What is it?

The birthplace of Wong, SirNitram, Dalton, and all the other great people we know and love. SD.NEt is basically an extension of ASVS, except in MB format.

Yeh, but what IS it?

It's a newsgroup. alt.startrek.vs.starwars

alt.starwars.vs.startrek.

It's the usenet version this board. It's where Mike began his illustrious trekkie bashing career. Generally considered the roughest newsgroup on the 'net. More flames the devil's living room, more fucks than a vietnamese whorehouse, and insults beyond count. There are a lot of ASVS regulars here. Such as Shep, RayCav, Dalton, Weemadando, and His Divine Shadow.

We really ought to find a way to lure Chuck over here too.

Good luck. Chuck's busy enough as is

Worse than alt.flame, alt.atheism.*, soc.culture.[insert radical fruitcake group here], alt.config, or news.groups? I doubt it.

I know it's unlikely. I'd just like to see him show up here though. He's one of my favorite writers and one of the all time great wise asses.

It's a usenet group. It doesn't work like that.

phpBB can't create links to NNTP news URLs. Copy and paste
news:alt.startrek.vs.starwars into your browser's address bar.

Note that this will only work if you've configured a news (NNTP) server in your network preferences.

We really need to get his lord of Darkness (L.T. Hitman) to come over here. Of course Wong would have to give him a special coustom Title within 48 hours (Or Else).

This is not the best way to access ASVS, but I think it is the only one you can understand at this time.

Says that no group is found at that address...

I personally don't have a news server (usually either you pay for it, or it comes with your dialup account, or you can get a crappy free one). I always use Google.

Just open http://groups.google.com and in the search box type it. If you type it exactly you get straight there (as opposed to a list of possible matches)

It's alt.startrek.vs.starwars (startrek first, starwars second). I suppose because it's some kind of subgroup to the startrek group.

There was once a time when it was almost completely dominated by rabid Trekkies. Some of the insane ideas that both sides swiftly dismiss as the ravings of morons today (eg- the "E-D can shrug off a Deathstar superlaser with its nav deflector" idea) were quite widely accepted as perfectly reasonable logic at the time.

It was during those dark days that a few intrepid flame warriors such as Lord Poe and myself waged the fierce battles of old, slaying the greatest of the trolls, scattering their minions, and forcing them to retreat to their underground lair. In effect, the most successful invasion ever undertaken. Most invasions seek only to cause havoc; ours was undertaken without formal organization, but with the larger goal of conquering the target, occupying it, and driving out its oppressors.

To this day, even the Trekkies on the group (with the exception of the occasional idiot like Darkstar, who will soon be kill-filed and relegated to obscurity) recognize that an all-out war between the Empire and the Federation would easily result in Imperial victory, and they have reduced their goals to smaller victories.

As I said you have to have a news server address configured in MS Outhouse (I'm assuming you're using Windows) for news: URLs to work from Exploder's address bar.

Most ISPs do offer news/NNTP services. Check the information slips you got from your ISP with your userid and password (etc) and see if the information is there. While you can use Outhouse to read newsgroups it's a really, really bad idea to do so because of OE's security flaws. Once you've found the server information for your ISP go download XNews from http://xnews.newsguy.com and set it up to use your ISP's news server.

Reading newsgroups via google is awkward at the best of times. If you want to read ASVS on a regular basis you'll be glad you went to the trouble of setting up a proper newsreader.

Yup, and thanks to your, and others, efforts those of us who have been at ASVS for only a couple of years, now have no serious opposition to entertain us. You first ones culled off the trekkies to such a degree that I am thinking that we need to declare the rabid trekkie a endangred species, and preserve them so our grandchildren can mock them, as we ourselfs once mocked them. I am not sure if I should thank you or curse you.

How about both? Thank him for showing them the light and driving away the evil trekkies. Curse him for denying us the pleasure of crushing them ourselves.
