USS Calypso
First, forgive me for my April Fools prank. To be honest, I NEVER pull pranks on April 1st, but someone mentioned doing something in character and telling his crew he was going to celebrate the day... Well, that discussion led to changing the name of the ship. Thus the USS…

Theta Fleet (dot) net
The IFS database at thetafleet.com imploded. Cascading database errors. Possible framework errors.
Bottom line, it is a mess. So, we had thetafleet.net, and we've uploaded a new database.
This is the good news. The bad is that we're entering all the characters again.
So, you have received emails from ltueor1…

A number of players on the Orion, myself included, are online a lot and answer tags frequently. Others are not able to log in as often.
So, to try and…

Hi, everyone!
It's been a night of changes... (at least, it was nighttime for me)
