The Arc Forums were an online message board community in which players who played video games on the Arc platform could discuss the games, seek help and connect with each other. In June 2015, game forums, including the Star Trek Online Forums, were consolidated (or migrated) into the Arc Forums as categories. Within the Star Trek Online Forums, in a sub-section called Ten Forward, players would post fan fiction, participate in Star Trek Online: Literary Challenges and role play. In a separate section, called The Foundry for Star Trek Online, players would discuss player-created Star Trek Online Foundry Missions.
Star Trek Online Forums[]
The Star Trek Online Forums were the online community which held sub-sections for fan fiction, Literary Challenges, both official and unofficial, role playing and Foundry Mission discussions. In 2015, the Forums were migrated to the Arc Forums where they were delegated to a Star Trek Online category.
