The Picard Maneuver

I hate to say it, but Phoenix Rising UK will be closing on Friday March 5th. There’s been a lot of upset and problems lately which has resulted in the site owner throwing in the towel. When the owner goes, well… there’s nowhere left to go with the site, so it’s closing down. In it’s place however, will be a new site.

The new site isn’t a means of splitting from the old PR or creating a new, cool or hip faction. I don’t want to kick it off with bad feelings or carry over any upset. Seeing as I was working on developing a new theme with tweaked software, the new site will be the efforts of that work so it doesn’t go to waste. All I had to do was come up with a new name, sothepicardmaneuver.com was born…

The Picard Maneuver
Geeky chat with tight spandex! he Picard Maneuver was developed to be a care free, stress free playhouse of immature fun as well as general laid back conversation with meaning, depth and a love of tight spandex, it’s all about not taking yourself seriously. Anti-serious, anti-drama, anti-bullpoppy and pro-fun. You can sign up and become a member, or if you have something to say, something to show off or just want your own little care free corner of the internet with a geeky twist – sign up for a blog.

Do we have rules?

Well, not really. There’s the usual no-tolerance of harassing, bullying or discriminating other members, but that’s pretty much it. You can swear, shout, talk about your boss being an ass, join in more mature conversation (yeah, you’ll need to ask me about that) or simply post your artwork, stories or other stuff.

All we ask is a tall ship and a star… no, wait, wrong speech. All we ask is you sit down, log on and have a laugh. Not devote your life to us. Just have a giggle and enjoy yourself.

Bring your own beer, money doesn’t grow on tree’s you know and I can’t afford to drunk you up…

So come in, sit back, make a few posts, start a blog and have fun. If you don’t.. I’ll send Worf out to get ya!
