Sign the four additional Battlestar Galactica Online Petitions

The four additional Battlestar Galactica Online Petitions are also available for you to sign and show your support for Battlestar Galactica. The Battlestar Galactica Richard Hatch Petition respectfully requests that Richard Hatch make his trailer, "Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming" available to be shown on the Internet. Richard Hatch -IS- listening! If you agree with the petition, then sign the petition to make your voice heard. The Battlestar Galactica Sci-Fi Management Petition requests a change in management at the Sci-Fi Channel. The petition urges the Sci-Fi Channel to focus more on sci-fi programming, including Battlestar Galactica, instead of broadcasting non sci-fi television shows, or axing sci-fi shows that have done well, such as Lexx and Farscape. The Battlestar Galactica Save Starbuck Petition is a humorous petition, but for a serious matter: Ron Moore's new Battlestar Galactica mini-series script for the Sci-Fi Channel calls for Starbuck to become a female! Starbuck, one of the original series' most popular characters, becomes Kara "Starbuck" Thrace in the new mini-series, and "Starbuck" is merely her radio call sign. If you want Starbuck to remain a male and make your voice heard, be sure to sign the Battlestar Galactica Save Starbuck Petition. Finally, the Battlestar Galactica No Re-Imagining Petition is a succinct petition that supports Richard Hatch's "Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming" continuation concept over the Ron Moore re-imagining felgercarb. You can make a difference, so be sure to sign the four additional petitions, after you sign the five primary petitions!

5. Featured Updates: BattlestarGalacticaClub.com

Forums

Fifth Week of January, 2003

Today the Battlestar Galactica Club Forums were upgraded to a major new software version. It's a new program as well. The forums software is now Invision Power Board 1.1. It's a fresh and completely updated version of our former software, Ikonboard 3.1.1. The new Invision Power Board was written by Matthew Mecham, the same author who wrote the original Ikonboard program. Just about all the features of Ikonboard have been written into the new Invision Power Board software. Also, the interface is very similar to Ikonboard, with several new features included as well. All of our users, forums, topics, replies, and messages were successfully converted to the new Invision Power Board. Invision Power Board is written in PHP, which is faster and utilizes less system resources than Perl. At the Forum News & Updates forum is a list of the enhancements included with the new forums software.

E-Mail Bonnie Hammer

A new call from dvo47p at the Battlestar Galactica Club Forums: "E-mail Bonnie Hammer! Remember, do not flame Ms. Hammer, that would hurt any chance of a prequel.
