THOSE THAT WOULD BE HEADLINES TOP

Read It! Like It!

In case you haven't read about it in WeBBSights, SNNHN has published, through WS, a story of someone else's design. This parody of "A Christmas Carol" centers around STF personalities, and has been called "irrelevant." Go see it! It's fun!

Have a Holly, Jolly...Holiday

The staff here at SNNHN (both of us) would like to wish everyone in STF a Happy Holiday(s)...whatever they may be celebrating. Choose from the following list:

a) Christmas
b) Hanukkah (Chanakkuh)
c) Kwanzaa
d) Boxing Day
e) Or Get Your Degree Now! You can major in Business Management or Accounting!

STF YEAR-IN-REVIEW TOP

"The Custom-House," a Prologue

Certainly you can remember STF's 1998 year. And if you think really hard, you can probably remember way back to the beginning of it, too. We'll bet WeBBSights doesn't do one of these. It consists of some events, some winners, some losers, and some insight (what does that mean, again?).

SNN Update Bows Out

For years, it was the apple of STF's eye, the non-dairy creamer in its coffee (we used that joke already, but no one will know). Then, Mr. Ballway went to college, and the periodical with a cast of at least four faded into the depths from whence it came. In its place popped up WeBBSights, more fact than fluff, Aye on the WeBB, more fluff than fact, and SNN Headline News, which really hasn't been classified yet.

Bourdaa Installed, Batteries Not Included

After eight months of the Hertzsch administration, Mike "Schlemiel" Bourdaa, founder of STC and alleged father of Seamus Hughes, was named Chancellor of STF. When asked whether or not he was seeking re-election, Bourdaa slugged our reporter and made off with his Ray-Ban sunglasses.

WeBB Pounds P$ Into Little Tiny Pieces

STF's WeBB (an acronym for Web Bulletin Board developed by Mike "Sphereway" Ballway) became bigger than boxing, and Prodigy as well. The popularity gained us some new members, without whom we would be dysfunctional, and with whom we are more dysfunctional. The lack of P$ performance was compounded when Fleet 2, the GWF, packed up its satchels and moved to the WeBB.

Ship For People Without Lives Commissioned

Oh yes, we call it Titania! The first-ever Daily Posting Ship was commissioned, with FComm-5 and Titania CO Nathan "Burbage" Miller named its CO. But you knew that from reading the second clause of the previous sentence, so we'll move on. This was also the first time a solution had been reached without a lot of petty bickering. It is believed that Mark "Great-and-Schubert" Longanbach, Bob "That's Bill, sir" Spurlin and Bill "That's Bob, sir" Gunty were influential in getting this monstrosity commissioned.

Seamus Hughes Becomes a Force to be Wrecked, er, Reckoned With

Ever since publishing his first attempt at humor, Aye on the WeBB no. 1, AFComm-6 and Trinitron CO-for-a-week Seamus "Lamest" Hughes, has published a couple more doosies. He got a little hyperactive when WeBBSights referred to its magazine as the "MAD magazine of the WeBB," then beat Larry Garfield senseless with a cardboard toilet paper roll.

IRC Jell-O Wars Frosted in Blood and Libel

You read about it in SNNHN II22, and again in WeBBSights 18, but you don't know terror until you experience a Jell-O War. It brought nostalgia back to those who flirted with this sort of thing on P$, and a newfound sense of guilt to thos who hadn't. It also gave #star-fleet personalities a chance to display their legal talents in the ensuing trial.

#star-fleetgate Shows Us That Jason Y. Lee Shouldn't Play With the Mail Server

In a scandal that rocked STF and showed us the true meaning of Thanksgiving, the Command Loop sent out many higher-up messages that proved one fact: it's a conspiracy! As a result of mixed messages and misunderstandings, many arms were broken and teeth shattered, and another IDir lost (second time in as many weeks, we believe).

Old Members Come Back to Jeer Us Some More

First, the surprise came about in the form of Starfleet News Network founder Genesun "Call me Chromosome, er, Gene" Han. Then B.J. "Straight-head" Phillips (alleged former FComm-5) reappeared after quite a long time away. After B.J. came news of Jason "Moutains are bigger than" Hills, purported Dresden ex-CO and current Dresden & Outpost 42 COS (youngest-ever holder of a CO position). Then, the big one: STF's biggest, best, dare we say "winningest," Praetor Jim "Kid Dangerous" Midyette popped by and has done an exclusive interview with Aye on the WeBB. Still no Cathcart, though.
