Startrek.com Shutting Down

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Saturday December 15, 2007 @03:08PM from the could-have-offered-it-to-fandom dept.

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."

...as if a million blogs suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened. OK, wrong movie, but the question in my mind is, just how will this affect the internet? I'm sure it'll survive the demise of one group of geeks. There're plenty more where they came from - get a grip!
