I'm so happy to see this sub grow! Granted it's still small comparatively but it's always full of useful feedback. You keep playing and we'll keep building. We've got some very ambitious plans for 2015 so keep coming back to boldly go where no Redditor has gone before!

This subreddit has taught me a lot. My first character on STO was made with a friend to help him win in PVPs because it was a sci.
Fast forward a few months, the same guy who told me about STO (and gave me a lot of wrong advice) began going to RedditChat to get help in missions, he was using this great community. It got so bad that the leader of my fleet had to apologise. Anyway, I made my second toon after joining this subreddit. A tac called Thon. And ever since then, I have been on RC everyday.
You guys are one of the best communities I have seen, and that I have been a part of. Thank you.
What sort of wrong advice Thon?
You've peaked my curiosity.
All sorts. For the record, this is post-Legacy of Romulus.
He said the KDF did the most DPS in the entire game, he followed the argument that cruisers for eng, escorts for tac, and sci vessels for sci, he thought phasers were the best weapon type (and told me the same). He bought me a lot of the "best gear" in the game (I was level 10 and really new, I believed him!) among a LOT more.
How is he doing now?
Gear wise lol
This is his build: http://gateway.startrekonline.com/#char(John Adams@cfjohnadams)/ship-equipment
There's not even a KCB on there.
Congratulations ;)
This forum is the first place I go to see what's happening in #STO.
The first? You actually visit the official forums? Yeck. :P
I know I'm looking forward to seeing what's to come :) And I know I, and others, often invoke the ancient gamer's right to complain. But ultimately we're all here to play with little toy spaceships... or space barbies.
The future is gorn-a be a good time! All jokes aside I am excited to see sto and this community grow and expand to even greater lengths. You guys are wonderful!
Emergency QA Hologram.....
How come that's not a Doff- because I really need QA checks on my klingon's crew. They are all terrible at their job in new and horrible ways and I need someone to keep them in check.
Congratulations to the admins and members of the sub who make this the best spot for STO info. While we may disagree at times and things sometimes get heated, we all share the common bond of a love of Star Trek and this great universe that has been created for us. Thanks and heres to 7k!
You know what makes this sub awesome?
Catgirls and Gorn puns. If it wasn't for catgirls and Gorn puns, this sub wouldn't be where it is today.
...wait, it's not?
Seriously though, we have grown so much because of all of you. We have an amazing community, both in-game and out, and with 2015 here expect even more growth and awesomeness!
Cudos to you all!
Thank you, Fark, it's been great working on building up this community these last 3 years.
Awesome people have joined, and sadly some have left, in these years I've been a moderator, but I feel that this community is still strong, and the fact that despite the issues some people have expressed with regards to recent changes, it gladdens me to see our community continue to add new, awesome members.
I also enjoy having members like you, who have made yourselves a part of our community. Some places on reddit, staff of companies like yours will just act as though reddit is just another PR outlet, but it seems like you and your fellows have made yourselves home with the rest of us.
I hope to see us grow together in the future, to see 7k, and maybe even 10k, and beyond. To continue to discuss the important (and not so important) matters surrounding a game we all love, and I hope that a year from now, those ambitious plans you've mentioned are live and loved.
Here's to the future of r/sto and Star Trek Online!
as a reference, we hit 5k subscribers five months ago, then I wasn't robbed of the opportunity to initiatve the self pat on the back post by a STO staff :)

In any case, despite some dips into negativity due to some negative aspects of the expansion, this community has been a significant positive force for the game's overall community and I hope it continues growing.
