The Lighthouse in the Dark...

[Sora]

I remember a place where crazy people gathered during uncertain times to discuss crazy things. People like Aeolus, Ymgir the Frost Giant, Rugster, Kurtvegita, and more... but this splendid place is now just a mausoleum of youth.


There were some enemies I made too, like Calloused, who met me when I was 13 and will never forget that version of me, even though I'm now 25. 

Gosh, was it so long ago we were writing fanfictions in Guide to the Galaxy and discussing the possibilities of Star Trek Online?

My photobucket is still up... I still have the old imgs from the animated sig craze that swept the forums.

I miss that place. And if you were there and want to contact me and get back in touch, contact me. Sorathehappyemo. You'll find me through that.


How can I prove that it's me?? Hm... there is one thing, I suppose

[Red_King]

Well, well if it isn't our resident EMO kid. I remember that old place, I too was in my mid teens when I first joined, asking permission from old frostie if I could join any of his RP's. Being co creator of that vampire RP with Startrekkin (I think me and him were the only two who were openly Londoners), asking you guys to form a fleet on Star Trek online. Joining frosties alternate site when vexxiang.com first went down, rejoining when it came back up. Constantly feeding the troll that would not take the hnt of being banned. Managing to catch a glimps of that vamp Dichromate before she took her photo down. I don't have any images to prove that I am Red_King. All I can say is that it's good to see that vexxiang.com is surviving in some way and from.

Sora ya forgot me ya bloody tardlet.

[MC]

I was just thinking about VX today and wondered if it was still up.

Hey, Sora, Bet. I'm MC, though I came in after the golden-age of VX and thus may not be remembered. I think I joined when I was around 11-12 and I am now 24. A grown man, older than the characters I used to RP, I am sure. It's embarrassing to think of all the stuff younger-us posted, but I still wish we could see the old VX.

I still speak with OJ on occasion. He's doing well. We are both in college. I'm now in medical school with grand dreams of being a pediatrician or EM doctor. I hope you, and all the old-timers who wistfully visit, are in good health.

I am Rei from the first days. Still I watch from the shadows. All is not lost wanderers

[Mac_Trekkie]

I remember being on the old forums, too. I honest to God don't remember what my username was at the time. I think it was either Mac_Trekkie or Mac_Dude. I was very young, maybe 11? I remember all the hype about Broken Mirror 2 being in development, but as I recall it never worked quite right. Then again, I just today played some of Broken Mirror 1 and it's a glitchy mess, so what do I know? Seriously, I was able to buy and sell Dinner Napkins to the same guy a hundred times or so in order to get 3 million bars. Then I went to Paso to buy a Galaxy X, but some guys warped in and blew up the station before I could.

It occurs to me now that this game really is a Star Trek version of Escape Velocity, built in Flash. And that's wonderful. I remember spending so much time playing with making plugins. I'm glad there are still some forums left for this game.

Hello all you beautiful people. Glad to see you still exist. <3

(Yes I realise I'm about 4 months late to this party).

Funny how searching "Ymgir the frost giant" never fails to find something vx related.

Is this still kicking? The old Vex Xiang forums crossed my mind today in a flash of nostalgia... I was an active user back when the original forums were running, though it's doubtful anyone remembers me. Just dropping by and saying "hi." I won't hold my breath for a response.

[Thecommandoboss]

Sadly, I think it's past the point of "still kicking." I mean, I still play around with the FlashTrek source code and still play the games and my own modified versions of them all the time, but this is the only board I can find that is still open and works properly. I was a lurker on VexXiang Official for a very, very long time, and it's nice to see people still coming back and remembering all of it. Also nice to see new people still leaving comments on Newgrounds, Kongregate, and other game sites. It means people still enjoy playing them.

[Alien Jesus]

Anyone got any official Flash Trek Discord or forum that is still active?

If not then I will make a channel in my own Discord

discord.gg/jS45J2K

Join if you want to play with other old people remembering the good old days

[SVMK]

Do any of you still check this? If any more of you do, click that discord link above. It'd be nice to talk with you guys again.

[wow]

wow it has been a spicy sec

Weird being here, it feels like a graveyard of my childhood. I expect whoever is hosting this will stop at some point soon and that will be it. I think something will be lost with that.

^ There are more of us on this forum, which was once an offshoot of VexXiang. Remember when some people wanted to make a Broken Mirror 3 game? That was from the old flashtrek.motionsforum.com site. Same community, still some lurkers. I was pleased to find this place, and the VexXiang subreddit. What a blast from the past!

[Leach45]

A mausoleum of childhood. I agree. I miss the old RPs. I was surprised to have ever found the FT communities, but I was always more into the RPs than I was anything else.
