After all, "There's an old... saying in Tennessee-- I know it's in Texas, gotta be in Tennessee--'at says, uh, 'Fool me once... shame,' uh, 'shame on... you... You fool me, I can't get fooled agin."

Sorry, a little overboard there. Watching C-Span's partisan hacks can do that to you, I suppose. Yes. Right.

Anywho, it's true! TrekUnited is doing quite well, thanks in part to relentless spammers such as myself. On that subject, I apologize again to Fuyu Ginga. She knows what I'm talking about.

EDIT: I hate double posts, so here's today's update: TU has reached $27,715 thus far. Chief of Operations Chris has issued his first weekly State of the Campaign Address. And it was a pleasure to find that Five Minute Forum-Goer AdmiralSab has arrived (which I somehow missed when it happened 4 days ago), as has the Constructively Criticizing and Most Mysterious IJ3 GAF. Media coverage is beginning, with Tim Braezel's ABC Radio broadcast yesterday and CNN.com's noticing us two days ago. That will be all.

Zeke, have you considered getting a Random Dancing Elephant emoticon for this board?

Nice avatar, richardson.

$54,000! That means we're... we're... 0.2% of the way to $35,000,000! Almost!

Yay!

Well, considering that it's been said that 10,000 bucks would get attention, things are staring to happen.

Paramount might have to re-consider it's decision...

Now now, that's not nice. You might at least have brought enough comedy blunt weapons for everyone!

*Releases a horde of evil, bloodsucking, disgusting, MOSQUITOES!*

I win.

Anyhow, sorry to pull this thread back on topic, but I, being privileged with bonus information as TrekUnited U.S. Midwest Regional Coordinator, have just learned that The Tim will be making a MAJOR announcement tommorow, March 1st, 2005, at some time during the day, or, (blatantly borrowing psuedo-Zekian allusions) "soon" thereafter.

I know what it is! I know what it is!

March 1st. Be there.

By the way, $65,425!

Ahem. Zeke? I think richardson wants some major surgery. Yes, the "with two rocks and a hacksaw" kind......

apparently Tim's server is so overwhelmed from being flooded with hits that it FOOMed on itself. Announcement was scheduled for 5:05pm EST, but everything's down. Victim of his own success, poor lad. You thought smurfing was bad...try several million very anxious Trekkies! :lol:

Not to distract anyone from the tension and suspense of this moment, but... "smurfing"?

I want Zeke to feel special (cause he just bribed me into telling him), so I'm not going to tell you where the press release about the announcement has washed up on the internet's Great Shore of Jetsam in the form of a TU "leak."

UPDATE!: The server at TrekUnited.com is back up, but the forum is not. According to Vulcan_Soul (a high-ranking admin), TrekUnited crashed due to a hacking attempt. In possibly related news, the community message boards at StarTrek.com almost simultaneously stopped accepting posts due to an "Error 500."
