When I sat down front of the computer back in 2016 and created this website I have envisioned that it will become something great, something unique and something that people will love coming back to. In a sense I have achieved to create a unique site that I have never thought of having before. Little I knew about making websites, little I knew about blogging, but that did not matter, I started anyway.
This website started out as a platform for me to put my thoughts about my favourite TV show out there into the world wide web and to engage people in a conversation, to seek out new ideas and have a sense of community. I always been kind of the "odd one out" in social groups. I never really had friends either who lived closely to my geographical location, so talking about Trek with someone who gets it was as impossible as finding a Vegan Klingon Restaurant in the heart of Cardassia Prime. That has changed with social media and me starting creating more content along the fantastic people in the community such as the Irishtrekkie, Starfleetboy, TTrekkie, Ketwolski, Kertrats, The Trek Collector, Trekkie Rob, Trek on the Tube and the list goes on.
With the social media communities, YouTube creators and mayor blog sites that skyrocketed over the years, sites like trekkeprise.com slowly has gone into oblivion. Of course the big part of this - the fact that my site never really reached its potential - that I did not put much effort into the writing in the past year and a half. Not due to laziness or writers block, mainly because of the lack of passion and my personal circumstances that happened in my personal life. Sure thing I could have made more effort or plan something ahead, but this has become a long battle between my head and my heart that I had to end. On my latest live stream back in June I have shared my plans partially that I'll be back for creating articles and videos, but after careful consideration and with a heavy heart I came to the realisation that it is just not doable and sustainable any more. In the past few months I've been tinkering with the thoughts to what to do. Should I revive the site and start putting effort into writing again or if I should just take a deep breath and take down the site from the world wide web? I guess from the title it is quite obvious what I have decided... but arriving to this decision was not easy. Ending one thing that one nurtured for a long time is something special, even if no one has really visited or cared about it. Well, I did, and still doo... and I care so much that I know I cannot do this to my site any more. It's really now time to let go of it.
It is with heavy heart, but the life of this site must come to an end on the 30th of September 2021.
I love Star Trek soo much and I always been a creative soul, so maybe, one day in the far future I will return and revive Trekkerprise and to make sure that time it will boldly go where no Trek website has gone before.
Thank you all, who read any of my posts published here, checked the podcast or got here after watching a YouTube video. To you all I have only one final message:
