  1. For all the startrek.com refugees,

     

    I wrote an e-mail to PeopleLink, the former chat service provider for startrek.com, regarding acquisition of the java chat applet that startrek.com used. This is the letter I got back:

    Thank you for your interest in the chat applet.

     

    Unfortunately, due to contractual obligations, we no longer provide chat

    hosting services; However, we still offer site licenses for the enterprise

    PLChat Server and applets for customers that have their own servers.

    Pricing starts at $5000 for up to 250 concurrent users.

     

    This is a perpetual license and does not require annual renewal. Annual

    support is also available for 10% of the license price.

     

    If you have any questions regarding chat licensing, or if there is anything

    else we can help you with, please let me know.

     

    Best Regards,

    I was hoping, since the loungers were accustomed to that applet, that we could find a host for the room. Unfortunatley, that won't happen, and if startrek.com ever decides to bring back its chat feature it won't be through PeopleLink. Because of this, I have given up my hope of returing things back to the way they were. Some of you did that a long time ago.

     

    This post is really for the administrators of StarTrekFans.net. At first, I didn't think much of stf.net, mainly because I viewed it as a barrier in front of preventing change. In recent days, I've abandoned that view. I've now seen the devotion that the stf.net administrators have for providing a place for us to gather, and how they never let popularity or greed get in the way. This site has a deeper meaning then startrek.com could ever have. It promotes a family type feeling. It seems easy to get to know the people here, and I hope I will in the near future. The stf.net admin work hard to keep this place up for all of us, and I would like to say thank you to them. :bag:
