I have kept only peripheral tabs on the forum since release 1 until now, but you guys are really keeping the spirit up. It has been a long time but you are still hard at work. You have this fan's appreciation and respect. It is unfortunate I have no skills to assist the project - it keeps looking better and better.

Fans are what drives this project. If there wouldn't be fans that supports the project, it wouldn't even exist anymore.

But it is in team members responsibility to keep up spirit and interest. Door opens to both directions. (usually )

Vivendi Universal owns the USA network in which SciFi channel is a part of. Well guess who else Vivendi owns...you guesed it Sierra. So it's not SciFi being a traitor it's their new owners. If SciFi was still run by their previous owner Farscape would probably still be around along with B5. And many of us know the piss poor financial status of Vivendi. For those that don't let me put it into perspective "By the close of trading, Vivendi shares were down more than 12%, taking losses to 45% during the week, and more than 80% since the start of this year," "Vivendi is now worth less than one fifth of what it was two years ago. During that time, shareholders have watched the value of their investments drop from $120 a share to about $20 a share," "The series of takeovers left the company with a large debt pile. Then, the hi-tech bubble burst and economic growth began to falter. That meant that many of the businesses that Vivendi bought were only worth a fraction of the value the firm paid for them. Vivendi Universal unveiled a 13.6bn euro loss for 2001, weighed down by a colossal downward revision in the value of its assets." They don't care what they have to do to recover financially from that kind of debt. They are desperate. They will cut everything that takes up a large sum of money and unfortunately that is the scifi shows like B5 and Farscape. CGI isn't exactly cheap and that is just the tip of the iceberg.

It really should be called the Horror channel. They rarely show anything sci-fi. I have always hated that in the bookstore fantasy and sci-fi were intermixed - some garishly plumed elf punk next to a squad in powered armor boarding a burning starliner. Horror has nothing to do with sci-fi - totally different genres, although some Koontz is close to sci-fi.

Just one more thing to add annoyance to life.

SciFi seems to have gone on a "piss off scifi fans" spree. First they ignore facts surrounding Legend of the Rangers, then Farscape gets cancelled. And now they're hoarding shows from other stations because they suck at supporting their own. The Dead Zone. X-Files. What next? The Simpsons? Not to mention the aforementiond horror film festival they seem to do seven times a week.

Screw SciFi.

Also, here's a good article that came up a long while ago when it was announced Farscape would be cancelled:
