Well, I lose. As of today, VW Day 7 is 43 days late, so I can officially no longer point to AUW Day 8 and say that at least this isn't that bad. Until recently I could also point out that I haven't left you guys in the dark this time, but this week I dropped the ball on the updates too. According to my new philosophy of updating, that's not something I should feel guilty about, so I'll try not to. But it's about time I gave you guys another reason to keep coming back.


So 5MV is officially "unfrozen." I'll still get VW done as soon as I can, but because I clearly suck at that, I'm no longer going to make all other material wait till then. Especially under the circumstances.


I don't have to tell any of you what happened four days ago. It was a blow to the spirits of every Trek fan, even those who never liked Enterprise. And it's why, aside from an angry modification to the front page (..), I haven't updated in the last few days. I've given a lot of thought to what to do, and in tomorrow's update I'll address what this turn of events means for 5MV. I'll also be posting a special edition of This Just In on the cancellation.


In the meantime, there are several threads in 5MV's Science Fiction (../forums/viewforum.php?f=3) forum where the news is being discussed and debated. However you feel about ENT's cancellation, you're welcome to join in.

Well, I lose. As of today, VW Day 7 is 43 days late,

Give yourself 4 days to complete it.

Because if you waited until it was 47 days late, then the finale of Voyager week would be even more special. :wink:

Again, looking forward to the TJI. :D

So what does the end of Enterprise mean for the still-hanging eTrektion?

[SCMoll]

Sorry, that was me, just without the logging in.

[Opium]

Don't worry, we still have the forums to spend our time on.

And the eTrektion is simply being what it was always was meant to be...long and hard. :D

For a random rememberance of why it can wait, here's the link to my uber-colourful eTrektion banner: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v185/PoppySeedStuff/banner2.jpg

*snorts* I'm not... going to say... anything... *giggle*

I will, however, proceed to laugh my ass off and roll out of my chair.

If we poke her in just the right spot, she'll explode.

Assuming we wanted to something as discourteous and annoying as poking.

Oops, it seems I just did. o_o You may now join me in my insanity.

this is a FUNNY thread!

[Celeste]

Oh god. it reminds me of the "where can you see lions.. only in Kenya! Only in Kenya can you see Lions...." Only worse!

[Chancellor Valium]

Really........it sounds almost as bad as....*shudders* "We like the moon" at www.rathergood.com. Oh dear, oh dear.

[Ginga]

Oh god. it reminds me of the "where can you see lions.. only in Kenya! Only in Kenya can you see Lions...." Only worse!

Forget Norway!

Opium - Glad we can provide such entertainment by veering incredibly off-topic. :D

[Opium]

Isn't it some sort of unwritten rule that every thread, except for game threads, must go off topic within 20 posts?

Right?

[Chancellor Valium]

Section 4b :wink:

[MaverickZer0]

I don't think it's unwritten so much as a given necessity, really.

Sorry, I thought we were playing word disassociation....... :oops: :oops: :oops:

[Opium]

Don't worry, there is always Five Minute L&O to watch.

Wait a minute...there isn't 5ML&O. That was a REAL episode of L&O on TV a few hours ago!

*waits patiently for Zeke to post fivers again, and L&O to start doing good plots again without always trying to stir the political pot but just present good, solid, though-provoking-on-their-own plots*

And there is always CSI and listening the the stuff the short guy in my year is always saying...

Can you officially take a blowdrier to 5MV? Just being unfrozen doesn't seem to be enough.

I really want a reason to keep checking here.

[Wade, The Sane Commodore]

Sigh, I pine for 5MV. You know, the good old days when content was at least weekly, updates were 'daily', and the whole damn place wasn't so depressing. I miss those days. Bring them back, Zeke. Or tell Kira to. Please. 5MV doesn't have to die with Enterprise.

[Zeke]

5MV is not dead; 5MV is not going to die. We were running before ENT and we'll keep running with or without it. I'm behind on updates -- what else is new? I'm more behind than usual, admittedly, but I'm finishing the big ENT update now. That update is the reason the site has remained frozen; I can justify posting other stuff before the VW conclusion, but not before dealing with the ENT news. As usual, I didn't expect it to take as long as it has.

I'm sorry you find the place depressing. Can you be more specific? Beyond the lack of updates, I'm not sure what you mean. I haven't been chipper in my posts lately, but that happens when your favourite series is cancelled.

[admiral sab]

yeah don't forget what that V stands for "Voyager". This site actually started with Voyager and it didn't go bye bye when Voyager did. It not only stuck around, but grew bigger and bigger and gained more popularity. 5MV isn't all about Enterprise so the cancellation of the show has little to do with the site's status right now. Well it might have a something to do with it. But instead of complaining, why don't we try to think positively and remind Zeke of why we come here. Why we love those fivers and why we want more. Let's try to encourage him during this time of sorrow. It's hard to be funny about a show when it's going off the air in it's prime. Zekey, I understand if you need some help. Let me know. And if you want to talk about the series ending, you know where to find me. Sigh.

[Anonymous]

It's been so long I've forgotten my password if I still have one. Haven't had much time for the boards lately. But I have been reading, and did think it was important to jump in with encouragement for Zeke. We still love you, lurkers and posters alike, and we're not gonna leave because of a measly 53 day drought. Although I may have to start coming back to these boards. You guys are probably the most fun people I ever met on the internet. Thanks for keeping the site alive, Zeke and staff, even without the shows. It's awesome.

[Marill]

Hurrah, time for me to rant.

I for one am disappointed about Voyager Week, but hey I have no right to complain or make harsh comments etc. I know exactly what's it like to fall behind, 2004 was a pretty crappy year for me and I didn't get as much work done as I might have liked to, I'm still trying to catch up with it all. It took me months to finish a fic, in the old days a fic would of been wrote in a few days but in the long run it's one of my best, it was worth the wait. Anyway like Zeke, I do what I do because I enjoy it.. it's a hobby, I don't get paid for it, heck I pay to do it.

Unfortunately for me, if I posted a news message like that I'd get one or two replies and the topic would die if I was lucky. That gets me down a lot, only a few people would care if I stopped just today if I decided to. On those few days where I do get something done, I do feel good about it.. and on those days where I don't and I promised, I feel really bad for those people. I can't imagine the burden Zeke puts up with because of this as he's got so many more people to please. So please think, he only does it for a hobby, and by posting stuff like that, you're only going to make him feel worse, thus not making the job any easier or go quicker. Believe me, I do that to myself to make up for it.. I haven't had a single complaint like that, and at those times I try to rush through the things I have to, it makes it harder to do.

Sorry if I didn't make any sense here what so ever. Believe me, I'm disappointed about Voyager Week too.. I just had to get something off my chest. The people that I talk to who go to my site didn't give me any hassle or rush me, I think everyone here should do the same. Also sorry to offend anyone, I know most of you have been cool about it.

So ends the rant.

[PointyHairedJedi]

Holy crap! The Squid! There's a name I've not seen in quite a long time. I hope you do decide to become a regular poster again - it's not often we get to see old faces again once they disappear.

[ijdgaf]

If it will help turn any frowns in here upside down, I can assure people here that there is indeed plenty of content to be published in the near future. Separate from VOY week, too.

You all might want to look at the calendar, in any case.
