enterprise is over in a week or so, what will happen then??? Are you serious??? Do you REALLY think that most here think Enterprise is ALL that matters here???? This site will continue to grow slowly by leaps and bounds, due to it's content. If a few hundred or even thousands of people who cannot even take the time to register to the site, and be a member, do not show up again, I say: "Good ridance," leechers.... Yet, it will still grow, be assured. It still amazes me when I look at some of the older full season eps and single eps of Enterprise, and see how many seeders and leechers, there ALWAYS are. The site now has over 31,000 members and how many REALLY type here in the forums? A few hundred of us maybe? I love Stargate, and I love Atlantis, I'm not yet a Doctor Who fan tho.... Do we NEED to have some sort of a "motto" or emblem not of Nite's choice, to enblazen on the main site, or be his "Flag Ship" (whatever that means)? I say, it is his choice, and if he had the wish to ask about this subject, and enquire about the "future," it should have been himself to start this thread/poll, not anyone else. No offense, but I could really care less.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WreckGar Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Why does he need to change anything at all? What, is Star Trek as a whole going to cease to exist when ENTERPRISE ends? I have MY doubts. ;) If he's a TREK enthusiast and there're TREK torrents to be had, regardless of whether they're from actively-produced series or not, It still fits fine.

BigDawgAMD Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 This thread is nothing but an intellectual exercise. "IF" & "WHEN" night decides it needs changed, he will change it. If Night wants opinions, he will ask. Untill then I like it just the way it is. I say, it is his choice, and if he had the wish to ask about this subject, and enquire about the "future," it should have been himself to start this thread/poll, not anyone else I couldn't agree more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CthulhuSpawn Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 I think Galactica 1980 should be our flagship, 'cause it's the bestest ever! JK. I voted for sci-fi in general, because I pretty much love all sci-fi with a few exceptions which will not go named here (except, I did just name one). However, I thought the whole point of renaming the site was to avoid Paramount's attention? Not saying that the pic matters in this regard, but I think a montage of images from different shows would be less conspicuous, and convey the idea that all fandoms are welcome. We are a growing community of varied interests, and no matter what we will all be served equally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antilles Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 I like all sci-fi so im easy for logos/banners. And Im definitely up for user submitted banner ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorlock Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 I'd say keep Enterprise. It breathes nostalgia - longing for things loved and lost. An icon, whistful and rebelious, even more so now it's getting axed. I say running with it shows taste, flair, awareness of identity, backbone and sure footedness.

Pella Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 well i think my torrrent uploads speak volumes about my preference. But' date=' im just happy that this site exists no matter what the flagship is.[/quote'] Blake's 7? !!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maverick Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 am i pointing out the blatantly bloody obvious here or what? the site has been gettin more and more popular.nite put up some stats somewhere. ...and its been gettin more popular even tho enterprise is goin off the air. anyone miss that? laters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtremeskiing Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 holy freaking crap, everyone is gettig heated in this. im sorry I posted it. Here is how it works: After maybe a year, everyone who wants to find this site, probably found it. Not long after everyone that is here has everthing. So we all seed for like another six monthes as the people still tricleing in do the same. Eventually the peer lists degrade so much and the seed list skyrockets till people start turning off their seeds so they can devote bandwith to higher demand things. Slowly the site goes inactive and the people who trickle in come to a very slow site. the "flagship" and by flagship I dont mean logo, I mean weekly reliable torrent that people go stark raving mad over. What this does is it keeps people constantly going to the tracker to pick up new things. while thet are there, they look around and see things they want, but never thought of. They download. Everyone is doing the same, so people keep seeding. The cycle continues. But for the cycle to keep spinning, you need something that turns the pedals. Right now that is enterprise. For a while after it will be Nite's 175mb encodes. Eventually the pedals loose momentum as described above. Right now I think stargate would be a great pedal turner. Dr. WHo would be better, but we already got in trouble for that. As for those of you who keep saying this is nites call. Nite seems open minded, his most reliable source of informatoin is Us, the people who the site serves, without us, the cycle stops spinnging. Therefore, If I understand correctly, that is why nite reads these board, for ideas. In the end, yeah, this is his decision, but I dont think it would be fair to hide something that I think would benefit the site. Nite, correct me if I'm wrong.

maverick Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 no offense dude. thing is, as long as there is goood sci fi then there will be a reason to return. plus as more and more people discover torrents there will be a steady stream of newcomers, not just regular visitors. hey nite, any way you could get an animation, like some of the avatars that would stream through a sci fi theme? that would look f'in grrreat and not limit the themes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisis1033 Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 I vote for Star Trek in general.... Why...? Because its Star Trek and it rocks. Yes. Great minds do think alike! c4evap :p Exactly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisis1033 Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 I had a go at a new logo, same size as current one :) Nice Logo.. good job. It would look even better if the Enterprise E was replaced with the original series enterprise.. ;) "No bloody A... No bloody B... No bloody C... No Bloody D AND....

kevinp Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 "No bloody A... No bloody B... No bloody C... No Bloody D AND.... No bloody E......." Who said this and in what movie? I remember he was from TOS and it was to the Holodeck on Picard's ship, but I can't remember for the life of me, who said it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
