http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/07/12/17/1721232.shtml i read it here. startrek.com is closing. Curlsman writes to let us know that the fan site startrek.com, operated for 13 years by CBS, is being shut down and its staff laid off. Is this site worth a write-in campaign? From the (perhaps final) post: "Goodbye from the STARTREK.COM Team. Sadly, we must report that CBS Interactive organization is being restructured, and the production team that brings you the STARTREK.COM site has been eliminated. Effective immediately. We don't know the ultimate fate of this site, which has served millions of Star Trek fans for the last thirteen years. If you have comments, please send them to editor @ startrek.com — we hope someone at CBS will read them." excuse me, i need to go cry myself to sleep after some vicious use of a voodoo doll with cbs written on it...

If its true and C"larks B"utt S"lime trying to kill off startrek for good then its up to us fans to continue with it. I guess several hundred million $ wasn't enough for their investors.  Ive never seen a corporation that was "good" for the general public! |

No matter how much Paramount and Viacom abuse and neglect and generally make a bloody mess of Trek, and despite the fact that they seem to have intentionally stuck a knife in it's belly, technically they still own it.

I bet that the feds will ban any anti-liberal talk next. Then the US will start to collapse into a full-scale civil war that will leave us a broken nation. Then World War 3 would spark off with the invasion of Iran by Israel, so on, so forth ( yes I know I'm being a pesimist).

Shelia, if they move, blast them.
Politaical correctness is communism in disguise.
ACLU actually means American Communist Lawyers Union.
It turns out the glowing sword, is actually a glowing key. Yeah a glowing key that can stab people. Or it's a key all the time and when you stick it in people, it unlocks their death.

1.) We've already been through a civil war. 2.) And here I thought I was nuts. 3.) You missed an S in pessimist. 4.) I'm all out of bubble gum. |

I know we've been through a civil war, but one is coming. I'm not nuts, but I just think that one is going to happen in our time, that would eventually spark of WW 3.

I just ran into this thread, and it's a sad sight for Star Trek. I really hate CBS now... recently, they've been taking all of the ST:TNG episodes off of Youtube. For many of us who missed the shows as they came out and don't want to spend hundreds of dollars for each DVD set, Youtube is the only source of TNG fun.

I think Spike TV still shows them if you have cable or satelite. |
