Word is that the video quality on these isn't quite as good as the separate theatrical and extended editions.

DVD-18's are basically two DVD-9's glued back to back. They're a pain in the ass to handle (no label) and their reliability has been questionable.

I've been watching the TNG box sets recently (working on season 5 now), and there's plenty of conflict between various characters--even within the Federation itself.

It does tend to be episodic, but watching the show still has its rewards.

Not really. As if the movie weren't enough of a Khan ripoff already, they pulled a Spock/Bones with Data/B4. They could bring him back if they wanted to.

TOS cast members were making ST movies into their sixties, so I wouldn't mind another adventure with Picard and Co. They could probably work the same CG magic on Spiner that they did with Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan in X3 for their younger days, although doing that throughout a whole film for one character might be prohibitively expensive.

Also, fuck Berman and what he's done to Gene Roddenberry's vision.

I agree with YIYF and Darth Chaltab. The issue of promoting another site here is one thing. If Jay doesn't like it, fine. But to be rude like that is another. General Star Wars Discussion forum has become troll central and that ok, but say something about it, and you get mad. I don't think thats right.

Yeah, because Warb hasn't been riding my ass and posting inflammatory things in his signature for weeks now. Nothing like that happened.

Your holier-than-thou attitude is tiresome. We could've contributed to each other at one point, but now I'm positive I don't want anything to do with any of you.

I've asked you not to promote you site here. Now I'm telling you.

Don't.

I won't waste my time or my moderators' time digging through your posts to edit links. From now on, we delete posts in their entirety.

Find some other place to spam with links, sort of like you've been doing on MySpleen lately.

Anybody who has a problem these policies may follow the link I posted previously to the land of freedom and justice, where members like DAYV, Warbler, and hot.like.fire will greet you with open arms.

I always wondered why that guy could do whatever he wanted on this forum and now we know. I think it's a shame! Maybe you should have edited a few of his posts and teach him some manners.

Don't be too hard on him. His mom is a Thai prostitute with a club foot and his dad was Kickboxing/Chickenhead Eating Champion from 1997 to 2002. His dad sold them on ebay to pay his tournament entrance fees in 2003, but he withdrew in shame when he was caught "abusing" the chickens.

I can't leave an open bucket of KFC unattended or Stinky pulls a total American Pie on me every time.

one last question on this matter:

since you did it, Jay, is it allowed now to link to FE?

It's not an open invitation for you to start promoting your site, no. It's an invitation for those who are unhappy with ot.com to leave, and I imagine anyone with that problem is probably reading this thread.

You'll notice all this drama has been confined to Off Topic and the fan edit forums are pretty much unaffected. I plan to keep it that way.

Whether Warlber overreacted or not isn't the issue. The issue is that the WEBMASTER of the site leveled a completely ridiculous and unwarranted attack at the guy for simply questioning why the moderators are SO QUICK when it comes to censoring links to the website that rhymes with I'M SO CLEVER...

You're a nice guy, Darth, but you're clueless on this one.

Those links get deleted because some people have poor internet etiquette. You don't use someone else's private message system to promote your own site behind their back. Period. You don't go against their requests not to link to the site while talks are taking place. You don't run around like an ass calling the mods Nazis.

Warb was being a smartass and got an appropriate response. If that's enough for him to leave, he needs to man up.

As I've said repeatedly, anyone who feels they're getting a raw deal can go.

Tell you what. Since this has all become so absurd, here it is:

FanEdited: the new home of DAYV, Warbler, and the rest of the oppressed.

I welcome anyone who doesn't want to be a part of this community any more to go and join theirs. You can run free in fields of green and complain about this place until your fingertips bleed. Their Off Topic section seems particularly active. I'm sure it won't be long before some Nobel Prize-worthy posts appear.

Also, Stinky stays because he's my child from a previous marriage. He's actually my stepson, but his mom didn't want to take him after the divorce.

i mean no offence to DAYV when i say this but if he's going to constantly try and get under Jay's skin by posting stupid pictures and calling people "forum nazi's" when clearly we all know that this forum is far from being regulated i say leave.
it's obvious he's doing it on purpose and i personally thought that he couldn't stoop that low... but low and behold the wonders of knowing people on the internet.

their true colours always shine through.

i dont visit this place much as it is but at least i know why i stopped coming in the first place...
childish shit like this...

goodluck with the site guys.
later

The focus of this forum changed to fan edits a long time ago. If you check out those sections, you'll see plenty of healthy discussions. If you're not into fan edits, this forum doesn't offer as much as it once did. I will say that General Discussions has picked up quite a bit, and with the exception of one new addition who doesn't seem to have many fans, it's a decent place to discuss Star Wars.

Please don't view recent events in the Off Topic section as representative of normal forum activity. If it were a flame fest every day, I'd be the first to say it's time to pull the plug.

anyway, let's shake hands,whenever you are ready, Jay,

Sometimes, things can get out of hand when debate gets heated. Miscommunications occur and misunderstandings result. I don't think either side is proud of or pleased with the outcome.

No hard feelings.

It's not fear of losing members. It's the way it was all handled.

Last post from me on any of this. I'm done.

If your son had somehow managed to make a copy of your book, edit that, and leave the original intact, then that would've been perfectly acceptable
