2. We are making them PAY. They have the techs on the payroll to keep the board going.There are a couple more reasons I think, but I’ve been awake for too long and my brain is almost jello at this point. But I wanted to get you the news.

For Immediate Release
Special Guests at the Cyber-PartyActress Pat Tallman
Music Composer Guy Gross
In an effort to save the award winning, highly acclaimed television show Farscape, Scapers have united in hopes of saving the show and getting the promised Season 5 that the Sci-Fi Channel had previously announced. The Sci-fi Channel has announced a Chain Reaction (episode marathon) for December 24, 2002, with Season 4 resuming in early January 2003, only to end in an unresolved cliffhanger. Farscape fans are working towards having another network pick up the series so the story may run to its intended conclusion.
A global event has been planned, this time taking place on the virtual landscape of the internet. “Journey to the Center of the Internet: A Cyber-Party” is planned to take place November 11-17, a virtual gathering via message boards, that will host fans of all entertainment and creative genres in the name of exchange of information and inspiration. Invitations have been posted on hundreds of message centers across ALL science fiction, fantasy and entertainment fandoms, urging people to break away from their groups for a weekend and explore the possibilities offered by the internet. Fiction, humor, parody and poetry challenges will be offered for fan participation.
Professionals from fields such as film making, costuming, makeup and others will be available to answer questions and discuss the creative process. Special guests agreeing to drop by to share their expertise include, as of 10/21/02:
*Actress Pat Tallman (Lyta Alexander of Babylon 5, Night of the Living Dead, and many other TV and film appearances),
*Award winning music composer Guy Gross, artist of the original score for Farscape, just recently nominated for the Australian Screen Music Award for Best Music for a Television Series
*Award-winning costumer extraordinaire Zelda Gilbert
*Costumer/wardrobe/makeup professional Marti Acker (Cirque Du Soleil, World Con guest speaker, and most recently wardrobe supervisor for indie film, The Last Stand).
The “Cyber-Party” will offer many of the best features of a convention — the opportunity to network, make friends and learn — without any of the travel, expense or inconvenience of leaving home. This event has been put together by an informal committee of fans with the cooperation of Save Farscape (www.watchfarscape.com) and other Farscape fan groups.
The “Cyber-Party” will take place on November 11-17 2002, at the address below: http://bboard.scifi.com/bboard/browse.cgi/1/5/984

Thank you very much, I just responded to sadgeezers post on the farscape spam thread. I apologize to anyone thought this was spam. This invitation is not only for Farscape fans. It is for anyone who loves sci-fi.
We are basically hosting a cross genre event. We are having a make up artist, an independent filmmaker and writers showcase their talent. It doesn’t matter if you only like one type of sci-fi. We are a community that should get together and maybe give one another ideas.
It is going to be on the bboard at sci-fi, everyone is invited and others do respond to others work. My own story has been on this board and recieved both negative and positive responses. We would like to see others work also. Anymore questions..I’ll be around.
Thank you, I respect your decision and appreciate your offer to allow it to remain on other forums. I do hope your members consider joining us for this event, as it is really meant to be a cross genre gathering which will include talent such as actors, make up artists, an independent film maker, as well as a show case for fan writers.
Best regards and thank you-
The invitation is not meant as spam…I didn’t know if everybody went to all boards, so I thought I would post on several different sites. I’m sorry you considered it spam.
This is an invitation to all sci-fi fans to come and discuss their shows and their talents with others of like mind. Not just Farscape. Thank you for posting your feelings, but you were not given accurate information on the cancellation. It was not based on viewership. It based on the fact it was a bad business decision by Sci-fi. They are wanting to have more programs be ‘Earth’ based.
