Cylonix 18 Channel Vocodor for Windows is Freeware

October 01, 2004 by Webmaster

The long-running Cylonix 18 Channel Vocodor for Windows is now available as Freeware instead of Shareware. The program author James Clark made his program available for free download with the following caveat: "This program is no longer being supported. Don't send me any email about it. Read the help file. The full program (with no copy protection) can be found at the following link." With the free Cylonix 18 Channel Vocodor you can make your own Cylon speech on your personal computer and it will sound just like the Cylons of the Battlestar Galactica television series. Many thanks to James Clark for making the program freely available, and thanks to Gregg Eshelman for posting the announcement on the Battlestar Galactica Discussion List.

Dirk "Starbuck" Benedict is NOT doing the New Show

October 01, 2004 by Webmaster

Straight from Dirk "Starbuck" Benedict's official webmistress Tracy B. on August 11th: "The quote I received from him this morning states, and I quote: 'Heard rumor I'm in new Battlestar Galactica. FALSE. FALSE. I have heard NOTHING from anyone connected to the show.' Unquote. Doesn't get any plainer than that. Moving along." Thanks to Tracy B. and Commander Taggart for squashing the rumor and posting Dirk Benedict's official statement at Colonial Fleets.

A Battlestar Galactica Continuation: It's About Us

October 01, 2004 by Webmaster

New report from Peter Noble of ColonialFanForce.org: "That's right, as soon as Battlestar Galactica went off air with the showing of The Hand of God on April 29, 1979, that's when our fandom started the campaign for a continuation of the original story. We couldn't accept Galactica 1980 and we can't accept nuGalactica as neither one rings true to the original work that was laid down by all those who gave Battlestar Galactica form. Before Hatch, Larson, DeSanto, Singer, Hammer, Moore and Eick ever emerged to bring the concept back in some way it was we who stayed true and wrote those letters and signed petitions and waited. We're still waiting. Ours may be rag tag fandom of many differing opinions, but we've all worked together by supporting the Colonial Fan Force to give it one last roll of the dice. It's the greatest thing we as fans have ever done. Never think that you don't matter, keep on supporting TOS in any form you can and stay true to what you've loved and supported for nearly 26 years. I won't be watching nuGalactica, I'll not give them a ratings point, hell, they can stunt cast every TOS actor still breathing but it won't make me watch, because I know deep down that's the one thing TPTB fear, is that no one/or not enough people will watch. I've drawn my line in the sand and with Colonial Fan Force I've helped make the strongest possible statement I as a consumer can make. I'd urge every TOS fan to hold the line because united we stand, divided we fall." Many thanks to Peter Noble for posting the very well-written report at the Battlestar Galactica Club Forums.

October 01, 2004 by Webmaster

New report from Commander Taggart of ColonialFanForce.org: "Dvo47p has assembled the following guidelines for letter writing that were employed by the Save Farscape folks during the successful Farscape campaign. These are important guidelines, and they have been adapted for our purposes.
