    I think it's pretty obvious there are a fair number of STO players/forums posters I don't particularly care for, and I have no problem expressing that bluntly on a forum where naming and shaming is not against the Terms of Service. This is news, apparently?

    The news is that you can go from total unknown to mentioned alongside someone like Nabreeki in a mere six months by crazed whackjobs who take video games way, way too seriously.

    If you're looking for something, be it WWII imagery or phallic symbols, you're probably going to find it. We humans are really good at seeing patterns where none exist - it served our ancestors well at spotting predators in the savannah. Not a lot of use on the Internet, but just because something isn't currently useful doesn't mean it stops existing (cf fingernails, coccyx).

    and in that latter case, it can be detrimental to your overall wellbeing if you slam it against a rock like i did last week​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
    An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
    A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
    A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"


    "It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
    "We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
    Passion and Serenity are one.
    I gain power by understanding both.
    In the chaos of their battle, I bring order.

    Isn't it curious that these libelous anti-dental threads always seem to pop up after hours on a Friday? It's almost as if someone knows exactly what they're doing.

    Dental has never "doxxed" anyone that I've seen, granted I could be wrong, maybe they did it to Xean (but who cares).

    Two points. This was in their early days. A friend had to get their @ handle changed thanks to dental also when they tried to do it to me I found a pair of channels they had to turn private after I found them.

    Maybe dental got their act together in the later years but I still a bit paranoid that the good work they are doing now is just PR to make up for the doxxing/trolling/other things.

    I forgot the second point. That doxxing is bad even if it is a "bad" person. If they did something wrong you take that to the law and don't try taking the law into your hands.

    Dentals actions are just like what al capone did with the soup kitchens - try to act like a benefactor that hands out free stuff to try to earn good will from people to draw attention away from everything else that they were doing.

    Funny thing is that the Dentals actually used to be entertaining... now they do nothing but play victim....

    So let me see if I get this.

    You are comparing the actions of some people who play a not very good MMO to those of a murdering gangster?

    Can you really see at all just how this comparison makes you look? Why would anyone who reads these forums ever again give anything you post any credence? Do you not see how this post makes you appear to be just as as out of control and radical as those you are complaining about?

    True that. A decent bad guy is more fun to watch than a goodie goodie. I'm guessing Cryptic came a bit too close to wiping them out so they had to get a better image.

    You wouldn't happen to be related to that idiot that got excited at an image of a nebula or that freak that saw a **** or something slammed on to a ship. Anyway reported for trolling.

    If you're referring to the phallic shape outlined in lights on the bottom of an Eclipse class, that was me and I don't consider it at all freakish to notice such a blatantly obvious inappropriate and altogether unpleasant-looking image. I would like the light pattern changed so it doesn't look like someone drew crude graffiti on the bottom of my ship's saucer, is that so wrong?​​

    As hard as I looked there was absolutely nothing inappropriate about that image, its all in your head. Now that you mention graffiti I actually wouldn't mind having them in game and be able to slap them on my ship. Like that shark defiant someone has in their sig for instance or ffs at list have the ability to change the color of the ship completely and not just patterns. More options the better.

    this post gives some real insight into the dental mindset:

    https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3627820&userid=113812&perpage=40&pagenumber=1#post455078036

    everybody knows they like to use their disco balls to troll. in this scenario we have some small group trying to have some kind of a wedding ceremony and a dental person interrupting.

    the truly interesting thing is that the person took screenshots and copied the chat log just so they could post it on their forums and laugh at them getting upset.

    this shows the true intention behind what dental does.

    Trolling gatherings on Vulcan following Leonard Nimoy's passing with said disco balls is the one I'll always remember and put first.

    Why do some people enjoy trying to ruin any type of RP in a game? Looking at the screenshot, this little group picked a private spot for their little ceremony, and the people must have followed them there just to ruin their fun. And then then take screenshots to post and laugh at.

    Can anybody honestly say this ISN'T trolling?
