Hi Atrocities,

I’m just one of those guys who love your shipsets.
I’m not a regular visitor here, so I missed the whole history. But what I learned now after reading very few of certain postings is more than enough....
Your story seems to be one of those much too good examples for the saying “Man Is Wolf to Man”, just another poor soul full of envy and narrow-mindedness pursuing his very own happiness and nothing else. It is ironic but unfortunately not very surprising that these people who pretend to be/live/or whatever the pure Star Trek miss the whole point. I would call it tolerance and mutual respect but who am I compared to the true crusaders.
That had to be said....
Sorry to read that you don’t intend to continue your wonderful work. (Forgive me, if the following sounds patronizing, but English obviously isn’t my native language and I really got mad about the whole stuff.) You have every reason to be angry and disappointed. However - according to my experience in my life/job (and I’m really old) - retreat isn’t always an option, don’t let the bad guys win too easily. You and your work deserve a better fate than being stopped by someone who probably wouldn’t even considered to become a member of the Federation due to complete lack of some of its most important criteria.
I wish I had a server, it would be an honor to host those great sets.

Please resonsider....

Regards
R.

I did some checking, contacted a few of my sources, and I found that paramount discontinued shutting down fan sites because it gave them a bad rep and drove people away from the franchise. This was back when DS9 started it's second season.

Needless to say, I'm very disturbed and upset about this turn of events.

And I can't help but wonder who's next. Maybe a disgrunted star wars fan, or babylon 5 fan, or just someone who is disgruntled.

I enjoyed the trek race styles, even though I am not much of a trekker these days. Can you at least upload them to here for safe keeping or maybe just setup a small site somewhere to host download links to them.

I used AT&T for internet too... until a couple years ago. I started having trouble connecting (3-4 dialing attempts to get in), and the connection would drop unexpectedly; and then they changed from "unlimited service" to "150 hours a month", and finally I started getting WAY too much spam. So I hopped over to Earthlink. They've been pretty good so far, but I'm getting tired of dialup and I can't get DSL to my house (not Earthlink's fault - Verizon, the local telco, has my phone homed to a switch that's too far away for DSL to work), so I may have to bite the bullet and go for cable modem service. Too bad I despise and loathe my local cable provider...

I would give you space on my server, but unfortunately, I'll only be Online for the rest of the week.

After that, I'm moving, and my connection will involve floppies and intermittent dialup for a while.

How much space do you need? I could host at least part of your site on my webspace.

Atrocities,

I am truly saddened by this turn of events. I know that when things start hitting you all at once, it can be very frusterating. However, you know that it can only go up from here, so I hope that you continue to post here as often as you currently do, as you obviously enjoy it. That's my 2 cents, anyway! Let me know if I can help in any way.

Sachmo
