A word about the old Star Trek show

I ran across an interesting opinion on a forum I read. Here's the quote, since you need to register to see that part of the forum:

I don't intend to start a flame war about which Trek is best, since there are things in all of them that appeal to one person or another. But I've always thought that TNG felt sterile, and this quote gives a good account of its affect on me.

BM2 is 3 years old.

It's been three years since I founded BM2. Lots of things have happened since then.

We've had at least 4 different mining directors, at least 3 recruitment officers, 4 wardecs, and a lot of mining.

If I weren't CEO of a corp, I'm sure I would have quit EVE long ago. I signed up specifically to run one. I said that in the noob corp channel, and someone said, "Why is it every noob thinks she can run a corp?"

As such, it's been a long, hard struggle to get where we are because I've never been in another corp, and have no idea how other people run them.

But none of it would be possible if it weren't for the members and their hard work. Running a virtual corporation has been rewarding because of two main reasons:

a) I risk no real capital.
b) The leadership challenges are real.

As such, I'll probably continue doing this for a while longer.
