"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them." -Thomas Marrone
Maybe the web team is busy being sacked for making all these changes without warning anyone and giving us a half-baked forum...
Seriously, if the goal was to make the Cryptic forums uniform with the rest of the PWE forums, they should've used Cryptic's setup for the rest of PWE instead of the other way around.

Seems like all my lower level KDF toons were automatically bumped up to 20 as a result of that change.
This wouldn't be STAR TREK Online without a paradox :biggrin:
