Greetings.

As they say, all good things must come to an end and unfortunately this is true of the Starfleet Comms Podcast and Radio Show.

Those shows are on a hiatus. Once circumstance changes then maybe they will return either in the same format or in a different one, who knows?

The ISK Bucket is similarly affected. Seven episodes were written so far with a story arc that could last conceivably at least thirteen but only three were produced due to resource constraints. So we may see that being completed when or if the shows return.

I'd like to thank noise and Penelope Star for their warmth, friendliness and hard work. I'd also like to thank DJ Hijak and DJ Daggaroth for their kind assistance. I could not leave without thanking CCP Guard and CCP Manifest for opportunities afforded.

I would also like to thank all those who took part in the shows as well as those that were planning on taking part.

I am appreciative of those podcasts, sites and individuals that supported, liked or mentioned us. Especially those that returned compliments and generally behaved in a courteous manner. The cliques can fuck off and die, you know who you are and a special place in hell is reserved for you, you miserable pieces of shit.

Last but not least (you didn't think I'd miss the chance to chuck in a cliche did you?) I would like to thank each and every listener of our podcast and radio shows. You are awesome, each and every one of you.

We grew from episode one in October 2010 which had a download of circa 300 to today where each episode has over 7500 downloads. We also have over 335 followers on Facebook, that's more than any other Eve Online podcast as far as I can tell. It's all very spectacular and something I think all of the cast should be very proud of.  read the rest of this post»

Greetings.

I'm giving some advance notification that www.starfleetcomms.com will go dark on January 18th 2012 in support of the SOPA protests.

The site might not be big (teeny weeny) but I do feel this is just the thin end of the wedge. If I can support this protest and it harms noone then why not do some good?

It has to be said there are arguments for and against the SOPA bill. I do support all legal forms of protection for copyright holders and intellectual property owners, however any protection process should also follow due process and be better defined to prevent the possibility of errors. The SOPA bill, in my opinion, is not clearly defined in its alignment to the protection of the rights of the innocent and this is an opportunity to have this corrected.
