 * "Stop moving my chats."
 * - Ronald D. Moore, 2372

Ron Moore's AOL chats (formally, the letters of St. Ron to the Trekkians) are a series of ancient texts carbon-dated between and, (citation needed &bull; [ edit]) composed of the ramblings of Ronald D. Moore (occasionally under his alias, Ronald B. Moore). In them, Moore humorously avoided answering any questions posed, implicated Brannon Braga in all of Trek's mistakes, and revealed which of the DS9 crew were cylons.

In a historical irony, these chats would be later invoked to settle the most fundamental theological disputes among Star Trek fans, such as whether was a reference to Batman. Ronotheistic Trekkies would add Moore's opinions on everything from Alpha Jem'Hadar to Ziyal on an online encyclopedia.

Summation
The show was known for its complex characters and storylines, engaging battle scenes and darker (less Utopian) atmosphere. Unlike its predecessors Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Next Generation, AOL chats tended to avoid an episodic format for most of its run and instead featured multiple-episode story arcs. It tended to deal with subjects never before dealt with in any real depth by Star Trek; subjects such as who started the US Civil War, Monica Lewinsky, and why all female characters on Star Trek were sex kittens.
