P.P.S. For the record - I'm a hippy who has lived through the '60s. I am quite fond of tie-dye. It's just that flags by definition are symbolic. Some symbols are good, some jingoistic and bad, but they should be acknowledged for the sake of lessons learned via historical record.

W.W.J.D.?

That is all.

Not only is this a gradient fail, but a magic eraser fail. Dave, you should be ashamed.

I was aiming for the least amount of effort required to provoke a reaction ;)

Despite the very valid and inclusive points which have been made in support of the Gradient, personally, I agree with the OP. I like the distinctive bars of the Rainbow flag because of the history and evolution of social change that it represents. When I see a gradient standing in for the rainbow flag, I think that the people responsible are being deceitful in a mercenary/political/commercial "wishy-washy-I-want-something-from-the-LGBT-community-but-I'm-too-afraid-to-make-a-bold-definitive-show-of-support" sort of way.

I mean it's a flag of PRIDE - not some graphic designer's digital tie-dye experiment!

If the Gradient was adopted as a socially inclusive evolution of the Rainbow bars I'd be all for it - but as an alternative, I say "Nay". People should know the history and why the bars are there and what they represent - so that in the future there will never be a need this flag or anything like it.

P.S. Not only have I picked up women because of the bumper stickers on their car and not dated women because of the same (fish fenders are a definite deal breaker) but I have been fired from a job because of a bumper sticker that I refused to remove from my car.

Robin, unfortunately the links to things like the Welcome Center, Fleet Departments, Etiquette, et. al., all lead to a 404 page.

Thanks for pointing that out. The forum is going through some changes and some links indeed do seem broken. Those provided by Zander should work fine.

That is all.

Hi Andrew!

Enjoy the journey!

Hi Kiwi!

I wanted to stop by and welcome you and your husband to Stonewall Fleet and to the Stonewall Gaming Network as a whole! Like you, I've played a lot of MMOs over the years, staring with Dark age of Camelot, waaaay back when MMOs were first becoming a thing. I've been playing STO since beta too, but took a bit of a break before Season 4, prior to coming back. Glad to have you with us!

Thank you all for the warm welcome.

Robin, unfortunately the links to things like the Welcome Center, Fleet Departments, Etiquette, et. al., all lead to a 404 page. Is there some action on my part that needs to be executed before clicking on the link? Is this a test to see if I'm smart enough to join the Fleet, or is it perhaps a hazing ritual that you put the new kids through?
