TREKS IN SCI-FI FORUM

(http://www.treksinscifi.com/trekdaily/pictures/2008-08-31-Toasting.jpg)

Hard to believe that it's been three years since I had this idea and started the "Treks in Sci-Fi" podcast.  I've made such good friends because of it on the forums, and via emails, etc.  I hope to continue to improve and bring you all much more adventure and fun in the coming year - or years.  And also, the next several months are going to be very exciting as we get closer to the new movie coming in May, 2009!  So - I think it's time to celebrate and keep on Trekking!

It really is hard to believe it's bee three years. Heres to another three. Happy Birthday Rico and thanks for all your hard work. We all appreciate it so much.  :cheers

Congrats on the 3 year milestone for the Podcast Rico, you do a great job each week.

Rico, you're still doing the podcast -- old friend ?

here here! :cheers

Rico, three years is an amazing feat for an privately funded podcast, three years shows an amazing dedication of your time. It shows your passion for all of the greatest things Sci-fi has to offer us, and you should be very proud you have come this far. But the best thing you should be proud of, is your ability to share it with everyone. You arent afraid to let others contribute in some way, to let others "hijack" your podcast every now and then.

Treks In Sci fi is truly special, and I wish I heard about it sooner so I could have been there to share all of the memories with you all. But I have to say my favorite thing about this whole set up Rico... Is the fact that you said your mission on your very first podcast, and three years later you have kept that commitment. Week after week you bring QUALITY to us, and for that, we can never thank you enough. So today, (Preferabbly after the podcast) crack open a nice cold one and reflect. Great job!

:cheers
:happybday Treks in Sci Fi!

Thanks for all the compliments and keeping me "on course" everyone.  It makes all the time worthwhile.  I really hope to bring you some new, unique and special stuff during the months to come.

Congratulations Rico on the milestone!!  You've got the best podcast ever.  Truly happy that I was able to find it.

Rico... Congratulations on three years of AWESOME podcasting. You know I've been here since the very first beta cast and I would have never guessed what this would have turned into three years later. I have enjoyed each and everyone of your podcasts but what has effected my life more are the forums. I think I was the sixth person to sign up when you started these forums and ever since they have been an important part of my everyday life. I have made some very close and life long friends on these forums and it's all thanks to you Rico.. for having a cool idea about doing a podcast about sci fi/trek stuff.

Thank you Rico for the wonderful three years and here's to :cheers many more years of Treks in Sci Fi

Three years of geeky goodness!
Thanks for keeping the sci-fi universe alive

Yeah, thanks Rico.

Fo you it's three years but I've just about listened to the lot in 3 months (I'm going to have serious withdrawal when I sync up with 'real time!)

Thanks for some excellent and engaging shows, both factual and entertaining! Looking forward to the 4th celebration...

Hi there Rico, I just wanted to add my voice to the collective.

I remember back in the early part of 2006 when I was searching for Star Trek websites and I came across this website that had a picture of a of some Geek looking back at me giving me the Vulcan salute and the LCARS background. I only glanced at the site thinking that this bloke was far too geeky for me.  ;)

Then later in the year, I discovered this media called Podcasting, here you could listen to "Internet Radio" shows about your favourite subjects. I did a search on Itunes and Lo and behold this same geeky bloke appeared on my screen. Well this time it was almost like an epiphany, I wasn't going to just avoid it again. So I downloaded all the available back catalogue and over the next few weeks I listened to the lot, in my Transit van at work and I loved every bloody minute of it. The thing I remember most was this strange ethereal voice in the yonder calling himself "Kenny from California". I realised I wanted to be part of this whole commenting on shows and being part of a thing called Forums.

So when I had finally caught up with the most recent show, (I think it was around show 75), I decided to join this thing called the Forums. Before this point I didn't even know what forums were. So I joined up in October 2006 and have since really enjoyed the camaraderie that happens at this great place with even better people.

I'm afraid I don't spend as long on here as I would like, my internet time is limited (If I worked in an office, I would forever be abusing the tinternet and letting you guys know what I thought on a particular subject), and under 700 posts in 2 years is bugger all, but I want you all to know that I really enjoy being here and I will try to be around more often.

So thank you Rico for these past 3 years of entertainment and also thank you for introducing me to podcasts in a serious way, on another thread I listed all the podcasts I listen to and It is far too many to list here, but I can genuinely say that it's down to this show and this forums that podcasts now play a major part in my working week.

And It's all thanks to some Geeky Guy staring back at me with the Vulcan Salute.
Thanks again mate.

Tim.

WOW!  Has been that long.  I know I'm not here on the forums a lot but just know I listen every week.  Thanks for all the shows and everything you do for everyone Rico.  You're super!

Congratulations Rico! I'm so glad my first introduction to podcasts was your show.:)

Thanks for the past 3 years of Trekky goodness!  I'm glad that I stumbled onto the podcast.. it was like accidentally striking gold! 

Congrats Ric!  Here's to the next three and beyond!

Well Rico,

It's 11:30pm and I thought I check back. 30 minutes left of your third anniversary. I said all I could in my audio comment and am sorry I made you cry. But all of us mean it in our hearts when we say to you. Happy three years of podcasting and what you have built here. You have much to be proud of not to mention a global community of friends. You have taken the best of what this technology was meant to do and brought us all together.

Here's to another three years of Rico!

Three cheers for Rico!

Hip Hip, Hooray....Hip Hip, Hooray....,Hip Hip, Hooray

Congratulations Rico, your podcast has made my working day go amazingly smoothly (blessed art thou ipod) and i've met some wonderfull people and am proud to call them all friends. Cheers mate.

I did some math and I realized I've been listening to Trek in Scifi for 2 years. And I really would like to thank you Rico for those 2 years of giving me your enjoyable podcast and for all the time you've put into the show. Congrates on the 3 years of your podcast, it's been great as long as I can remember and I hope it continues to be great.

-Dan "Sheppard"

Thanks folks.  It means a lot that so many of you have been listening for a long time.  I hope you all continue to enjoy the show and the forums and tell all your friends to do the same!  ;)

As I said in my comments in last week's show: Treks in Sci Fi made me love Sci Fi like i never have before. Keep it up Mr. Dostie.

WOW! Three years now. It's been amazing. Treks in Sci Fi mean a lot to me because even if I had ben out for a while I always know I can get back home and chat with great friends.

Thanks for the ride, Rico. It's been wonderful so far and I've learned a lot. Keep up the great work.
