Old School Star Trek Role-playing

Next up is Old School Star Trek Role-playing a fun little place, that is just plodding along instead of soaring. This forum was started in December 2009 and currently has 166 members, 372 threads and 5,152 posts. The color scheme is not the greatest for readability or for looking inviting. Only three members account for 45% of the posts. This is another unknown little forum, that just sits there in its own little backwater, not advertising itself.

So it is just on life support and it kind of makes me a little mad. There is no reason for this forum to be so mired in the doldrums. Who doesn't like Star Trek? 

It is unlike some of the forums I am looking at, pretty well organized. It has the following sections.

Old School Star Trek Role-playing

Star Trek: The Original Series 

Role-playing General 

Board and Wargaming 

Resources and Links

Game Systems

Space Patrol (1977)

Traveller (1977)

Starships & Spacemen (1978)

Star Fleet Universe (1979)

FASA Trek (1982)

Where No Man Has Gone Before (2009)

The Game Systems section is about playing Star Trek using various systems. Obviously fixing the color scheme and getting the word out would help, but something else is needed that I can't really put my finger on it. Part of it would boil down to this, are these people canon purists or are they willing to strike out on their own and carve out an old school setting in a different time frame so none of the canon characters would be living so that people could reasonably play all the juicy fun roles. Maybe that and picking a game system and then fan supporting the heck out of it. Good luck guys, this is too good to just sit here like this, give each other a swift kick and crank it back up a few notches.
