ShowMeSciFi.com is excited as any website out there for the upcoming Star Trek XI movie. That’s why we signed up for the Star Trek XI webmaster program from Paramount – the general idea was that for each click you generate, Paramount would tally them up and do something nice for you.
After just a few short weeks – Paramount HAS CANCELED THE POINTS PROGRAM.
Q: What happened to the points system?
A: Due to click fraud and to make use of the Webmaster Program easier on users we have eliminated this points system. Nothing else relating to the program has changed. Please just point all links to the official site. If you have questions please direct them to us in the forums.
Click fraud? are you kidding me?? Other webmasters are that desperate??? Paramount is so incapable that they can’t properly measure clicks? KHAAAAAAAAN!

Amazing the hype that’s been going on for this movie (“Star Trek XI”) for the past few months–and it’s not even due out til Christmas, for Chrissakes! Will the ad campaign go “viral” a la “Cloverfield”? Which led to huge opening weekend grosses and then…well, word spread that it was a glorified “Godzilla” movie and the numbers plummeted accordingly. Does it fill Trekkies with hope that one of the screenwriters is the genius who puked out the script for the “Transformers” movie? That was a fine,literate piece of writing, wasn’t it? Forty minutes of actual footage and 80 minutes of CGI, that’s what it takes to make a blockbuster these days. I despair for the state of contemporary cinema…
