There
should be something for everybody here, from RPG resources to collections of
ST MP3's, fun animes and the next generation of video series!
Some
food for thought, even, in the Web Treks section.

The place has loads on information on simming, complete with a wiki encyclopedia on the simming world and a timeline.
A related link. In their own words, the Simming League is "the oldest organization for simming & online role-playing hosts and group leaders. For nearly 10 years the League has been providing resources, organizing events, resolving disputes, and bringing together the leaders of simming and online role-playing."
"An interactive story community". There are many good RPG's outside of Star Trek, Star Wars, Stargate, etc. This site hosts several dozens of them, worth a look to know what's out there. It goes from dice rolling and character sheets, to forum and PBEM sims, in a wide range of categories.
When fans take it to the next stage
A high quality series taking off where TOS left. The series features Walter Koening aka Pavel Chekov in an episode, a number of professional actors, and the filming (sound, picture, special effects) is of TV quality. A must see.
They started with "The Savage Empire" released in December 2002, continued with "The Tressaurian Intersection" and are now shooting new episodes. The props are for real, too! Episodes are cut in several downloadable sections.
Over 40 episodes and still going! All downloadable.
Stone Trek is a hilarious cross between the Flintstones and Star Trek under the form of an animated series.

This site is absolutely loaded with MP3's from all Star Trek series and movies, as well as sound effects. It is highly navigable and you can listen to the MP3's online.
food for thought - appetizers for now, more soon
RPG's in general and ST RPG's in particular generally insist on tolerance as a prerequisite. This site offers a variety of articles on many faiths and hot topics for a better understanding. In their own words, their goal is "To promote religious tolerance and freedom. To describe religious faiths in all their diversity. To describe controversial topics from all points of view."
"Pandorabots is the place where you can create and unleash virtual personalities. Pandorabots is an experimental software robot hosting service based on the work of Dr. Richard Wallace and the A.L.I.C.E./AIML free software community." Ever wondered if you were having an online chat with a real human being or with a robot? After this, you will. Be sure to talk with ALICE (link at the bottom of their main page).
