Okay now that we have had the ultimate threadkiller, why dont we praise someone who expands the experience of the sdmb. Those are the people we should congratulate not the people who kill the thread. Or just wait until no one cares and sticks their name on the last thread. I am a newbie so i will let the veteran dopers talk this one out, i am just interested in the results. Nominate your favorite starter. ---

I think I’ll go ahead and start this thread… ---

Any of the **Trek Dopers** Doesn’t matter who starts it. Doesn’t matter what it’s about even, as long as it’s Star Trek. Our weekly ENT reviews, our games, our memories, our songs and fake scripts. It’s all good. And there’s about a good dozen regulars that will fill up the threads, with about a dozen more who will join in from time to time. I also check on any thread started by the regulars in my giant (now locked) Predict and Pirate threads. Those are some creative, interesting people. And, I will look for everything the idiots post until they flame out or get banned. Have to keep a close eye on GD and the Pit, though. ---

There used to be a poster here named MagicalSilverKey who started a new thread roughly every eight and a half minutes. Maybe he’s still here? I haven’t seen his name in a while. ---

I think I’ll nominate **Scylla**. Love him or hate him, he’s a damn fine writer with one of the all time great first posts [E.N.G](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=15906&highlight=evil+nazi+groundhogs) ---

I always read anything started by **Miller**. And as one of the aforementioned Trek Dopers, I’ll have to second \*\*NCB \*\* on his nomination. I’m sure it’s hard to get into if you’re not a regular (it was for me) but once you do, it’s quite an experience. ---
